Been doing the Sparkolator thingy again to finish off the dual lithium battery install, that crinkly plastic cable protector stuff is a pain to fit, Anywho the twin 30A solar regs are wired to the batteries --power gets through the twin manual iso switches from the Alternator --- the in cab wires for the fridge get a nice 13.3 V at the plug end and to top it all off the dual Volt meters have a slight .2 varience,   but  they show a pretty Blue read out display so thats not a problem  ..
Amazingly there was'nt even any magic smoke      ....  Winner  ;D   
Just got to mount the Aircompressor /  Tank / Flexi solar panel and wire them up next ..

Edit: Yes that is, Good O'l cardboard and 100 MPH Tape making the cover for the Voltmeters, it works fine and will last for many years .  ;D

Today we pulled the camper out to see what we hid in it the last time we used it, and then put it back in the garage...

Also worked out what I need to fix on it before our Cape trip... ...

Ah you've done it again.
I'm in awe of your work mate.
Well done.
Cheers
You don't use magic to disappear, all you need is a 4wd & a Swag ;)

Agree.  Cannot believe how quickly Pottsy puts them out & the quality is exceptional

Imaging a wooden Zephyr with Barra motor.....

Pottsy

Couldn't come up with the Barra induced Zephyr but I did come up with a Flinstones car that Jeepers wanted. Not super big only about 160mm long, used up some excess turnings I had for the wheels which set the size for everything else.
Bit of fun.

Nice work Pottsy yet again.

I haven't attempted any as yet side tracked trying to be a Rembrandt, throwing paint at canvas like a mad rooster.

Scored a frame today. I will change the frames appearance and try to produce a better painting to go in it. This is the first try at a real painting that I did some time ago.

Just noticed the reflection in the image. Won't use the glass when I frame what ever goes in it.

I'd be happy to hang that on my wall.

First try??? Sign it and chuck it up on ebay for a grand.... that Shits on some of the paintings I've seen on there.
I'd be happy with that after 5 yrs.... let alone first try

Did lots of exercises leading up to that though. The photo is very kind to it, however that is how easy Len is to follow. His sayings during his videos are normally, "dab dab dab", "make it up as you go along", "don't worry about mistakes just fix them later or paint over them".

Very relaxed dude.

Worth trying to follow some of his free lessons on his website.

I'm not going to claim this one as quick build but it was enjoyable one, this was commissioned by a My Swag member and I'm grateful for the opportunity to build it. He will post a photo of the real thing at a later date so you will be able to tell if I captured enough detail. This is just on 1.8 m long, so approx 1:20 scale. Prime mover is pine and Blackwood and the trailer in pine and Meranti.
