Well done Ted! Good to see you back in action.

thanks guys i had a glich in the matrix the last 2 years. My wife of 33 years ran off with a 33 y/o fitness instructor, 2 years ago. since that time after giving up 2/3 rds of my assets etc, i got to keep the modeling stuff and part of my dignity and self worth. I've met and hooked up with a wonderful gal that is into hobbies and we sit at night doing crafts models etc. So the Schnitzler model building facility is up and running again. More to come...

Wow. I hate to hear things like this Ted. It does explain your silence. I am glad you have found a hobby partner!

I always liked your original Guardian build. I don't think the Skyline Guardian was every released. Your new 1/100 Guardian looks great.

You can probably never totally put that sort of hurt behind you, but so glad to hear you've got yourself back on board in a positive direction Ted.

Top marks on the Guardian but if I ever hear my surgeon say he's gonna ''leave the finicky innards out'', I'm outa there!!

My friend!

I'm sorry for what happened, and in addition to admiring your excellent work, I admire your courage to vent something private like this here with us. Feel welcomed, and sometimes it takes a big fall in life so that we can go on the right path and renewed. I'm very happy to have found a person who shares what you like the most too, in this selfish world, things like that are worth more than gold.

Mate, bad times and no doubt. You seem to be coming through this with your head up and dignity intact which is a huge achievement. I hope you can continue to recover from the shock etc. I know you little but thank you for the gems you show here, you lift the spirits of others, very much appreciated.
