I wondered if you'd gobne to ground! Hope I'm an advert for British Power Boats, at least I'm sure Hubert Scott-Paine would appreciate the exposure he was one for active marketing I remember the star wheels my nan used for dressmaking; I don't think they (or even a beefed up version) would make much impression on 0.5mm brass.

I'll have to clean it off and respray with etch primer before the high-build but I'm relieved to see I can have a half decent result. Neil |
