Karl

Hope all is well with you.

Been looking in but not seen as many posts from you these days and was hoping all is well with you (guess your over loaded with builds)

Your cracking on well with this one - it's going to look a top job when complete.

Enjoy your builds

Tony

Happy Modelling

Karl, I had the flu also last week. It took me by surprise. We had a heat wave in Cape Town and next thing the flu bug crept into me and I am out on my back.

Its great to have you back again. Your SotS is looking fantastic.

the pic with the mug is put on top of the parapit(fighting top)because the supports are angled the take the weight.and you get a good tight fit. the last pick is of the main mast 10mm.tapering down to 8mm.
