I am feeling a bit crappy so I decided to follow the Governments advise and self isolate myself in the workshop.

I finished the lining panels along the inside of the hull and made the box for storing the radio operators head set, other than that there nothing to report.

Well, I finally got my arse into gear and cast the first tyre on the return roller. It went fairly well, the only problem being that it was quite hard to free from the mould. I used a silicon release agent and as I couldn't get the roller to release from the base I ran a stanely knife around it, which scuffed the face but not badly and I can tidy it up, so no problem really. I spoke to the supplier today and they suggested using Vaseline, so I have used that on the one currently in the mould.
