Thank you everyone.
Here is a pic of the ship.HMS Illustrious.1/700.View attachment 203455

Great return Ralph, this was my last ship in the RN, fortunately I never went to sea on it as it was in refit in Rosyth.... hated it, way too big. Yours is a much better size.

Thank's Roger.

I have the Academy 1/350 premium edition USS Indianapolis here to do,It will be the biggest single model I have ever done.By the way, what other ships did you serve in the RN?
Ralph.

 

[billyturnip]

HMS Fife and Liverpool, then things started getting smaller, Orkney, Anglesey, Arun and Shetland, followed by Lusty.

Looking forward to seeing the Indianapolis, are you a member of any other modelling forums Ralph?

That looks good Ralph, At the moment I'm keeping my grey navy firmly in the roof but I keep telling myself One Day .
Best wishes, Gary.

I was almost tempted by a Trumpeter (I think!) Dreadnought kit today - the sheer amount of rigging put me off!!

Glad you're back Ralph, I can empathise with the problems of getting the meds right!

Good to see you return to the site Ralph.
With your exceptionally high production rate I wouldn't worry about slightly lower output!

All the best.

Hey Ralph,
As one who has a similar journey without hospitalization but close,just keep on taking the meds and don't be afraid to ask for help when needed.
At least you didn't do what I did while having a really dark day and wasn't quite thinking straight.Stripped all of my busts on an impulse, That was a year ago and I'm still working my way through repainting them while purchasing more.

Be kind to yourself and remember art in its many forms is great therapy.


Cheers Chris

This is a better place with you in it Ralph.
You are welcome back when you're good and ready.
Your wit and observations have been missed.
Best wishes

Welcome back mate. Glad that the new medication seems to be working.
I have a family situation so I understand the importance of medication management.
Mind you living in Wales is obviously a factor
