Thanks Martin! All went well, but was a bit more involved than expected and an extra week of recovery will be needed. I hope to heal enough by the weekend to actually get out the Bismarck and get her started. The second and third week of recovery should allow me more time at the bench to really start shaping up my Bismarck. As Jeremy suggested, I will do it in a diorama anchored and recovering some birds. Again, thanks for the well wishes and prayers, they helped and were greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
Dan
