Thanks guys - I know what you mean Dave, I'm not sure on patina-ed (that's not a word!) bronze or rusty iron, seen beautiful examples of both!

Great work Ant.
I'm sure there could be a lot of uses for this board other than the Nautilus.
Got a price for these yet ?

Thanks guys

made a small bit of progress on the wheelhouse, but now got bogged down with the window masks - yeah they really are a swine! Most of them are just a weeny bit too big...

Then got distracted on another project...

Just peeled mine off - at first glance there doesn't appear to be any major issues, just wait until I light it up and I'm sure disaster will be staring me in the face, LOL.
