Looking great Splash - that liquid gravity is good stuff - I use it a lot too.

A bout of man flue has given me some unexpected bench time, I have masked up the canopy and will sprey over the frames first with black as the inside colour followed by grey and green.

Looking smashing. I had a diecast Gazelle as a nipper and fell in love with it. It's a beautiful chopper.

I have tried parafilm for the first time and found once you master the knack of stretching it, it works fine and is easy to use.

Hi Al,

Any more progress to report? I'm wanting to see the Tinny-Winny finished.
