Thanks Mike,
The reading in stereo has proved easier than the fat fingered duel with the ammo storage clasps.
Cheers Jim

Good luck with it Jim. I need to go and lie down in a darkened room after seeing all of that etch.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for dropping in, hopefully I'll make some progress soon.

Good Evening to you all,
Following the worst bout of man flu I have ever experienced which I contracted at the start of this blog and life in general being far from brilliant my patience isn't where it needs to be for this build so I am therefore putting it on hold for now and I'm moving onto something less taxing.
regards Jim

Evening Jim,

So sorry to hear this, but I know exactly what you mean with the man flu. I hope your health returns to normal with no bad after effects. We will be here to watch this bling thing build when you are ready Sir. Just take your time and get well soon!!!

Prost
Allen

Jim,
Hope you will be firing on all cylinders again soon.

Look after yourself Jim and get yourself fit and healthy my friend. The build will still be there when you recover so just take it easy mate.

Hi Jim
Take things easy. Definitely the best way to get better. All the PE will still be there when you're back to your old self.

Jim
I built this a few years ago myself, was just straight out of the box though, so I'll pull up a seat. Hope you are back at the bench soon.

cheers

Jim,
When you come back to the build, try to get hold of a pair of flat eyebrow tweezers (raid the wifes makeup bag), they are for one hand, and for the other a pointed pair. I use those that do not have the teeth on them. In conjuction with those you can bend small pieces by pressing the part against your thumbnail and using that as your 'anvil'. using this method keeps fingers out of the way plus you can see what you are doing. Hope this helps, and hope the cold has retired. I know how you feel, I have had sneezing and running nose for months - I think we have found the cause - the perfume in the kitchen waste bag, get up in the morning - fine - one whiff of the bag and I could easily go through a roll of kitchen towling.
Take care, Mike.

Thank you all for your kind words I must admit its nice to wake up in the morning without feeling like I'd been stuck at the bottom of a ruck all night. Many thanks Mike for the advice I'll give that a go when I restart this project.
thanks again Jim
