Shitty year this 2020, but now I got at least some time for a play.
My spare boogie wheel had got few deep dents on the rubber so I tried to make it a bit prettier. Have in the storage some kind of PUR compound so why not to test it? (Complete rerubbering is a waste of money here I guess)
Im rather happy with the result, looks definitely better now and if you want to use it more like spare wheel its not a bad idea for a cheap repair.

Adam, its PUR compound called Gaform (not sure if you can obtain it abroad). This is not professional rerubbering, but good for small dents if you dont count with heavy use.

With Adam's and Rik's help I was able to make few more small parts during the Christmas break.
All metal work on sidewall Bren/rifle brackets and PIAT bracket is done now, hopefuly I will be able to finish them soon - I realized that Im out of the underpaint and all color shops are currently closed due to covid

Wish all of you better year 2021 and stay safe!

careful Petr, there may be a French Canadian bear after you for details on those PIAT brackets ... a ‘Row-bear’...
