You should be proud of those lights Simon, all 3 of them. They’re very impressive.

So we are closed at the shop for a few weeks due to "that which shall not be named." But it's also the beginning of farming season, so I am splitting time between ditching, vines, dragging fields, etc. and playing.

Outstanding work Phil, and great to follow. Curious though, you say "The rain cover needs to be fixed and so not move with the recoil....." but what are you fixing it to?

Another of your mini master classes which makes it look so simple Phil. I have to say that the change in appearance of that projector housing rear end is striking. Just adding such simple extras lifts this model to a different level.
Thanks for posting, we are all following in awe.
