Buddy you have every right to have a ramble. If you need to chat just pm. :thumb2:

That is some burdon to carry, and I thought my asthma and crap left eye were a problem!!

Cheers john I was just trying to tell people why I sometime get down, I was diagnosed just over 5 years ago, I've have come to teams with the out come now, with Emphyseme you plod along for a time and you drop a level (get worst) it's how big a drop is the scary problem. I know it sound silly but I know whats coming but I think its more scary for the good lady wife.
As for Asthma that's no picnic either, thanks John for listening I'm off now to make some palm trees.

Hello Pete,
Just caught up to this build, and the paint is in the process and looking really good. Stop doubting yourself, I for one really enjoy watching your builds and looking at your painting skills, I really wish I could hand paint as well as you do. Not to worry about the frustration, I get there as well, hence the lack of real updates.
I sympathise with you and your illness, and yes the ones on the recieving end are usually the wives. When my ptsd raises it's ugly head it can become a war zone in the house, first it was the heart attacks, then being diagnosed with what had been said was just a bad tempered old wazuk but was ptsd, after all this time. At the start it was nothing to hear the PC bouncing down the stairs or the monitor being dragged screaming up the path to the bin by its chord. I'm 70 now, and what I will be like if I reach 90 is anyones guess.... But I now do one day at a time, then a week, then a month and at each day there is the wife supporting me. Keep up the superb modelling. Mike.

Peter, I'm in the same boat as Mike with the Ptsd, at least you seem to finish your builds and get some colour on, I have only managed to finish one since restarting, all the others I've done seem to fly through the air, and the're not even wingy things, costs me a packet, so your in good company, anyway onwards and upwards ...:thumb2:

outstanding! Hand painted? don't know this word :flushed:, makes it more outstanding (if it makes any sense)

I was pleased to see your palm leaves the size they are, even thought I checked mine several times I thought they were too big ,so feel much better .
Love the trunks, think they are the hardest part to model.
