Ouch!!! Healing thoughts Brian. Hope that doesn't keep you away from the bench too long!!!
Chris........throbbing yes mate you could say and Doug hopefully not too long
Brian to be awarded a virtual CDM for duties above and beyond modelling!!! 
I beg to differ Bri. A good modeller is not someone that can stick a few perfectly formed parts together. It is someone that can take a few bent, warped, badly shaped bits and make them fit. To a high standard to boot.
Very good progress Brian. Very neat and organised.
Eight stitches! What did you cut it with an axe.
Ouch! Hope it's healing quick and you are not suffering to much.

Ian not very clever of me cutting towards me slipped off the plastic and went in half the thickness of my thumb and went a good 2.5cm down my thumb a nice chunky flap :smiling3: 8 small stiches in a semi circle
P.S. stopped throbbing but a pain to get a shower
The shine might be wearing off for you, but from where I’m sitting that is polishing up really well Brian. Looks fantastic.
As to the cut finger, ouch! Something most of us have done, but not that successfully! Most cuts just get stuck together with steri strips so that one must be deep. To get a shower without it getting wet, by the way, wrap it in clingfilm or tape the finger from a rubber glove over it with waterproof sticking plaster strapping.

Not a lot to see
Hope the thumb is healing OK. The lengths some people will got to to get out of present wrapping and Christmas Day washing up.
Victory is looking great.

The thumb is healing fine thanks, got a dish washer (the wife) and done a bit more before the grand kids come around for Christmas dinner
Needs touching up in places
Looking very, very good. Feel better knowing I'm not the only one cramming before armageddon starts, eh before the lovely children arrive.
Finally finished the aft panel took best part of a week mainly due to my thumb incident.
Thats taking shape very well indeed:thumb2:
Being extra careful this is what I was doing when the thumb incident happened.
