Terry1954 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Just had a massive catch up and can see that Swordfish is coming along beautifully Chris. Your invisible thread tightening technique, using a soldering iron, sent a few shivvers through my bones (a sort of reverse pun there) at the thought of being so close to all that plastic! You must have very steady hands. Terry 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very quick too!!! 47 minutes ago, AliGauld said: Looking good. I am really enjoying this.
