Hi Chris;
I spent a month to get into my normal life according to a chart supplied by the doctor,that showed when to be available
for watching TV,washing a face,driving a car,etc....final was the swimming to wait longer than one month.


Follow the instructions by chart and the doctor in charge precisely as you do on your model ship builds.!!

CHEERS Bob i wonder if i will have to have a test ? as i can see lovley

Chris if it was only one eye operated on for cataracts, you do not have to report, mine was more serious as it was a hole in the eye and as I wanted a D1 licence back I had to do the extra test.
Thought you might like this shot

Good news Chris, looking at last photo I sent the frame work on theStarboard hangar door is not something you need to worry about, its all thats left from boarding it up after the door was removed to be fitted on Blake

That's awefully good of her, I'm sure.shes doing a great job!
There's slow progress on the type 22. Doesn't look much different, but I'm slowly working my way through fitting the stanchions and fittings. I haven't put any photos up because at the moment it doesn't look much different. But I'm hoping to have it completed by early April... Ready for the next build

HI DAN  yes she's a good wife certainly picked the right one an dont mean to be nosey but are you married yet ?  an ok its slow goin on the 22  but you will get it done as you are doin a very nice job of her an exscuse me for asking but whats the next build ?
ATB CHRIS

[Dan]

Not nosey at all mate, I'm not married yet, but do live and have a young baby with my partner Shannen. She's tolerates the models.. just   


I've narrowed it down to two. HMS Invincible in 1:96, or HMS Tyne in 1:48. I was originally planning on doing something 1:72nd scale, but Invincible at 1:96 is just over 200cm, plenty big enough for me, and it'll match the scale of the type 22 when it's done. Id have to do it in two halves though for transport purposes. Something I'll be re-reading on your build threads when the time comes

PART TWO  OF TIGER BUILD 
Well im back on tiger build after eye op but takin it easy an my wife jen is helping me
an as i had wireing failure on the first attempt ive reworked all 44 wires in the D-connector with stronger wires an this was just before my eye op

but its all done an had just two wires get conneckted togeather by solder when wireing the H/J plug so ive turned them too one wire to carry power an here the new wires just laid out so ready to begin again when my eye is better
https://ibb.co/82VGVL0

[frogman3]

So next i thought id wire in the sound whooper as i  made this ready months ago an so i dont strain my eye doin fiddley soldering as jen has done some for me to see me through till i can do it
so here is the unit laid out ready to fit an spk
https://ibb.co/YZkBFdg

[frogman3]

AN here spk installed an wired up by a simple plug in system
https://ibb.co/GPGxXy5

[frogman3]
