I am in Two minds over this Alan, I think as there is no rush - perhaps best to wait till my new glasses arrive and play around to see how I go - I could return to it by doing the scenery that needs creating out of those sytrene pieces I ordered some time back, it will be less eye strain related than my figures. OC. -
Thank you kindly Jack, I am not being seen through my doctors for my eyes, it was-is with my local opticians and it would not be very practical to take one of my figures there, I already had special scans on my eyes, and have been told the condition can still happen any time (good job I don't drive). OC.

Good afternoon all, I have spent some time today giving my build some serious thought, I think I may struggle to do small scale figure making - so perhaps its time to see if I can sell what I have done so far as a work in progress for someone else to continue it. I would not have a clue how much it is worth or if anyone would be interested. Sad but if I am not going to do it credit - perhaps its time to pass it on. OC.

Thank you kindly Mark, I am taking good care of my eyes and will continue to do so after I pick up my new prescription glasses next Wed, its part my own fault on the net for like 12 hours on the trot and not the correct glasses trying to see everything - put so much strain on my eyes - till my brain said "enough". OC.

Thank you kindly Alan, it was such a relief to have a good outcome from sutch an advanced scan I had done - as I thought i was going blind or something. OC.
-
Thank you Craig. OC.

Thank you all for the kind replies - I have not been on while having tests on my vision - I am suffering from ocular migraines caused by eye strain from the wrong glasses and too much computer usage, I have got a new glass prescription to pick up next week for Two new sets of glasses, in the mean time - its less comp use and regular paracetamol. OC.

Fantastic work - really nice. OC.

Hi folks, before you think "yippy an update" no such luck for now, I have picked up a strange eye condition, that led me last evening to call the out of hours medical people for advice, For the last week (When it started) I am getting a kaleidoscope type anomaly happing in my vision even with my eyes closed, they last for a few minutes than shrink in size before vanishing - its happened to me about Four times now with a gap of a few days when I was fine. My vision needs glasses but I have not had me eyes tested in a while. The phone call I did - I was asked many questions to narrow down the cause - and they cut out anything needing hospital action - but advised me to see and optician for an eye test. It doesn't rain - it pours with my model building lol. OC.

Hey Alen, thats turned out really nice - you have to take into account the problems you had with the kit, and then the scale - you have built a faithfull rendition of the the old bird - she looks just like an "Argy" yep I have seen a few at a few airfields over here. OC.
-
Turned out well I think, staining is not that easy to do and get right. OC.
-
Another excellent kit Alan - blimey you are keeping yourself busy mate. OC.
-
Sounds like a plan mate. OC.
-
Superb level of detail on that Alan, think you are right about using Grey and not Black - abit like what we are recommended about subs, a good shade I have used for this is Nato Black as its a Dark Grey shade. OC.
-
Im in for this one as well mate - I will get my seat and nibbles - looking forward to this one. OC.
-
I too used to have issues with detailing the props - with me it was getting a nice straight line at the tip, so I hear your pain mate. OC.
-
Thats Great work Alan, I remember bashing around with plastic plane kits in this scale and doing horrible jobs, love how you are turning this kit around mate. OC.
-
Yep I think so, Edgehill was really close to my grans cottage just a few miles, even closer than the other battle I mentioned above, love all stuff ECW. OC.

Thank you kindly for those kind comments, You should dig your mossy kit out and start a build log - we will follow with mutch interest. OC.
