excelent stuff mate...you have done in a number of weeks what it has taken me over a year to achieve ! I have no doubt at all that yours will be completed and painted / running before i even get paint back on my hull !!! is she going to be a 5th div carrier ?

if i may offer some very humble advice to a pro......if you are using a gas mig i would turn your reg up or clean the nozzle and feed... only reason i say is the weld on the bulkhead looks like it may need ground out and re done. and folks iam not nitt picking ! the project is fantastic !!!!

I am coming to Suffolk next friday so will be seeing you soon dude

Hi Richie, i welded the bulkhead flat and what you can see is the underside where i was GAP filling. i have to take the bulkhead off and finish the repairs, clean up and drill all the holes. i had to put the top section to get a refference point .

Bring your cover alls ! If the weather is any good we will play with some toys.

Shaun, check your MLU in box,

Richard, When you come down to Suffolk any chance you will be passing through County Durham as I have a couple of carrier front idler wheels there which need bringing down.
