Heuschrecke IVb, "Grasshopper"
Posted: 01 Jan 2017, 08:40
Morning all,
As a preamble to the 2017 GB, a little background.
The past 3 months have been tough, culminating with Anna being hospitalized for 10 days.
2017 has arrived and Anna is now scheduled for corrective surgery for her intestinal issues.
She will have 6 to 9 inches of intestine removed by key hole surgery, but it is low risk and will be a "cure" for her abdominal issues, the surgeons believe.
I have been travelling longer and working more hours which has totally sapped the building "mojo" completely.
I even packed away my desk and turned it into an indoor garden!
The smaller twin amaryllis flowered on Christmas day
From garden to grasshopper, a really bad segway
I shall attempt to build the following into something presentable in the next 6 months
I was hoping to build straight OOTB
But after some research, even that was severely undermined by what is now diagnosed as S.A.D.
I found out the Dragon kit was most likely researched on the Aberdeen proving grounds example, so there is no lifting gear, cogs, gears, chains and all the other "stuff"
The trumpeter version has these items, but no interior!
What a dilemma, as I have the Dragon kit, the only solution is
So, the players, the plan, just need the ummph to get started
More soon?
Hopefully!
I shall be making every effort to get back to being a more interactive presence here at PA in 2017.
Who will be next with their GB?
Happy New year to one and all.
Regards
Steve H
