Had a shit run in recent weeks ,93 year mum in law fell breaking ribs punctured lung so went up north a bit quick (notts Derby border midlands?up north where I come from) stayed with sister in law(spinster thats how I like to refer to her) the first hospital was half hour each way then they moved her and that was a hour each way ,any way caught some covid type thing so with mum in law looking like she was going to make it and feeling really ill came home and left the missus up there ,any way things got worse couldn't lay down without having to jump up because I couldn't breath ended up in hospital had my moneys work MRI CT SCAN CHEST AND LUNGS XRAYED ULTRA SOUND ON MY HEART all ok told if it wasn't for the arthritis I should be running marathons so with all vitals in full working order got sent home? Ended sleeping best i could sat up down stairs on the settee, mean time daughter and boy friend got hit head on by some twat coming around a bend too fast on wrong side of road although badly shaken both were OK mean time chest got worse any way managed to get a doctors appointment lovely doctor was very concerned told me not to worry she'd get to the bottom of it gave me a through check up and decided I had a very bad chest type infection ,strange because never even had a cough or anything still taking the antibiotics and she phones every day for a progress report still sleeps sat up down stairs but can at least now breath in without having to labour just to breath in so fingers crossed the course of treatment is starting to the effect.
Kept busy by glueing plastic built a nice little multimedia swedish thing on a t38 chassis resin brass and plastic UM models 1/72nd saving that till the time was right ,went to the stash and pulled out a couple up 35er 's enjoyed building them so thought I'd shoot som primer at them the old russian is hobbyboss the shilka? is zvesda a e Bay bargin 12 squids.




Primer was mig one shot straight out of bottle no thinning pushed it through at 18 -20 psi I like the stuff its fooled proof.
I've done a lot more to them since but without becoming more boring than the England footie team ill leave it there if you'd like to see more let us know I'll try to do a proper bloggy thing. Dave
I recon ive used enough paint on these house bricks to do 10-15 72nder's

Thanks guys beginning to feel like the medication is getting hold of the situation ,missus still away at her mums but last night did manage a whole night if somewhat fretful in my own bed. Modeling almost exclusively in 72nd I cant get over the size of them as I said like house bricks ,not going to say it'll be nice to work on something diffrent but I'll call it intresting lots of things I want to try out to see if I can scale them down to 72nd. Still in financial shock at the amount of paint I've had to squirt at them. Dave

All the best to you and yours Dave, the miniatures are coming on a treat!

Well much improved over last couple of days beginning to feel more like my own miserable sarcastic self , been enjoying some self indulgence at the dining table/ bench comming and going between bouts of telly and handing out death on my old ps4 ,anyway had a nice little session am when I had no room left on the pallet so went out to kitchen to clean

---

Looking back through the dining room door felt the finger of fear run down my back ,bloody hell missus and daughter back from a week at the mum in laws (she doing really well)now the house fuhrer doesn't mind me occupying the dining room but I dont think she'd be so pleased with this

So first thing in morning the big tidy before their return ,shame happy as a pig in oop: springs to mind. Dave

[Scratchbuilder]

Ahhh! the fun of the SWMBO being away, meals on your lap in front of the telly, feet up on the coffee table, socks not changed for a week, let one go when you feel like it and no complaints, tv remote at hand nad not in her control - BUT you can tidy up and wash all the dishes, take a shave, and you can bet she will walk in, sniff the air and the first words will be "Where's the cat????"
Pleased the chest is getting better - hoovering should help with that :smiling6:
