A little update

It's been a while, witha lot of personal stuff - holidays, etc but it's now time to knuckle down and make progress ready for Invasion Colchester on 6th September.
The skins have been drilled and screwed onto the frame and considerably strengthens the frame. While these were on, I dabbled with the hinges - there is going to be several bits of frame to cut out to accomodate them. Improvise, adapt, overcome will ensure the frame retains the strength.
A look at the dome motor mount  has resulted in an idea, but will require raising the dome support ring as it will hit the dome wheel.

The holes and brackets to strengthen the shoulders have been done. And the top section will support the power feed for the dome.













The bread pans have been drilled and ready to screw to the frame, again these will require bits removed due to the hinges.

Just got to forget about the TV and go in the DMW every evening, but it feels like it won't be long now till it's done.
