I have made a decision, that I will NOT be posting WIP photos of the Viper trailer build.

I have already had too many keyboard warriors and, "experts" mouthing off. I have good help and guidance from people in the industry, so I'm fine.

This means the Viper group is going to be pretty quiet for some time and honestly, I need the break.
I might even be able to head out bush a bit more.

Rest assured that as the money comes in over the next few months, I will be cutting, drilling, bending and welding like a crazy man at every opportunity.

Happy new year and may 2024 fill your buckets.

Baz out.

Just finished this one. I'm looking at different handle shapes to try out to see if I can stretch my range and skills.

Yes. It's a domed pin. Tricky to achieve. nailed it.

So far I've not been able to raise the money I need to purchase steel, suspension, braking and electrics to build this trailer. I have a heap of stock on my shop, but no luck selling yet.

In my bored state of waiting, I decided to gather together some scrap aircraft engine parts, shed offcuts, a rusty old steel bucket and a box of brass and copper scrap components.

I put together a bit of a FrankenBaz engine facade, totally non-cannon, and cut a hole to fit it into the top of the port engine nacelle. I soldered my first circuit board ever and gave it some blinking lights to bring it to life.

I like it.

Now just construct a decent sized drag coil and you're off prospecting where others fear to tread....

Here's how simple and fast it is to fit a wing to the Viper as a one-man operation.

Just finished another two sets of Japanese kitchen knives that I'm going to use to fund the trailer for the Viper.
