T"anks mate the storage part was quite easy to make it was the side skirt brackets that were a pain.

Very nice! Love the work you've done on the schurtzen rails and stowage. What did you use to make the schurtzen?

Hi Chris the schurtzen was made up with plastic sheets as were the brackets and the storage rails just used a lighter to melt the brackets into shape that was the tricky part as it was a case of trial and error if you want I can send you photos of it before painting and you would get a better idea how it was made. If I was doing it again i would make the botton brackets out of metal as they are a bit fragile.

Thanks stevieboy. I just wondered whether you used plasticard. I used mild steel sheet on mine and that was a pain to do too but they turned out to be quite strong.
