[ARH]

I found a photo for Jimmy Conway, hope you enjoy it.


I found the build on page 2 , halfway down.

Just read the whole topic... What a build... So detailed description... I think I must save this, it is a modelling seminar...

What about the Helena??? When will we see some of that???

[ARH]

Hi Gary, I will not be posting much for the time being, im feeling the old age comming on, u/k weather, wet and cold, stiffening joints, what was a pleasure is a drag at the moment, my enthusiasm for modelling will return soon I hope.

This is for Herbieham, look at page 3 for the filla process, it will give you a better idea. ARH

Re-visiting ARHs Moffett build perhaps and considering the wealth of good constructional information this could be made a sticky for permanent access on �Scratch Build�. I'm sure many that visit this board value the methodology of Rons builds and it is a completed model from keel to truck as they say. So perhaps Cadman could consider this request.

Thanks for that Gary.

The Admiral is going down the pan slowly,

I have been told that I have aggesive Prostrate Cancer, but arthritus seems to be setting in quickly, I have not built anything in the last 14 months, but im trying to keep positive.

I am waiting for more results in 3 weeks time, hopefully it is good news.

[Greg W]

Hi Admiral,I've enjoyed your craftsmanship alot ever since I found this site. I'm sorry to hear of your health problems and will keep you in my thoughts.Hope you hear some good news Greg W

[Timmy C]

Sad to hear about that, Ron - really do hope that it will pass without too much difficulty!

[johnny canuck]

Sir,

I am very sorry to hear of your condition. I do hope that all will be well. As I have said before, your work was the inspiration for me to start building seriously. (the Dreadnought was the key there...) Your comments and insight have always been welcome and much appreciated.

Again sir, I wish you good news in the future.

[russclark]

very sorry to here you are under the weather ,i have a few friends with prostrate and they seem to have beat it ,a long process though.good luck to you

[Sean Hert]

All my best Ron- you are a fighter, and I am sure you can beat this as well. All my best!

[ARH]

Well Guys, I started my treatment yesterday, the doctor gave me an injection with a harpoon, thats what it looked like, and felt like, this lasts for 12 weeks, good job we have NHS in the uk, it cost �300.00 per injection, so I have These every 12 weeks, it slows down the groath rate of the cancer. Its a hormourn replacement, so I could develope a bust, or so they say.

At the moment I am trying to build up some sort of enthusiam to start building again, but the head cannot get round to it, nor can the body.

Hoping a little further down the line, I might get there, thanks for your replies.

Admiral, I'm so very sorry to hear this. I wish you all the best for the road ahead, I'm sure you'll pull through!
