Hello, been away for a while, been a bit of a journey, not all of it pretty, although some of it was. Hopefully it's going to be uphill from here on. In short, I got divorced, moved onto a boat, started a business, and are currently managing to keep my head above water. Which I suppose in the current climate, is not to bad.
I've even started a small model ....
Just a little Wolf, to get going again. Will be finished as a Dutch version, with ISAF markings

Welcome back. And in the time you've been away I've still not managed to complete a single model!

Nice to hear from you again Henk and I wish you all the best in your "re-structured" life. Been there and still have some T-shirts left over so don't be a stranger.



cheers

Cheers guys, it's good to see many familiar names still here. Planning on being around a bit again, although I don't think I'll get quite as deep in as I did before. No room for a stash for starters. And I will have to find a way to run my airbrush without needing to run the boat engine ( to supply the electric.. )

Oh, by the way, this is where I live... well, I live in the rear cabin, sharing that space with a Listed SR3 . The front, open, part is where the diesel tank nd coal etc are stored. Not a good winter here to try sell coal though..

@Henk – Henk,

It’s good to hear from you again. Missed you! Was wondering what had happened to you? Your build and boat look good too! Hang in there, I’m cheering for you. I spent 10 years alone after my divorce and now I’m married again. Alone and happy and now married and happier, its been the best and most fulfilling part of my life. Don’t look back, keep your head above the water and enjoy your newfound freedom. You’re a free bird.

May you always soar high above the skies, may you always be blessed, may you dance upon this world with sound mind full of health, joy and laughter, and forever keep thy smile!

~ Eddy

Looks peaceful.
Restructuring life isn't always easy, I hope things will improve Henk !!

I was thinking about building an Armorama Museum, where we could send our finished models, a place where every Armorama member could display their work ... a HUGE warehouse full of cabinets and displays.
Let's cook this idea, shall we ?

Hey Henk! Great to see you here!

Sorry about the recent events but I am hopeful you are right that things can only get better from here on. Btw I think you meant to write 'downhill from here'. At least that is the good way over here as going uphill is a lot of work.

Cheers,
Jim
