Just when I thought life was settling, I've got shingles! To complicate matters, I took an immune-suppressant only yesterday - Doh!

Hello Andy,
Just has a catch up on your work, all the plaudits are above, and I can add no others except grovel, grovel.
Sorry to hear about your health problems, let's hope they are brought under control soon.
How is the book coming along?
Regards
Mike.Comment

Thanks Mike,
The book is well under way. I've reached my target area of 40,000 - 45,000 words. I have to finish the models now so I can photograph the finished articles. The book will have about 250-300 colour photos. Mike Butler will paint some more figures for me, so I have to send them to New Zealand.

Sorry to hear you're being hit with bad health. Can't add anything else that has been said except the guy wtih the Lewis would have been nice having a canvas covered Brody. :smiling4:
Cheers,

Just a small update. I was able to go to work this week, although I'm still being woken through the nights with Shingles pain. It's a horrible illness! I've got to the itchy stage, so it's on the way out, thank the Lord!
I've been preparing these two figures to send to New Zealand. Mike Butler has agreed to paint them for me!! Who wouldn't want Mike to do his wonders on their work??!! I will send them along with the two figure which go in my dugout model (One lying asleep and the other reading a map.)
The following photos show what I did last week. The officer has a respirator bag whose strap is pulled down the middle of the back by the cord which runs round his chest. I made the bag and strap in Magi Sculpt and a bit of fuse wire for the cord. I've made some tiny little 'D' rings on the bags which the cords tie to. I had to remake ones for the Lewis gunner as I've reversed his bag and they are now on the back of the bag.
I made a little foil badge for the top of my folding periscope. This is the manufacturer's brand badge.
I've been checking over the figures for rough bits before they go down under. I'm sending a base for Mike which I made. That's under wraps until he shows it painted. He has some figures to go on it, so another joint project.

Lovely work Andy. Glad to hear that you're working your way through the shingles, even though you have to put up with the itching.Comment

Lovely figures Andy and envious having Mr Buttler paint them for you.
Shingles...brrrr. The Chinese call it Snake as the rash spreads around the body like a snake coiling. They say that if the two ends meet means its severe and can lead to death. Thank goodness you're coming out of it.
Cheers,

Your work never fails to impress me Andy. Just shows what can be acheived, this can either inspire the viewer or induce them to give up.:surprised:
I take the first one !Comment

Nice to hear your getting better Andy. The figures are a credit to your professionalism. Great to hear Mike's painting them for you. If you ever want to go for the play skool look send them my way LOLComment

Thanks guys. I hope I don't intimidate anyone, but understand what you're saying John. I have times when I think "why bother? when I look at what Mike achieves with paint. But then I stop and think it's my hobby and I do it for the enjoyment not to compete.
