Hi all,
I thought i'd better tell you all that i've not been doing much modeling lately even though i've just finished this diorama.
i've got a serious bad back, Well several weeks ago back in June the pain got that bad my brain shut down and i nearly died.
My spine trapped my Sciatica Nerve and i've lost the use of my left leg and the pain was that bad i couldn't take anymore and was rushed into Hospital.
While i was there i saw an old man 'pass away' which wasn't very nice at all and it brought memories back of when my father died.
Back in March i had 2 Seizures in which i ended up in Hospital for two days and lost some of my memory
and was allowed out and i got alot of my memory back, only for me to have 7 seizures in the middle of June and ended back in Hospital this time on a life support machine for 2 days and was kept in Hospital for a week. This time when i got out i had completely lost my memory i didn't even knew where i lived nor did i know i had 2 kids and a wife
I couldn't understand where all the models had come from and when i was told i made them i was shocked at this !, I didn't know how to use a PC nor use a paint brush but after looking at the forums i go on, kindly shown by my son, i then realised i did make them after all 8)
It didn't take me long to learn how to use a brush again and the wife shown me the unfinished Diorama which was about 3/4 finished and with the help/advice from the wife i'm starting to re-gain my memory back, Not all of it yet as i'm typing with 1 finger and struggling to spell words correctly. If i can't get back into modeling i might have to give up, I've lost about 10-15yrs of my memory, infact i can really only remember upto 1988.
Anyway enough of me ! heres my Diorama......
Some might think i've over done it but remember that this would be a small part of the base and out of view would be 'lollie pops' and more 'peri tracks'. Note the two bofors guns checking out the skies looking for enemy planes,a group of ground crew having a kick about with a ball with a few on lookers, a AEC re-fueler being driven by a groundcrew who can't be doing with waiting for the convoy to go by so he goes onto the grass in turn 'ripping' the grass up !, a Coles crane lowering a front turret onto some pallets and being 'steadied' by two crew men, a Queen mary had a puncture and was changed by two crew members and they are being over looked by a sexy WAAF, as on many RAF bases the crew members relied on their bikes which a dotted around !
Have a good look around at and see what you can spot !, it will sure make you smile i do
