Hi Pete, exactly when are you getting to use that camera
I don't think it's ever going to clear, I've even stopped checking the weather sites
More progress photos. Got the dome off the wall to do the shutter, so the wheels are in, the shutter ring is made and I've sealed the foam with paint I found in the shed.
After talking to a few people, I've decided to seal the doam with acrylic paint under the render as the render will most likely crack at some stage. I've given it a couple of coats of the paint I had here and good old bunnings had a litre of stone finish acrylic on the wrong tint pallet for $6. This stone finish paint has a texture like sandpaper which should help the render to stick as well as being the final sealing coat on the doam.
I hope to get the shutter in before the boy child has all his mates over here on Sunday for a BBQ.
Getting close now
