Very nice Dave

Health issues have interfered with benchtime, but at least I have managed to finish the tank,
washes don't need concentration, or steady hands!

With the nights getting longer, I'm going to have to try and move my benchtime to late morning, as opposed to afternoon. At the moment I'm not sure about finishing the figures, it'll depend on how things go in the next few days...........

Sadly the figures have defeated me - my hands are just not up to face painting. It's frustrating, I know what I want to do, but, I can't get the fingers do the tiny movements I need! The tank is finished, and in the completed GB folder.
The Meng model is superb - no problems at all. The motorbike is a real pig to assemble, and the spokes are well overscale - PE would solve this.................[ATTACH]319198[/ATTACH]

All in all, a disappointing end to what I thought was going to be a nice diorama. It's brought home to me yet another thing I can't do now, that I could a few years ago.

The only good thing about getting old is that it's better than the alternative.
