Hi Everyone. Sorry to you all about the inactivity? I haven't done a lot this past week or so. I started this project as a distraction from my Wife's illness. June is having chemotherapy, we spend a lot of time at Christies, also going to different places for blood tests an scans. I thought doing this build might take my mind off things. However I have come to the conclusion that at the moment I can't commit enough time and effort, and so I have decided to lay the Victory up, until such time's arrive for me to be able to focus properly on the build. Thanks' for the warm welcome, keep up your good work and I hopefully will see you all again sometime in the future,
Kind regards Martin.:thumb2:

Truly sorry for your situation Martin. Please do drop in from time to time to let us know how you are doing. You don’t have to be actively modelling to be a valued member of the forum.

[Jim R]

My thoughts are with you and your wife. I hope all goes well at such a stressful time. As Tim says do stay in touch through the forum.

[JR]

Like wise Martin hope things go well for your wife.
Agree with Tim and Jim, don't be a stranger.

Thanks Everyone. It's hard to explain. When I take her for treatment, I'm waiting, when we go for tests, I'm waiting. We get home and she falls asleep so I'm waiting again, but I'm frustrated because I can't do anything. If that makes sense.
But I shall be watching what's going on on here, I need some sanity. lol. Thanks again everyone. Martin
