Following another break in transmission

Another long break in communications for which I can only apologise, lots going on distracting me from the updates. First of all the new Avid HQ, erected from scratch and promptly filled to the brim with both useful and some not quite so useful stuff....

Those are brass chips on the work bench in front of the lathe, more on that later

In the meantime, several sets of floats are in various stages of production, the first of which had to be finished before Christmas as it was ordered as a gift. The recipient is ex-Royal Corps of Signals, and still fiercely loyal, so the order came in with a request for any sort of reference to the Corps to be included...

Here's the finished set, I wanted to include the figure of Mercury (affectionately known by the Corps as 'Jimmy' apparently) but the dark float body in combination with the need to have white within the transfer (printers than can actually print white don't come cheap) meant it was just the colours included...

Margin pellet waggler weighted such thattit needs just a couple of BB shot to lock it in place, and the pellet then falls unweighted to match as nears as possible the free offerings, and a weighted parachute waggler inspired by Middy's offerings...

Pheasant tail wagglers with sight bobs....

And a cork-bodied weighted waggler

More updates to follow as soon as the other sets are completed....
