"As I've bored you all before with my 48DS builds..."

Personally, I would use the word enlightened, anyway, could you possibly bore us again in as much detail as you are able? - pics - diags - whatever - particularly on what techniques/former you use to roll the bonnet...

I have 2 of these to start before the Judith Edge kit turns up

Many Thanks - GRW184

Perfect - Thanks Halfwit - now to damage some brass!

"I need to make the wooden groynes for the beach and it is hard trying to work out what I can use..."

just some ideas I am using for the S&B terminus at Porlock Wier:

1. Cocktail sticks - cut to length and glued together vertically over a couple of lengths of 1 or 2mm stripwood runner - or a piece of 2 below split down the middle

2. I recycle the most amazing junk - cheap bamboo 'venetian type' blinds are often made from around 2mm dia. bamboo rod - I am using this as a free alternative to 1. - I've got many miles of groyne out of 1 broken blind bought from the bargain bin at a homecare center

3. Ply sleeper strip. again cut to length and glued vertically over 1 or 2mm stripwood runner - leave a slight gap between the uprights and simulate the 'chair bolt' holes with a pin! or for the masochist - use Grandt Line nuts & bolts

all dyed with light grey ink to let the wood show through

Just a thiught
