You definitely do not want any of that ...... went in hospital for same day hernia repair 10 days ago ..... emerged 5 days later after spending 3 of those days NPO, nil per os, with an NG tube, because the alimentary canal went to sleep and would not wake up. The surgery was a breeze. I was fully awake post op and ambulating, just certain parts of the waste disposal system decided to take a 3 day nap. The medical term is ileus. And Covid Rules - 1 visitor per day per patient between 1100 hours and 1800 hours for 4 hours max; when they leave they can't come back till next day. I've been home since late Tuesday last. Can't lift anything over 10 pounds for 4 weeks post op. I don't want to tie up EG's log with my rambling but I had to reply to Jack - I had the same about 9 years ago, went in for a pre arranged Hiatus Hernia op the surgeon debated doing it as a "Key Hole" job but in the end I was just sliced open (about a 6 Inch cut in my groin) same as your self no lifting for so many weeks but I was lucky I was out the same day, all is fine now apart from ocassional sensations from the wire gause they put in. Take good care of yourself.

I had a really good surgeon, spent a lot of time talking with me, had a great sense of humor. Even came up to check on me on his day off before going to his granddaughter's soccer game. My "doctor" daughter (PhD Epidemiology, 25 yrs experience), drove down to see me; he spent a good amount of time speaking with her. I am walking around the neighborhood each day without assistance, so far so good. Your wife's experience is scary, hope she is fully recovered now.

Used it on my 3 - 1:350 destroyers Hi Jack, yeah that was on the schedule for acquisition, except The Small Shop is out of stock.... but I located the bug (smaller bending tool) on evilbay and grabbed it.... the same seller had a Brass Assist as well so I grabbed them both..... in researching I found that most ships builders use the bug for 1/350 work... I found a couple of modelers that have the Five Speed, the large 8" version and the Bug, with the two larger versions spending most of the time on the shelf but the little Bug version, (2" version) stays on their workbench and is used constantly.... So I went with experience and bought the little one...

Have you looked at Model Monkey for more detailed replacement 5" turrets? Unfortunately Micro Master does not offer any. It's actually 12 .50 cals brother, 6 each mounted Port & Starboard..... I figured with 25 in the kit, it will give me enough to handle all my .50 cal needs in April '42 and leave enough left over to do my '41 Arizona.... The Kraken Hobbies '41 MG conversion came in today, it gives me the 6 tubs you see in the pic in place of turret #3 and the tubs for the pilot house roof.... My first 3D printed parts.... They even come with .50 cal ready lockers, the printing is crisp and clean with no issues as far as smoothness or filing/sanding to worry about...... five stars if you ask me... I took a look at MM's destroyer turrets, very nice as well, but this is one place where Dragon did an excellent job especially on the canvas topped partial turret. (turret #3 in the pic above) also, turret #4 is a double knuckle turret, which Dragon actually molded perfectly.... I couldn't justify the expense..... (but I did see their conversion for the USS Vincennes superstructure for the Trumpeter San Francisco kit, that is now on my list as well as their USS Arizona parts, I will be doing business with them in the future) Thanks for the suggestion to take a look.... Well that about wraps it up for now, my GMM etch set showed up in my USPS informed delivery e-mail, but didn't show up in my mailbox today..... (although the political junk mail did, I do believe the government's mail priorities are a little bit different than mine) the post office says it could show up in a couple of days... Hmnnn, first time, (after almost a year of having it) informed delivery said it was coming today and it didn't show up.... Anyway, thanks guys for following and the comments and ideas, it really appreciated...

Jack12477 Posted October 22, 2020 Share #52 Posted October 22, 2020 I had considered getting the bug but thought it would be too small, so I got the 5.5 model.

One of the reasons I did the research on them is it looks so darn small in the pictures.... but when I got to see what others doing 1/350 ships use it's predominantly the bug or a sheet of glass and a pair of blades... now I have inadvertently cut PE parts using two blades for the folding especially the more recent fold edge relieved etch.... so this time I'm going to use a tool... I can see where the larger ones would be useful on armor models, they have parts like fenders that really do need the length.... but there isn't anything on a 1/350 ship that long....

Old Collingwood Posted October 23, 2020 Share #56 Posted October 23, 2020 Looking forward to it bro, you are collecting some excellent stuff there - should make your build really jump out the screen. I too have a little plan for next year to bring me back into some ship building in 1/350 scale - but that wont be till late 21. I have a few builds planned for next year .........😉🙂 OC.

lmagna Posted October 30, 2020 Share #60 Posted October 30, 2020 On 10/21/2020 at 11:31 PM, Egilman said: It's actually 12 .50 cals brother, 6 each mounted Port & Starboard..... My mistake. When I was looking at some of the pictures available online it looked like a number of those tubs on the lower decks held single 20mm guns with shields, not .50s. But then it is not my build and I was not really trying to research the ship like you are. popeye the sailor, mtaylor, Edwardkenway and 2 others 5 Quote Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
