Thanks Matt for the kind words. I just throw myself in at the deep end and hope for the best.

Had a set back this week with side skirts and canards.

So I too am lurking in the shadows trying to rectify stuff and make it work.

I'm very fortunate I have an understanding wife to be who has her own hobbies but on the plus side we're not under each other's feet all day. It's all about balance. Thankfully she realises I have an odd screw loose and being in the shed keeps my temperament down rather than watching tv and getting cabin fever.

Everybody has the abilities to build something unique. It's just stuff I've picked up over the years. I've been tinkering with stuff for 30 years, but each of my projects are more technically challenging than the next .

See, an example I am human lol.

Didn't put enough wax on the mould, the product lost some gel coat and glass and the mould did the same and remained on the product

I won't make that mistake again lol
