Thanks Ian, Colin,
I was just so surprised to see how quickly I deteriorated in the space of an hour, and watching blisters forming on my finger tips (whilst fascinating) was worrying! The weird thing is that I felt brilliant all the time until that first shiver at 8pm on the Wednesday night.
Everything is clearing up remarkably quickly and the contagious stage with the blisters has long gone- thankfully.
WRT HMS Scorpion I’m not sure what scale yet, love to match the Fleet I’ve got building, access has to play a part... I’ve still got to find plans yet... some good GA in Norman Friedman’s book British Destroyers but no body sections.
