Coming together nicely, Ian.


As Ralph points out , the tape is a nice touch. Just a simple addition like that brought back happy memories when I used the self same 3" black tape to do running repairs on my canoe after I holed it on some rock or other......

Looking real nice Ian.

Ooog, brings back memories.....of being stuck behind these utterly slow beasties on narrow mountain roads! Worse than caravans!


Brilliant work by the way!

That appears to an exercise of patience...

It was very relaxing work. It took longer to cut off the sprues and clean, than to mask
