The chips are not flying yet. I did unpack the 1/72 Argus and 1/32 CF-100 but my bench continues to be cluttered with all sorts of things.

  Flycatcher - Bit of a modellers block with the eyesight required to do the rigging.

  Nakajima Ki -27  - Nearly done

Brewster Buffalo Mk1 - At the clip together stage

Caproni CH - 1 - Still stalled but will definitely be finished by years end.

Bristol Blenheim Mk1 - 1/72 - Started cutting out.

Things are a bit slow on the modelling side for the past few weeks. The weather is turning to make the indoor activities a better bet. When I get a bit more underway on the storch I'll post some more pictures.

Just found two 1/48 Mustang Mk I that had completely slipped my mind. They are at the primer stage and need some final sanding before painting.

Took out my knife and hand planner and started work on a WWII ID Plus Twin Engine bomber.  Too early for photos.

After two years of CIDP....chronic inflammatory demylinating  polyneurophy, That took me from a cane to a walker to a wheelchair, i'm walking again...and carving.
I seem to have lost the touch with my knife, motor skills ,but I have a spitfire on the go. Ken Noble has been really helpful in cutting out blanks for me!
When I got this thing (it affects 3 or 4 out of 100,000) I gave away my knives, all but 3, sold all my power stuff....bummer!
Anyhow, standing at the bench I had made in the new wheelchair friendly house for a long time is difficult so it takes me longer to produce carvings.
So, i'm  in remission as there is no cure. hopefully it will last until I'm 100, then I won't care!.....Pete
