Reason why there is little progress:


This little pile of pine is a much larger project I am working on. If it goes wrong, I can enter IT as my wreck and ruin build. The longest section is a little over a metre long.

Building a cot?

Nope
It's actually a sort of modelling project...  :D

The barge surface consists of 9 plastic aquarium filter panel thingies - someone had mentioned these for sci-fi platforms in a thread I cannot find, so this is not an original idea. This last pic shows two of the things (they clip together) with a tape measure for size - or it would have been useful if the scale were legible; at least the inches are....
The ones shown in the earlier pic were sprayed white - their biggest defect is that not all spray adheres well to the plastic.




Oh those look very handy indeed.

Especially because they come in packs of 30 and are cheap... I can't find the details, but they came from Amazon.

More scribbles.
Seems unlikely I'll get anything done over the next fortnight due to work and a trip abroad...

Nice one....the jump in progress from having an idea to sketching it out is a major leap in understanding how the construction will go ahead....a couple of weeks to work on the construction in your head is something I also face in the work vs hobby interface...looking forward to seeing how you go about this
