    Hi Nap, just caught up with this, you are certainly doing a cracking job with all the enhancements, they really make a real difference to an already superb bust. I will carry on watching with great interest.

    QUESTION ?..Which nameplate should I put on the front of the base ??? ..the Chindit one looks good ..suggestions welcome !!!!!..both will go on !!
  10. Geoff Charman A Fixture

    How about moving the base around 45 deg. Nap, then you have 2 sides at the front you can use.

    Superb work Kev.
    Good effects on the webbing and kit bags.
    His machete is a 10/10 but attaching with a big wingnut might be a mistake .
    Really good skills from you coming to the fore Mate.
    Informative SBS well researched,as always, Thanks for sharing.
