I'd like to offer my sincere condolences to you and your family. I will raise my glass in honour of your father tonight.

Warmest regards,

Very sorry to hear the news. I felt the same way about my Dad, he died at a similar age, 62, it knocks you out. But like you, I have really wonderful memories and really wonderful friends. I shall raise my glass as well.

Wishing you the best.

Wojtek produced few designs, and i have to decie which i will use. No doubt it is some challenge to solder them together.

siara' are those the insulators for the wireless . they sure do look small . might have to beef them up a bit ladd . but then again at that scale who the f--k could tell anyway . in any event they will finish the boat off good . i want to thank you and the ladds again for your kind words . i will get back to the shipyard as soon as i feel better . take care and will talk to you soon . :)

Im still getting to grips with my new camera, and the shots are not as good as they can be.


I used the 0,125 mm for test shot, but in the end i will make all the rigging using the braid called Dacron.
Good thing about insulators made from the Green Stuff is, that it is of the right color already. No need to paint. ;D

Bill- this is just the test fit, to see if the grooves are cut correctly. For final rigging i will be useing the thread called Dacron- really thin, and subtle fishing braid. (I use the stuff to tie the carp rigs, when im carp fishing.)
If you just wondering what thickness the wire is- it is 0,125mm. ;)
