Ohhhhh elbow injuries suck! At least I'm just down one digit...honestly at this point my biggest hassles are masking (well, getting tape off the roll) and mixing paint. But I've found I can wield an airbrush more or less just fine...

Are you implying it was self-inflicted?

...maybe...Back in late '42 I recall that we had several Divisions around Leningrad with such a problem...the seige warfare was too much for many Isuppose and we had a lot of "weapons-cleaning accidents" where landsers took a slug to the calf or thigh and got a ticket back home for a few months...I solved that problem by establishing a convalesence station outside of Riga where the accomodations weren't much better than the front-lines...

Doogs: Good to see you're back up and running. Though if you should have any problems with that 1/32nd Hasegawa Mustang I'll be generous and offer to build it for you. Wink

 

I think we all know the story about General Patton slapping those two GIs suffering from combat fatigue. Don't ask about those 'malingering' soldiers  Manny whacked in the nards with his swagger stick..... Dead

Hmm...

Maybe I'll outsource the Hasegawa now that I'm going to have two big Tamiyastangs...

PS Hope that thumb heals up soon. I've done that a couple of times - last one was when my father in law dropped the sledge on the woodsplitter a little too fast while I was lining up the next log. Came damn close to losing my thumb on that one.
