  1. Great work on the louvres Craig. Really fine work Alan
  2. Beautiful work. You have made a very convincing Beaufighter Alan
  3. Those wheels look very nice. I think I would be tempted as long as there was limited risk of wrecking them putting the tyre on Alan
  4. Very nice paintwork Craig. Excellent build of an older kit Alan
  5. And it stops Sprue Brothers worrying where I am Alan
  6. The updates are one of the highlights of my day . Excellent work Alan
  7. Thanks Mark The doctor was pretty candid about rushing things so I plan to behave. Unfortunately I've found I can see well enough to order stuff off the internet Alan
  8. Thanks EG. At least I can read as long as the print is not too small which is a major comfort. Tearing through the Trevor Reinhardt books Alan
  9. Thank you OC . Playing around with the WW2 Pacific photos is distracting me nicely Alan
  10. Running out of superlatives here. That is just wonderful Craig. The aging is perfect and makes a exceptional build Alan
  11. Thank you Mark. I'll do that, there is quite a pile to sort through and some might find them interesting. It seems I'll have the time.. I got a bit of a knock back yesterday. I had the two week post surgery exam which I was thinking would be a bit of a formality. Good news - cornea healing nicely. Bad news - two more weeks before I can wear a contact lens again. At this rate there is going to be some authentic moss growing on Castillo Loarre. Oh well at least everyone else's progress is excellent to read Alan
  12. Spectacular visualization and beautifully executed.. Wonderful work Alan
  13. Tomorrows the big day. Off to the local eye guy and hopefully confirmation that the eye has healed and permission to resume contact lens wear. As a project that was manageable with sub par vision I started sorting out boxes of files left to me by my old neighbour who was a B-29 captain in the Pacific 1944 to 1945. Some interesting experiences; he was on Okinawa and Tinian; knew Chuck Sweeney and saw Bockscar fly out. He had quite a collection of nose art in amongst the pile of photos. I've scanned a few along with a sample of interesting images. Overexposed was a B-29 Shirley was a P-47 Nocturnal Mission was a B-24 Okinawa Christmas card Flight School Orangeburg SC Nashville TN If anyone is interested in any of these images I will scan and post some more as I work through them. The nose art is especially interesting but I guess you need to see the rest of the aircraft to be any use as a modelling reference Looking forward to filing thise old blocks down again soon Alan
  14. Looking forward to your build. Great to see this unusual aircraft being build and I'm sure you will do a spectacular job Alan
  15. Beautiful painting Craig and the photography is excellent too. The Uschi stencil effect is nice. Another item for the shopping list Alan
  16. And that's New Bern - thank you Autoconfuse
  17. Thank you Ken. It all seems to be going well so far. Yes it was a M.I.C.E. Procedure. Mitomycin Intravascular Chemoembolization Not a lot of it around so I had to go to New Been for it. Your post up care is definitely worth following Alan
  18. Thank you for the emoji Andrew. I'm already a bit wobbly with one eye so a few rums might straighten me out Alan
  19. Thank you Dan it seems to be going well, no discomfort apart from the eye drops😎 I'm looking forward to getting back to the castle Alan
