[BattleshipBob]

[Jakko]

[BattleshipBob]

You are very welcome Scottie

Evening Bob

If you can't get a Stug , a Pz III will do just nicely

Shame you aren't getting the painting done, probably better for your chest too at the moment.

Always more fun when you can let rip with the AB, and have a really good session with them all lined up.

Enjoy the Tamiya, they build too quickly, what will you do tomorrow?

Regards

Hi Steve, day of rest Saturday!

Remember the Pz 111 is the Stug's dad!
After seeing the specialist my chest lungs etc are fine so thinks its a virus still lurking from the pnuemonia. however met a heart chap who has discovered issues with two arteries. So meeting him again next week.

Falling apart!

Morning Bob

I was discussing the issues of age with my Dr as she was injecting mt left knee with steroids and anaesthetic on Thursday.

We are only designed to survive passing on our DNA to the next generation, so after 20 its all extra time, that our bodies are not meant to have, so we just start to fail.

Thankfully not as short lived as the One day life of the May fly, but in the great scheme of things not much longer.

As it has been explained, like the 1,000th photocopy, that is old age!

In the 21st century digital world, our brains have surpassed our bodies, but unfortunately not always to the benefit of the species or the planet, but that is a discussion for another forum.

I guess we should enjoy the moment and have fun when we can.

Enjoy your Saturday, I have to work on in 5, and ts today

Regards

Always meant to have a bash at this one Bob. Will follow with interest.

Ain't ageing a pain? Hopefully, your issues are just minor ones to do with getting older, as my optician said when she pointed out the beginning of cataracts! As to why humans live beyond reproduction age, it's thought it might be something to do with preserving experience and knowledge for the group, as well as doing a bit of childminding while the younger members are out hunter-gathering. Some comfort!

Morning Bob,

Another build! Good god man, you’ve built more in the last few months than I’ve built in the last few years Good on you and your flowing mojo mate

Hope whatever is up with your arteries can be dealt with....if not Simon T could knock something up from pewter and plastic card
Take care mate

 

[BattleshipBob]

Thanks all, really appreciated !!

Good thing is the old ticker is in good nick and pumping fine. Two arteries have narrowing due to calcium. So i was warned its time to do things to control it, on diet, with a reduction in the good but bad grub, bugger. However lost 4 lbs in a week, even got a exercise bike on order, closest to a gym or run i will ever get lol.

Seems nothing to do with my breathlessness and fatique, but glad its been found before a possibly heart attack.

Bob

 

[Steve Jones]

Nice to see you starting another build. I'm not too sure what you like to get out of your models but finishing one is quite high high on my list Home many shelf queens do you have now??

Seriously mate, you will have a lot of fun with this kit. Good luck

 

[BattleshipBob]

Trying a different build method on this one, I have always built the tank then painted but have seen that many build and weather the hull with tracks etc then add the superstructure later, so going to give it a go on this build to see how it goes

so hull in primer, not bothered with torsion arms as they will not been seen

Ahhhh calcium in the pipes, know a good plumber and will send him around. Had three attacks in a day until the aspirin kicked in, first when I was having my morning fag and constitution, and then two at A&E just to prove I could have them. Bad diet, drinking to excess, lack of rest. Now it is controlled diet, I can eat what I used to but only occasionally eg pizza. three forms of meds. Blew up from 9 and a half stone to 12 and a half but have steadied at 12 during recovery. And I keep telling SWMBO that getting me out of bed before 9 in the morning is what led to the H/A, but she's having none of it, you just ask John Race, rules by a rod of iron....... sympathy fund being set up on the quiet...
As for your III, great subject that always seems to be the bridesmaid of the IV. Got the chair reserved as always on you builds.
Cheers, Mike.

 

[Steve Jones]

Interesting to see how the new system works out for you. Looking good so far

 

[Jim R]

Hi Bob
Building like a man possessed. Hope the new plan works.
As for ageing. There's only one alternative and I don't fancy that yet!
