She is sleeping now which is early for her as she also suffers from Restless Leg Syndrome and it pays her up something rotten stopping her sleep till the early hours, part of the reason why I am normally up till so late. OC.

Indeed My late farther was type 1 diabetic and it was part of the resons he died all is organs collapsed at the same time while he was in hospital, I was with him while he bled out and died. OC.

We think it was a combination of things - her blood oxygen was perfect 100% her temp was normal her heart was normal on the EG machine, but her bllod pressure was quite high aswel as her diabetes (she is type 2 diabetic) we think it was becuase of a spike in her diabetes and hight blood pressure (becuase she was pannicking) that this might have caused it. OC.

Just had the most frightening Two - Three Hours, the admiral started having some really nasty pains in her chest in the region of her heart, they would come on then go, so we rung the out of hours medical help and they transfered us to the Ambulance Paremedics - anyway cut a long story short the came came out to the house to check her over. She was wired up first checked her Blood pressure - that was high (but she was also having panic attacks and hyper ventilating) and worrying expecting the worst, then they wired her up and checked her heart - that was normal, they checked her temp - normal and diabetic that was high, so it was decided not to go to hospital but to speak with her doctor instead. Scarry Scarry moment for her and myself. OC.

Evening all, I managed an hour or so on the bench today, but I decided to move over to the 2nd KGL - I painted their jackets and trousers then left then to dry. OC.

Jack, I have a very similar set up and also use the Vallejo range both Model Colour and Air paints, what might help is to pre mix the model colour with thinner / flow improver and keep some in a seperate bottle, instead of mixing the thinner/airflow improver in the airbrush pot, this might help to keep a consistant thin flow through the needle. That way you could shake the bottle before pouring some into the airbrush pot. OC.

Well done Edward, she has come out looking so nice - hats off to you. OC.
-
Just to back up what Mark said - would be cool to see your build log. OC.

Your a braver man than me Craig - I think its a Magician art form what paper modellers do. OC.

Looking really nice Jack - nice tidy paint finish. OC.

Nothing wrong with us all going a bit Phantoom mad - its was probably the best plane of its time and sadly missed, and I think we are all blessed having our very own mister toom driver Ken - so much respect (same to all the other vets) My show of respect taken by me - OC.
