Very nice water effects. Beautiful work Alan
-
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
-
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
-
Thank you OC . Playing around with the WW2 Pacific photos is distracting me nicely Alan
-
Beautiful accurate painting OC. Great work Alan

Bugatti Type 35B by CDW - FINISHED - Italeri - 1:12 Scale

Running out of superlatives here. That is just wonderful Craig. The aging is perfect and makes a exceptional build Alan -
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

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

Beautiful painting Craig and the photography is excellent too. The Uschi stencil effect is nice. Another item for the shopping list Alan -
Beautiful. It looks great Alan
-
Very neat paint job Jav. Great model. Alan
-
And that's New Bern - thank you Autoconfuse
-
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
-
Thank you for the emoji Andrew. I'm already a bit wobbly with one eye so a few rums might straighten me out Alan
-
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
-
Thank you OC. It a bit frustrating already but at least I can enjoy everyone's builds on here Alan

Beautiful work. You've made a spectacular model. It prompted me to look for my copy of A Very Special Year. The 1972 F1 season. But I can't find it. One house move too many. All I could find was the 1974 John Player Yearbook Alan -
Thanks Mark I'm looking forward to getting back into the castle once binocular vision returns In the meantime I have this terrible thirst for rum Alan
-
Thank you Ken I went to New Bern NC for the surgery (an old stamping ground from my AV-8B days) and i made a great choice. The eye clinic and surgical centre was absolutely first rate and the staff were unbelievably friendly and kind (actually it seemed like everyone in New Bern was) Alan
-
Thank you very much OC. I got home at midnight last night. The procedure turned out to be a bigger deal than I expected but the doctor is pleased with the result. Lots of eye drops for the next two weeks and no driving but otherwise all good. Unfortunately my eyesight while healing is not going to be good enough for modelling and I am banned from anything dusty (eye infection risk) so the castle is stalled for a few weeks. Alan

Great work on a favourite aircraft Jav Alan
