Russ, I posted the request on your Severn build (is that what they call a blog? I really am not au fait with all these new fangled things!) I saw you were getting on with the Severn,and thought you might have gone off the tamar? I asked if you wanted to sell it (tamar) as both me and a pal would be interested.if the price was right of course?

Hi Gerard

I used body filler then painted black, I must admit I don't use that method anymore though, I tend to cut a thin piece of rubber and glue it to the end and finely sand the joints now...

Last nights long winded job was to make the mast array, i decided to make the pivotal supports slightly different as I thought the usual method was to fragile to hold the mast, the main structure and vertical mast are brass tube with the supports being 4mm brass bar...

A very neat, tidy & strong soldering job there 6705russell ...congratulations.....

Do you use a gas torch & Bakers [zinc chloride] liquid flux?.....or is that the jar with the name LB-CB...........

Very hard to read from 22,000 kms away.......

Thanks Derek

I use a gas torch and flux paste, a couple of pictures with the mast in situ....

OK....6705russell ....in the build by GGeorge of his tug with all of the mass of brass soldered components.....George acknowledged that he used a zinc chloride liquid type flux

It provides a far more uniform fluidity of the solder at each joint.......just a thought.......

The total sharpness of detail in your build is

Does anyone know where i can obtain a radar motor that is no more than 10mm in depth x 15mm in width? I want to keep it as discreet as possible and there is not a lot of room under the radar base as you can see in the picture....

Thanks

Slow progress this week but managed to finish the stern railings to a point and made up the main rear door hinges, these are bolted through now using 12BA hexagon head bolts, for the railings I used 14BA bolts.
