a weekend down the cellar, what a bliss, no disturbances, all that time to invest on my Inflexible.
hear we have the forward chimney, before (white) and after (slightly painted) once its been through my fingers for modification and a general make it look nicer than anybody Else's...
first of all it was sanded smooth, the three rings were removed, only to be added again with micro strips.
the upper and lower rims also had some micro strips added to form a flange around the funnel.
the expansion overflow pipes (i think that's what they are) fore and aft were also added, in there own little rings to hold them in place.
also around the upper rim, using chopped down brass etched stanchions and 0.2mm NiSi rod to make that (don't know what its called) loop around the funnel.
