HMSW Gargantua - progess report
« on: July 18, 2011, 10:02:10 AM »
Hi, All.

I've just posted the latest pics of my rather time-consuming walker project. http://colonelotruth.blogspot.com/2011/07/hmsw-gargantua-progress-so-far.html

She's taking shape at last - but still a long way to go!



Rivet count so far: 1,398!

What do you think?

I love it- it looks sooo victorian- I think it's that lovely green colour as much as all the rivits.
