I used to suffer real bad with them Paul, at least three a month, once I had two in the same day. It feels like you have a bad hangover afterwards, horrible things. Only get one or two a year now

I wish you get better soon Ian. I suffered from headaches with aura (light sensations) for 6 months. It must have been stress related. I feel better now things are coming together slowly.

Sorry to hear about your Migraine problem, they are a nightmare!
10 parts in a 1/700 radar tower would send me potty too, nicely done buddy

Right the reason I've dragged this one out is, I was losing the will to live getting this hull looking anything like decent.
Cast your minds back and you'll remember how much filler was needed. The filler I used was Humbrol and it set like concrete. Anyway the third time of rubbing down and priming and it actually looks half decent now.
This came close to going in the bin, but all is good now

Your hard work will be worth it in the end as this will be a beautiful ship model. The Spruances really were a great looking class of destroyer. Its a shame most of them were sunk as targets or to be artificial reefs.
Best wishes,
Ian

I`ve seen footage somewhere of T55`s being tipped off the back of a ship to be used as coral/artificial reef conservation

I`ve seen footage somewhere of T55`s being tipped off the back of a ship to be used as coral/artificial reef conservation  Not surprised, especially since Russia made 11,000,000,000,000,000 T-55 tanks.ππ Regards, Ian
