Hey GARET - PING

Hudson engines progressing well
Banshee progressing even better
Tracker a slow third
HMCS Bonaventure slowed due to above three
red Knight Tutor/T-33  stalled


On the horizon - don't have a clue, too much yard work and local tarvel.

Still working on the monster 1/16 scale Hellcat.  Making cockpit details out of aluminum right now.  I have put all other thoughts on hold, though it is killing me not to get to other models.

Have the older members from the original SMM group been adequately informed and incouraged to transfer their observations, stories and modeling efforts to this new - and great site?

Cliff

Yes they have Cliff, and many have failed to do so. Their loss because this is a fantastic site.

Ray, how is the mine sweeper coming along. I see you on line from time to time. Hope you are well.

Hello Gents.
Well I haven't been doing much of any modeling lately. Working on my own self right now. They finally found
Degenerative disk disease in my lower back and Degenerative arthritis in my spine. I have to say after all these years it's nice that something finally showed up on a test. I have someone that comes in three days a week to help me out. As soon as I am able to find a nice bar stool for my work bench I'll be able to get something done again. Still building the new sites homepage, it will be uploaded hopefully within' a month or two. I had to redo all of the graphics but I just can't sit at the computer for very long.
Thank you all for the well wishes and for keeping things "UP" in my absence.
So I will say that for now all of my models are in the "How am I gonna' ?. . ." stage.

Nice to hear from you and I hope thing get better for you.
