Thanks Bob!
It's been nearly a week now and I've had a lot of time to reflect on the status of this build.
Obviously until the bandaging comes off and I get to see just how much of the finger is left, no real decision can be made. That should happen in a day or two when I go to a follow up with the surgeon.
The most likely thing is I'll dry dock her for the time being. And as I heal and become adjusted to working with a stump finger try to continue on. I'm sure some of my plans and PE parts will not make it into the finished product, but I will finish it. My grandfather who did work for the railroads lost multiple fingers or parts of fingers and was a avid model railroader so I'm sure I will adapt.
Thanks for hanging in there with me. Believe it or not but I've been fondling a 1/72 Trumpeter EE Lightening the past 2 days, just trying figure out how to start it with one hand.
