I have said this before Martin, but worth repeating: You have not only excellent mechanical engineering skills by profession - your artistic talent is very impressive too! :D
A little too much is about right...

Hi Martin,
Very superb Elefant. Thanks for sharing so many photos.
About the hatch holder, do you consider to sell it as a after-market part?

Hi Chang,
thank you very much for your compliment.
I am so sorry, but i built the hatch holder only for me, there are no more available.
