i am so sorry for not updating this post,
i was an accident that left me with only one hand
i am working out the details of fine art single haned as i continue with my life
the dynamic kit arrived a year ago
i am trying to reinvent the wheel by using devices to hold my work
thankfully my left hand was lost
as i am still able to go hunting

my left hand was crushed under an 11 ton plate of steel=it was weird as i did not feel any pain at all till i looked down to see that the hand was gone
i will bee back on this project soon

Yikes! I hope you can get your life back to normal. I know it can be done..I've seen several spectacular dioramas that were built by a gentleman with a prosthetic arm. I was stunned the first time I saw him accept an award at a show..I couldn't do that well with two fully functional hands!

I'm glad to hear that you are on the upswing to recovery, and it sounds like you have the right 'can do' attitude. Don't sweat the time frame, I'm still working on kits started over 15 years ago and MIGHT finish this Century.

Hang in there buddy and get better at your own pace :drink3:
