I’ve seen what Brian Daniels did to make one...too much work for me. I just have to keep on at Ben at Heljan to do one. He keeps mentioning 33/1 but less desirable to me, but he says there’s not been any requests for any other than the standard Crompton’s Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnaby Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Some intense building there Ian but there is only one way and that is the right way, well done looking very good. I notice your weather made our local weather forecast showing sandstorms and big surfers. As you may remember I lived up the coast from you at Scarboro for some 10 years and don't recall ever having any weather like that. I must have got out just in time to miss the once every 10 years occurrence of this bad weather. Regards Stay safe . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the version I wanted and will convert mine if needs be but if they do a 33/1 its an excuse to buy another! Paul R Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
