So... Jon !    in short ???   Are you going to finish the Model and the Base later ???   or are they integral to each-other ?  

You have put in so much time and dedication in this already !!!   You must be so close to finishing it ???

I understand you have other priorities...    which are above all, more pressing than a model !!!

I wouldn't want Miss Scalemodelmedic unhappy with you !

Best of luck with what you decide is best !   we will be here watching and learning from you !!!

All the best to you and your loved one !!!   Cheers !

Norm.
