Default bases are done..well, almost

Hi Guys

The last 3 need the final touches but others are either sent to their new owners or waiting for finances to become available or on the shelf for their possible new owners to get back to me.
I built 10 and had 14 odd inquiries so as some have declined due to price or for other reasons I am working through the list of those who showed interest.

It appears the end price of AUD$550.00 is a bit of an issue. That's fine. It's a bit of a shock to me as well. As I have stated to some MLU members, had I known what I had let myself in fore there is no way I would have started.

As I have also mentioned to members, here are some facts about making these bases.

There are 44 separate parts. There are 20 folds, 22 welds, 4 hot rivets, 7 machined parts, 3 of which are purpose built bolt thingys (new word) and one cast aerial mount base.
The biggest trick is to put this all together and make it work.
I'd like to thank Sam Scholz for helping me.

The scary part is that they are not even complete. As it has been pointed out there are parts missing. I only hope someone else makes them and puts me on the list for buying.

It's been fun

Kind Regards
