chukw

Sorry to hear about your puppy's health problems. We get to love these little guys as much as a family member and we hate to see them get sick. All they have for us is unconditional love. Our Buddy and Coco (Lab and Bichon) are sending their happy wags Dyna's way for a quick recovery.

Fantastic job on the 410 so please keep posting an incredible build.

Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!

Hi Chuk,

Sorry to hear about Dynamite's medical woes. I'm a dog lover, too. The hardest thing I've ever had to do was put our 14 yr old black lab to sleep a couple years ago. He was the best dog in the world. Hang in there Dynamite, we're pulling for you.

Great upate too, I love the swimsuits. German girls really know how to wear them.

Chuk, sorry to hear about your dog. Pets are so much a part of the family. I lost a cat after 14 years last winter. Would have made it a few more if it wasn't for the cancer. I've also got a German Shepard who's middle aged. Hope your buddy gets better in a hurry!

Plane looks great. Glad you aren't covering up that nice motor!

You guys couldn't rock any harder- thanks!

We've had a tough week- or dear bulldog Dynamite had to have some pretty serious surgery to have her infection-ravaged ear canals removed. Scary enough, but a bad drug reaction, breathing complications, runaway temperatures and additional surgery took us to the emergency vet late Friday. We got her there just in the nick of time, and she stayed there till this morning when we brought her home. She's doing okay but will need a lot of nursing and attention to get her back to her loving self. Here's a pic of her with shaved fur, stitches and drains- poor puppy! Send your good vibes our way- she can sure use 'em!

I burned up a lot of nervous energy while waiting by attacking the plastic- I'll let the girls take it from here.

Sorry to have been missing in action for so long, but a man's got to do what a man's got to do. Things are okay, just really busy. Thanks for your patience, kameraden! Let's get on with it, shall we, Fritzi?

As a sidebar--

Jim, I saw your previous post and your mention about the cotton swabs. I wanted to add a caution: If you're going to use them with any kind of solvents, like acetone, I'd recommend getting the equally cheap generic swabs with the rolled paper shafts. Acetone might start to soften and dissolve plastic ones, while you're working with them.

Of course, you can be like me, and dip a swab right into the can of acetone, and let it drop by mistake. So now, my can of acetone has been diluted slightly by cotton and rolled paper, D'OH!
