    Really sorry to hear that you have joined my club Vol. The mask is the same as mine, even down to the filters. It is an encomberance and with my failing eyesight, it can also obstruct what I can see sometimes. Those people who moan about Covid masks have not lived in one of ours for any length of time! Even when finished I have to evacuate the room until the fumes dissipate. I have also noticed that the fumes make my eyes sore. I will now think of your work with even greater respect knowing the trial it is to get a part glued to exactitude, even without the handicap of a mask. All we can be thankful for is that it is not paint which causes the allergic reaction.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    What a bummer for both of you!? My only issue with modeling these days is the cataract surgery that deprived me of getting comfortably close up to the models for detail work. It's just not the same anymore, especially when the implants are for varying focus lengths.

    The quality of your work with these handicaps is even more impressive.
