You had some bad luck, man! How could the doc have missed a ruptured lung in the first inspections after the accident?
Get better soon. It's a pitty you have to check out form the contest, but you should do as the doctor ordered.

to staff:
How about awarding a Purple Heart?

Guido

hello Guido,
they found the hole in my lung,but they thought is would heal OK.
as to checking out of the community build,it is up to Mark if i can still do the campaign.i would like to,but i am not sure how much i can get done in the next few months.i have to learn how to breath at 12,000 feet up for the next few weeks.
i do not need a purple heart,i am purple/black/blue already.LOL
cheers,
Bruce

Bruce get well soon and i,m sure you will still be able to complete the build once you are fully recovered. Take care and rest for now still plenty of modelling time later

Hi Bruce!


Listing to port, but still afloat.........

As far as I'm concerned, you're still in the contest, mate, it ain't over 'til it's over....just continue to heal and when it's time, start building/posting updates again...remember, you're only judged by the amount/quality of your progress in each build session, and there are a few entrants besides yourself who have missed a few judging sessions...so keep the steam building!

Cheers,

hello Mark,
i am still upright,with the bilge pumps are running full blast.thank you for letting me stay with the build. but i wish you would let me offer prizes for the Staff build.
with all the staff does to keep MSW running,it cuts into your bench time(and answearing my wierd and dumb questions does not help) and Miss Mary is supporting me in this.
so here is what we want to offer for the prizes for the Staff Build:
by votes best build a $50 gift certificate of the online store of your choice.
for the rest of the builds each a $25 gift certificates each for a online store of your choice.
Miss Mary and I feel very strongly about doing this,i hope you will say yes to this.
cheers,
Bruce

"Build Session 4 closed-Keep Modeling!"

Nice to here your back Bruce

Broken computers and falling trees...I thought models were built here!

Hi Bruce,

Glad you're back! I can't view the pictures, however. is it just me or is there a problem?

Barry

hello all,
there is a problem.after i posted the photo's i moved them to a new folder.i deleted that post and here are the photo's again.




if you cannot see the photo's let me know.at least i got something done on this build.
cheers,
Bruce

hello Chris,
sometimes the real world interferes with our modeling.and some of us will let our friends know what is happening with our lives.so for every post about a build,there is a post about our real lives IE:got a new job,got married,new baby,etc.we share life's happiness and sorrows with our on-line friends.and some moels do get built around all the personal stuff.
cheers,
Bruce

Good looking work Bruce.

Kenny

hello Kenny,
thanks for your kind words.i did screw up,i put the main deck together before i did the turret's.so instead of the turret's being able to turn,i have to glue them on.i cannot get the cap on the bottom of the turret's.there is no room to get them in. .
my fault i jumped ahead of the instructions,and did not think about what i was doing.
this is a good learning experience,think before you glue
cheers,
Bruce

Great to have you back Bruce!
Bummer about the cap..

hello James,
i am glad to be back modeling,my enforced rest period drove Miss Mary up the wall.
yes it is a bummer about the cap,but on the plus side i have not glued my fingers together,yet.
cheers,
Bruce

Unfortunately, Bruce has bowed out of the build due to some recent health problems...I'm going to lock his thread for the time being, if he feels that he would like to try to finish when he's feeling better, we can unlock the thread at that time.
