So Paul

What are the differences between your new and old tear drop and do you still have both?

Miriam has the right idea. I think you must have been an Aussie in another life Auntie :lol:

Ron, I have both--Number 1 is useable and number 2 is almost usable.

Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:

I have managed to build and fit, temporarily, hatch number 2. This time I did it right and only need some judicial use of the electric plane to get a snug fit. I have, also, started sealing and painting the interior cupboards and galley area.
Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:

For Miriam's benefit, I will post pics pm down here, tonight :D

I started fixing the fibreglass sheeting this week. Quite proud on how it turned out.

I've been slack with keeping you all posted on My build. I have almost finished and Snoop Dougie just PM'd me to remind me that I should post some pics.

I'll get some up early next week as we will be away for the next 4 or 5 days visiting our son over on our West Coast.

Cheers
Paul :thumbsup:
