Thanks - I just sit down and do a bit when I can! And as I work from home ... :whistle: But mind you, some nights I have to be told to stop! :wooo: Depends on how infuriated or enthralled I happen to be at the time! :lol:

And of course, how many clamps I have, that I am using ... :mental:

Tonight I have been mostly masking. :( Don't actually know if I like or dislike it :blink:
Anyway, here it is for today - and it's not finished yet :hypnotised:

Thanks Mike!

Tonight I have been trying to improve the air intake guards ... now the thing is that I thought I could do this with the existing clear parts :hypnotised: and I think I've managed to make a better fist than the moulded parts, but when you consider these are only about 1/2 an inch long, I don't think I could do much apart from try.

Rather an awful picture, but I will try and remember to take another in daylight.

I cut the "middles" out and replaced with some plastic mesh, left over from the Wessex I think, glued on with cyano, using my new BF the kicker :wub:

Slightly better picture (even out of focus!) of the finished carve up - next they need painting!
