Actually feeling quite let down after all Mondays build up.![]()
But - there was fun to be had! I dozed off during the procedure (took about 30 mins), got woken up by the lady operating the scanner thingy to find the doc who performed the procedure giving me the evil eye before saying in a VERY offended tone of voice "You SNORED throughout the whole procedure".![]()
Then whilst waiting for a bed to be found and wheeled in (they wouldn't let me walk) I was watching the nurse cleaning up all the protective sheets. She saw me watching and asked whether it bothered me seeing that amount of blood. Her face when I replied " No. Lost more than that in one go before now" was priceless....

Anyways - home now and clearing the bench ready for the Figure build!!!

Well, I have one I want to do. But I am still bogged down with my Phantom and P61. And add to that I now have the Wuhan, so I wont be doing much at the bench for a while.
But this is the kit...
