Thanks for all the kind words guys, means a lot. The condition is simply one of the many challenges we face as a part of growing old and one I have to accept. What the future holds I've no idea but I do know I'll keep trying to build and see where it takes me. Thanks again guys, your support over the years has been magnificent.....  Regards Alan

Hi Alan, I had noticed that you were not posting so much just recently and thought that you were even more involved with the Forum, but to read that you are suffering from health issues completely floored me, you have shown us all how it should be done along with words of encouragement to fit all of our builds and boosted our morale, this was all done silently, this I take my hat off to you. All of your builds fit in the Master Class category, and all though you may have finished with the large builds it will be nice to see smaller builds with a smaller diary if possible. Alan, I wish you well. Kind Regards Trev Work in progress: Tombstone (Scratch) - San Francisco 2. -The Mayflower ( scratch by plan).

Hi Alan,
I echo all of the above comments re your health problems.
You have indeed been a massive inspiration to all of us (both privately and publicly here on this forum) and I can only wish that an answer can be found to your condition. Stay safe.
Kind Regards
Chris

I hope that you will continue with your modelling Alan and I get that it is very difficult with an uncontrollable tremor, but just remember that although the tremor will make it harder to do the smaller detailed work, it may not yet be at the stage to stop you modelling completely. Why not try building something less detailed with just a few bigger more basic parts that will allow you to continue enjoying something which has brought you a lot of happiness in the past?
Modelling doesn't have to be about achieving a supremely detailed and accurate model at the end of every build? It's more about the fun of putting something together and enjoying the process. Regardless of what it looks like at the end?
So go for it Alan, just continue to have some fun as long as you can by sticking a few bits together for your own enjoyment and if you don't feel it's good enough to show anybody else then so what, don't show it - just build for yourself!?
All the best mate and take care.
