Hello, Gaz! What a beautiful Albatros you have: excellent work! Good luck to you with your medical procedure. I'm sure that you will be up and about, and back to modelling, in short time!  8)
Cheers!

Thank you everyone for the good-wishes and positive comments about the Albatros.  So far I'm healing up alright with no bad after effects from the surgery. 

I'd rather be rigging, though.

Excellent work, looks really good. It's all come together really well.

Now I really am copying you. Not only do I have the same Albatros on the go, I am having hernia surgery on July 26th! Best of luck with the op. I plan to use my recovery time for modelling (as it's a great excuse for not doing decorating/gardening.....).

Thank you fellas!

I'm healing well after the surgery, but I'll tell you the hardest thing...  Picking up dropped stuff.   I have a pair of long barbecue tongs:

that I have been using for large parts.  I haven't been rigging because I dread dropping and trying to find any Bob's Buckles eyelets or tubes.  But in a few days I think I'm going to start.

Tomorrow, the missus and I are having a few days away from home as a little getaway.

Hope everything goes well for you, Nigel.

Best of luck!

Take your time to get well, Gaz, I wish you a problem free recovery. And that Albatros is and stays a beauty, if you rig her next week or next month

Better get me some of them. This is my second hernia op, so I know what to expect!

Thank you for the praise and well-wishes everyone!
Nigel, a white towel in the lap will help, too.
