Cheers Dadio,
You cant see the swarms of sandflies that come out at some times of the day,
This was the next day at the Blue Lake, Saint Battens, Central Otago light is hard to replicate.

Hand cut a gearbox brace and started to come together.
Replaced all the screws with Stainless cap screws as i was going.
The wing mounts tapped to M2.5 but I'm not sure if I'll keep it as I found the JJ ultima wing kits, and I'm liking the old school wire thing.
See how it pans out.

Trial fitting the front steering spindles and carriers with some lightly RB5 parts i had lying around.

Manobet in France fabricates a brass bulkhead for the Triumph, but there's a reason you PM him for prices, that amazing work he does costs for a reason.
So pretty, and unbelievable craftmanship but not in my budget unfortunately,

Vice grips, a belt sander, dremmel and some patience, Trying something different on the inside of the front bulkhead instead. Certainly not that level,but making do without a CNC. Contemplating using the leftover brass to fit one under the servo if the geometry allows the servo horn and to clear the...

Its good, compared it to the factory shell? (blue in my case), TBG is slightly thicker, but the roll cage pressing is accurate, and the 3-piece wing is accurate too. I also got an undertray and gear cover from team penguin in the UK. I must have got 8 or 10 shells from TBG and always been mint, coul...

That period correct Novak and cells look brilliant.

That's an immaculate job, I agree with your choice in wheels too, looks great.

I have to get off nightshifts, those japanese auction sites are too tempting, and they seem to finish at 3am.
Couldnt resist another Futaba 3PD PCM 1024 set, this one still with box and instructions, the NIcd etc is well past its best, but barely a scratch on it.

UMP silver label Brushed motor, im told its UMP diamond electric power motor. 17 turn, double wind. Never seen one here before, but the seller sent me the details for it. Ill add it to the "next project" list, which really means "ooohhh thats shiny "and sweep the other dozen half...

Same Gentlemen sold me this laser a week after he kindly adjusted the buy now on a Kyosho Rocky.
Both need serious amounts of TLC but they were local and didn't need to pay as much again on shipping.
Not convinced i needed either, but got plenty of bits around to make up a decent runner.

And this is why my kids will inherit nothing but the sad dusty lint from my tumble dryer, Turned up last week as well, an Alesis Electronic drum kit, love this thing, so easy to move around. Still cant play it, but having fun just having a crack, lifes too short not to. A couple of mates and I play ...

And BBQ Repair, somehow? A good friend of mine was dumping this stainless bbq, so i rescued it and over several evenings of podcasts and bourbon, cleaned it up in my shed as a surprise for my lovely lady. Came out great, i expoxy'd new magnets onto the door latches, replaced screws with new stainles...

Port Jackson, Coromandel Region.
New Zealand.
This is a Government department of conservation campsite, nz$10 a night each, cold water showers and composting toilets, but can't beat the views, and a tent site on the beach.
