Caught up now and that’s some super progress you’ve made there despite your sitting issue!
I’m sure I’ve a Russian figure in the spares box if you need it , just let me know.

Marco, Duke, Joe, Tommy, Ian, Pete and Paul
Thanks once again guys, really appreciate the feedback and well wishes.
Boots....modellers arse  It’s bloody agony and goes from my hip/ groin area all the way down to my calf, constant waves of pain. Sitting hurts, standing hurts. The exercises I was given last time it flared up seem to make it worse....I wish it would bugger off! 
Steve....Very kind of you to offer a figure mate, I’m sure I’ve got something somewhere though 
Well I’ve done absolutely diddly squit on this other than knock it over and damage the suspension again!!
All fixable luckily enough. Hope to make some progress soon.
Thanks again my modelling muckers

That is feckin` bootiful fella.........told ya you`d blow them others outta the water  As for the sciatic pain..........that`s EXACTLY what i`ve been suffering with this past few weeks........hence nothing done coz too bloody uncomfortable  ...........maybe we should re-name it `Modellers Arse` being as two of us are in the same boat 
Make that three of us. I've had it for most of a month too.
Suspension break again huh? Almost sounds like a 1/72 scale Roden bus kit!

Have barely been anywhere near the bench….still no better, in fact worse  !
Doc is arranging an X-ray and blood tests but that could be a while!!
Felt I ought to get the last few bits done done and I wanted a few items dotted about to add interest, so having a go at making a bucket.
I got a PE set for buckets for using as a stencil to roll my own from copper sheet….made one of each type but prefer the shorter one.
I’ve made two lugs to mount the handle to….they are in the milk bottle top.
So that my entire month of modelling…. Maybe more next month! |

Hope you feel better soon Si. Hopefully, the doctor can help more once you've had the blood test and X-ray results back.
The buckets look rather nice.

Nice modeling work so far. And as everyone said, take care of yourself and don't worry about us. We will all still be here when you finally recover. Sen ding prayers up that your recovery is swift and complete.

Finally generated enough mojo to slide my butt to the bench and tackle the final bits of the refueller. A lot less then I though but still time consuming. Made a bracket up for the rear bumper to hang the bucket, added lights, wing mirror, microscopic windscreen Wiper and spare wheel. My first attempt at dirty windows and the wiper marks. And I think I can call this one done. Here be some pictures then…..     
An enjoyable build if not a bit tricky in places. Thanks for all the great support along the way chaps |
