Cheers Greg it's great to have you looking at my work and coming from a true scratch-builder like yourself thank you sir.well done Peter... awaiting for more...

Jon.
Thanks Brad for the words of encouragement much appreciated. Thank you .Pete,
All looking great stuff, but best thing of all is, your still building and posting,
I think we all have times like you're having, but remember you're doing something you love , so do it how you want and not how others want you too, be happy in what you do, and keep it going buddy.
Hi Tim and thank you too, I don’t feel pressurised It's just me I know we are our own worst critics but I look at my stuff and remember what I could do not so long ago and I just get very frustrated. Thank you again.I echo Brad here.
The great strength of this hobby is that it matters to no one but you. If you don’t finish on time, or at all, it really doesn’t impact anyone else. All that matters is that you enjoy it. If you share it with us, even better, because this is good quality stuff...
I’m glad you do want to post because I enjoy reading your updates, but please only do this because you want to...don’t feel pressurised.
That said, great progress, like this loads...
Cheers
Tim
Cheers John, yes you are right I'm sure some of us do become frustrated with the hobby at times I know I'm my own worst critics . I look back at what I could achieve not so long ago and I just get very frustrated. The reason is that I have stage 3 gold severe Emphyseme with a FEV1 which means I've only got between 30 & 50% of normal breathing capacity and yes I'm on oxygen that's why I hand paint I used airbrush and was pretty good if I say so myself. There also the amount of drugs I have to take 32 tablets a day ( which is 11,680 a year at that's when I'm well) which makes me shake a lot. About 2years ago I also had lung volume reduction surgery at the Royal Brompton London to remove damaged parts of my lungs.I also have other stuff going on which doesn't help matters.Pete.
I'm sure everyone feels like you do at times. We sit looking at what we are building and become disillusioned, it's quite normal after spending hrs looking at what you have achieved and then thinking it's aload of rubbish. In fact it is far from rubbish . Your builds are always interesting , nothing wrong with any of it at all. Those figures are great and the attention to detail is something you should be proud of.
Please carry on doing it the way you do
John
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.Buddy you have every right to have a ramble. If you need to chat just pm.
That is some burdon to carry, and I thought my asthma and crap left eye were a problem!!
I'm sure when I say here you are among one large family on here who all care .
John
