Endurance 333
All twelve modules have now been fitted and just a little cleanup left to do on some- I've also nearly finished casting all the payloads which go in the back of the habitation modules, so that ought to be done by the end of today.
In between casts I was making the tunnel module master, which is now already moulded and I'll soon be casting from.
The last thing I did yesterday was make the brass arm which juts from the ship's aft. I intend to tap a 1/4" tripod thread into it for mounting purposes, so I needed the join to withstand holding up 5kg; I reasoned the strongest join I'd be able to whip up at 11pm in my shop would be if I pinned and soldered the two brass bars together. As you can see, it works a charm.
