Update.
Are you all awake!!! Seems like forever since I put something on here.
First, welcome one and all to the sleep in, this is going to be a slow one to start with.
I explained in my last update that I was going to rebuild the stowage lockers and basket - well I decided to also build the 'A' frame at the back and after research the 'pistons???' are actually round wooden blocks. I also decided I might as well go the whole hog and not try to undo the slight twist and bend in the frame so that has had the treatment as well. Work so far....
Here are the stowage bins and basket for one side plus the centre beam..
...WIP the tow cable stowage and underside framing...
And a dry fit to see how it is all progressing.
Cheers
Mike.

Certainly is Lee.:smiling3:
Thanks John! I can always count you.
Another class build in progress!
Update.
The centre beam is now complete...
The problem with the kit offering was bent and twist over the length and with the small parts a bit on the delicate side I decided not to risk the heat method...
As you can see from this view...
And a couple of close ups...
And the right side stowage bins are now attached and waiting for the other tow cable 'box' to be completed and the final details added.
A bit blurred - better pic later.
