Fury?
- Thread starter Grumpa
- Start date
While not really trying to reproduce a "Fury" at all my little grand daughter came running up to the bench to
give Gampa a big hug, she looked down a the Sherman and said "cool! you makin a Fury?
All I could say after looking at that chubby cheeked smile was " er-ah...sure!"

No worries my friend, she is a smart little thing and knows what is reality and what is not.
Besides, her version of "watching" it amounted to her running around most of the time and
only kinda "watching it" when asked to sit still for a minute or two. She was much more interested
in the drama unfolding in the kitchen with something having to do with bananas I think. The only reason why she knows anything
about tanks is because her father and her gampa are armorphiles and been building models and watching documentaries, reading books
etc...and so on all of her little life.
So rest assured that she is not being exposed to any age inappropriate content containing violence or anything
else for that matter. But I do thank you for your kind concern.
Jim.

Thank you my friend, I have 6 granddaughters ranging in age from 22 to 7 years old and all are well adjusted and
have always through out the years been protected from any kind of inappropriate media content, behavior, language
and anything else within our abilities to do so and continue to do so.
No one can protect everyone from everything, all we can do is our best at all times and pray all is well with
our Angels. There is no end to worries because the world basically sucks.
Luckily where we reside is rural / wilderness and our little communities are very tight knit.
The big cities are an anathema to us, and luckily far way. But one must always be vigilant.
My modeling style has been described at times as dark and morbid and combined with my efforts to make them look as realistic
as I can has put some off their tea, (see last pic) but the last thing I want is to shock or offend anyone.
My subject matter does at times depict the naked horrors of war, but did they not exist? and do they not still exist to
this day?
Lest we ever forget these horrors then we are doomed to repeat them over and over again.
Many military modelers are also quite well informed amateur historians so they know the deal, I just try tear away
the curtain of sterilization.
All The Best Always to you and yours
Jim.

What is most important in life is to live happily and to never forget that your wife is a gift that many a lonely man
would give everything he has to be so blessed. Don't be sad be GLAD!

You are so right my friend, at this time I am debilitated by an "angry nerve" in my right calf. Pain like I've never felt before, I mean
crawling on my hands and knees to the toilet pain.
Of course I'm pumped up on pain meds which has caused 'edema' (swelling-water build up') in both feet and calves.
I don't know what's coming next! In the mean time I can't walk, this has been going on now for five weeks.
I'm feeling as I am going to lose my bloody mind if I can't get mobile again!
Which means I am driving my poor wife crazy with my ranting and raving. After making her literally cry one night because
she felt so helpless to help me and seeing me in such pain just broke her down.
I'm sequestered to the family room sofa and YOUTUBE, she waits on me hand and foot, and never complains though she has
her own health issues too and not minor ones either.
She absolutely has unconditionally loved me for nearly fifty years now though in all this time I still can't figure out why.
She has stood by me while I resigned from a six figure govt position to move lock stock and barrel to a "mountain"
that no one ever knew existed till we bought it thirty years ago. Me and my two teen age sons at the time along with some new
friends hand built our first house and as the years passed and the boys grew up we eventually built two more homes.
We are loggers and a firewood supplier for the locals....a very tough profession and only rodeo cowboys get more injuries
So a wise elderly eastern European man that I worked with once told me your wife is the most important person in the world
to you, not your kids, not your mum but your wife.
All the best to you and your wonderful wife,
Jim.
