hello everyone , just to let you know im alive and kicking, just another 5 gun port lids on the port side to make, so i am still progressing, but lots going on in real life, as i am re-assessing my goals in life as some of you may be aware- i have been loosing weight for the last 7 months now lost 31 kgs and still going - but i have asked to be a consultant - under a franchise and have made the decision to go for it, the intentions are that eventually this will replace my full time employment- so that will lead to me having a lot more free time (well thats the idea) apologies - for my lack of correspondence in others build logs, lol i have even packed EVE (online game in) after five years So please bear with me - im still here all the best Kevin

Range also includes a metal primer.
