That's not a rant, and unfortunately, the not caring of people by their families is becoming worse. You're doing the work of someone who loves. You see a person in need, not just need. The best to both of you. 
Good work on your model! I like your style!
I hope things get better for you and your relative. it sucks for a person when their family is not there for them I had to learn the hard way that family isn't always there for you when you need them. Such is life, I guess.
If you need anyone to talk to we're here for you. @zathros is a great guy to talk to, as are @Rhaven Blaack and @Revell-Fan ! Just let us know if you need anything.

I am sorry to hear that. Both you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you, all of you, sincerely. Happy New Year to all, and best wishes.

A little progress on the new build of this 1960 Alvis TD21. Basic structures and dry test fit. I went back to being very basic on this build. Rudimentary shapes of the body components. On the previous build, I tried to represent the valleys between the hood and fenders (bonnet and wings), and between the trunk (boot) and the rear quarters, which gave the car a choppy appearance. Getting back to my raw basic method has smoothed out the overall look, IMO.
Thank you. I am more satisfied with it.This model has much better lines!
The colored paper sheeting is on. The car is British, therefore it must be green. Ornamentation will be added later, then the sub-assemblies will be joined.
I don't know how much work I'll complete tomorrow. It will be my 71st birthday. I might devour a rotisserie chicken and wash it down with wine.

Some of the old plastic promos from the '50s had the foil windows. I once had a PMC '53 Nash that had those.
I will take your suggestion and use plastic for the windows. I have notebook page protectors. It will take some reworking, but there's nothing on the calendar for tomorrow, so I can start it then.
The foil can be chrome for the grille and bumpers.
