Hi there, thanks for all the comments guy's  .... been a bit slack on posting, I actually finished her off 2 days ago, but first up these photo's are of the beam trawl gear, the beam , made from brass & s.s chain , with the net took a bit longer than expected after I had the bottom panel with side panels hung onto the ground line I wasn't happy with it so discarded it and started again, with the ground chains went with the grid idea ( probably should have made the looped chain idea (as we would call them variety of tickle chains ,,quicker ? ) as it took about 1.5 days to make the first chain grid up the second was quicker as already opened enough split links for the second net ( but any way any seasoned ex beamer fisherman will probably say its wrong ???? )  . Cheers  .......

Hi Mark, could only imagine the hours you have put into this incredible build  .

Hi bit of a long shot but anyone know of the type / size  etc of the bulb that screws into the lamp of the vision engineering mill plant ,regards Allan

Thanks Fred, it was inspired by one of photos you sent me. This profile I found from local supplier was just perfect.

Hi all, I get the daily Newsletter from CNN (US TV News).  This is the sickest quote I have seen for years.
Trump’s election also drove up shares of private prison stocks as investors expected looming immigration crackdowns would drive up demand for detention facilities. Roy

I guess we should steer clear of political stuff - but some of Trump's words and actions (and those of his cronies) are so extraordinary that they transcend political debate and move well into the mental health debate. He is the exact dictionary definition of a psycopath. 

The additions have glued well and strongly and so I've sanded them with 80 grit to take and hold the filler in place, ready for sanding later today for a nice smooth finish.




I shall leave a couple of hours for it to cure before sanding it all to a smooth finish.




The filler I have used is called DOLFIN GLAZE  and is a quick action with about 7 minutes max to mix and get it to where it is going before it starts going off. But it sands very nice and smooth to the finish.

You're welcome, Arno.!

Looking great, thanks for sharing

Top of the aft mast made, to keep the top weight down I made this using 3.8mm plastic rod the added plastic tube for the antenna heads. These were machined to shape. The final bit to be added is the top aerial which I’ll make using fine copper wire.
