If you havnt noticed there's a nautical theme running through my build with the fittings ect.
The interiors hopefully going to resemble a cozy 80's boat interior and the outside and the galley like how the thunderbird prop designer would design parkers weekender lol

Excellent! What does the rest of the writing say?

I used to love going down the street to the neighbor friends (who had UHF on their tellie) in order to watch the Thunderbirds. :thumbsup:

Cool. I just had a look to see if I could watch the recent Thunderbird movie on download cableTV, but they wanted $10 to "buy" it. :thumbdown: :roll:

If it's the "thunderbird are go" new tv show forget it unless you like crap new animation.
Was seriously disappointed with it.

The new Thunderbirds series has recently started screening on tv in NZ. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet but have recorded it in case it is worth a watch. 8)

I was referring to the 2004 movie starring Bill Paxton: Thunderbirds movie trailer on YouTube.

Had a fair bit of time on the excavator and front end loader today and got the hang of both pretty quickly.
My instructor actualy commented on how well I was doing on the excavator witch both suprised and pleased me.
So he gave me a task where a dummy electrical service conduit was buried and I had to dig a 4 meter long trench and dig over , under and not break said pipe.
Didn't think I had a hope but he even came and took pics I'd done so well...quite chuffed I was.
All this isn't that conducive to building my TD though,5 hours of paperwork plus another hour at home,2 hours travel almost and alot of concentration on equipment dosn't allow for much time for anything else that requires thought.
So hopefully by the end of the week I've got my tickets and might get some work out of it.
Body's a bit old for tiling I recon but I've got something else in the pipeline too

I just stripped down, cleaned and polished that isolator switch and was putting it away brand new looking and dropped it :(.....how do you glue Baker lite together successfully.
I'm so annoyed!

Broke 3 pieces off cleanly and one parts cracked and not flush with the rest.
It could have been worse but it cleaned up like new with Armour all.
It's fixable just a matter of what to use and as it's broken around one mounting point I'll have to be super careful tightening it up

Here is the stuff you need. I've fixed everything with it except wood. If you have a large crack or missing piece there is a powder you use to fill it in. It's also sandable and paintable. If you get it let me know and I'll give you some tips on use. Like I said I've used it a lot. Pretty amazing stuff and goes a long way so great value as well.
