Hey Jerry - yes, I realize that your last post wasn't that long ago, and that in addition to the 1/35 world, there is the 1:1 world....nonetheless, I wonder...any updates? Your prolific updates keep me inspired!! Hope all is well!

Cheers
Nick

Excellent work Jerry , I work for a school district with 6 schools , one a high school and another a middle school the rest elementary .
Aaaaaaand its graduation time , plus my son graduates this year , so needless to say I'm extremely busy on the life side so I can more than understand your busy time in the real world .

The upside to that is the next slow period and plenty of bench time , oh it's comin ............

Hate it when the 1:1 side of life throws a monkey wrench into the 1/35 world projects, especially when it involves pain. I know what you mean about the knees - I have to regrout the upstairs bathroom floor at some point but I'm not looking forward to it. I hope you get the drywall situation sorted out, I pulled down paneling in the playroom to find drywall underneath; only problem was that they used the 16x16 inch patches instead of sheets and didn't tape the seams... that was not a fun project.

Jerry is this representing the 9th and 12th Army and their break out from Berlin to the Elbe?

Thanks for the moral support there John. I appreciate it brother. I am in the modelers' doldrums right now and haven't been at my bench since the end of May or there-abouts. I looked the projects that I had going and can't find the gumption to get back on them at all. Maybe as my knees and back,etc,recover more I will have an improved outlook. All the intense nonsense going on in the news right now isn't helping much either. I pray for my poor country.
Maybe a more pastoral,diversionary build will help. Have to give it some thought.
But then again,did anyone notice I was gone? heheheh

We all notice when you're gone Jerry, but it's obvious that life south of the border is equally as involved as life on the north side of the 49th.... And we totally understand, and sympathize with you and your 1:1 scale projects getting you away from the bench of solitude. Been there. Still there. Except in my case it's been mostly work, work and more work. And breaking a toilet, while repairing it...that didn't go as well as I'd planned:|

I too pray for your country, and mine, and hope that cooler heads will prevail, and that we realize that "All Lives Matter", and that just below the color of our skin we are all the same, part of the same Human Race.

Hope you feel strong enough to finish your Reno soon, so you can get back to entertaining us all her in cyberspace with your incredible talents and skills...

Thanks Dave,for the kind words of understanding. The bathroom has been done already about 2 weeks now. I just keep going down to the dungeon and looking at the hobby stuff and then walking away.

Nice work Jerry , he looks like a zoomie to me .

Your harmonica player looks great, as usual, Brother. Hard to believe you've never done a Luftwaffe uniform, but you'd definitely know if you'd ever done one or not. Ya know, the good thing about this hobby things do keep, and the mojo comes back eventually.
