Thanks for the stream Bob, sneak peaks at work was quite good, though a little embarrassing when the noise of a cordless drill
emanated  from my headset lying on my desk  as I was talking with my boss :)

MCP is installed. Small steps. Not sure if I am going to hang the overhead or cover the shell this weekend... We will see...

Bob Reed

So here is the picture from tonight's work. Was not hard but took a little while.

Another milestone come and gone... The overhead is hung. I want to start bringing it to life tonight.. And I might.. We will see...... But it is where it belongs.

Strong Work Bob!  Now come the fun of hooking up power and testing!

Being a trained steelworker I know first hand the simplicity of constructing a shell structure with light steel tubing and a Mig welder. To do the same in timber with all those compound angles and joins to create is really quite an achievement - well done boys. I know you can't weld up your errors like I do!! Cheers Gwyn

Oh you would be surprised how you can fix mistakes! Ray and Don did an excellent job. I could not be happier!

So a little more done on the over head tonight. Nothing worth a pic. Tomorrow night I may fly the "Milk Run" we will see.

Bob Reed

Another milestone tonight. My first complete flight... Was the KSRQ to KTPA. The glorious "Milk Run!" Someone out there knows what I am talking about!!

Bob Reed

Going live as I work on the overhead.. Don't expect much it is just a live stream of what is going on....

So today I will start painting. Yes I am finally going to paint one of my sims. So to do that I need to undo all I have done! lol Oh well going to be a much improved sim..... Pics to follow and I will probably stream the work once I get started.

Bob Reed

Ok I am streaming. Slow start but hay...

Come and see.....

Bob Reed

So I spent the day with my brother painting the sim. Took us a lot less time than I thought it would. So tomorrow I hope to start putting it back together. Here are a couple of pictures as to how it all turned out:

Amazing what a little paint does for the looks...
