Re: panther build.. at last!
Had a great day at the open day, gives you some motivation looking at other people's builds. I am now attempting the I.R Unit ontop of the Cupola

Re: panther build.. at last!
Hi Simon.
This is something I wanted to try and do as well, if anyone can make a proper job of I am sure you can mate, your Panther looked fantastic at the open day.
Looking forward to seeing this bit done. Will you be putting a laser light in it? you know one of the tiny pen lights? would look really good at dusk
Best wishes Paul![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

Brilliant Simon, good to see you at Yeovilton. Some high class turning there, loved the detail, especially the knurled bit.
