I am aware of the problems over there Beekeeper and sometimes I wonder if the site is "on the skids".
As to the mould and its manufacture , I am thinking the nose shape is too blunt and would benefit from a more rounded profile ; same size meplat though. I have a few chunks of alloy in the shed and am thinking that it might be worthwhile to document the build of the MK 3 fully in an album on my profile page . Because of the limitations on the ammount of pictures I can post on threads sooner or later I will have to delete pictures from earlier threads and I do not want to do that. I can have up to 60 pictures with captions in an album and that should be enough to document the process of making a push out mould from scratch and it will be there forever . What do you think?
