The resin draft is cured, and tape is removed from the perimeter. A bit of bleed through in a few places will need to be sanded off before vac forming

Luck is still holding. In the second draft I've skimmed the trouser fit way down to a straight-leg jean, and taken out the darts while maintaining the fit of the waistline. There's a bit of a bubble in the upper sideseam, but I think that's a sharp curve that needs clipping to lie smoothly.
I wanted more of a boot leg, so next draft will some more skimming of the top to the knee and some messing around with trying to create a yoke at the waist without getting overwhelmed by seam allowances.
But I have to run out for a while and probably when I get back my lucky streak will be all over.
This video was taken from the Gorleston side of the River Yare as the STS Lord Nelson sails (well motors) down the river towards the North Sea. A new crew were taken on at Great Yarmouth during the Maritime Festival.

STS Lord Nelson was two years in the making. Commissioned by the Jubilee Sailing Trust she would be the 'flagship' for the Jubilee Sailing Trust's mission to enable people with disabilities to sail.
In the summer of 1984 enough funds had been raised to enable a start on the building of Colin Mudie’s design no 342, Lord Nelson. A contract was awarded to James W Cook. The ship was to be constructed at Wivenhoe, Essex.
The keel of the ship was laid in October 1984 . Unfortunately, it was not all 'plain sailing' in the months after. J W Cook's financial position deteriorated rapidly and the company went into voluntary liquidation. With Lord Nelson only half finished and the naming ceremony looming, the decision was taken to move Lord Nelson to Vosper Thornycroft’s yard in Woolston, Southampton.
Vosper Thornycroft worked hard to complete the work, for the naming ceremony which was attended by HRH Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson on the 4th July 1986.
Work was not complete however, and Lord Nelson returned to Vospers yard to be met with more uncertainty. Vospers were hit by an industrial dispute, which meant that once again Lord Nelson had to move. Arrangements were made to take Lord Nelson to Coles Yard in Cowes where the remainder of the work was carried out.
On the 17th of October 1986, the newly completed Lord Nelson made her way out of Southampton and towards the challenge of changing lives for everyone who came on board.
Just an example of the kind of patent drafting my father did in the days before CAD (computer assisted drawing) during a career that spanned from the 40's to the 1988. At the age of 92 he's still busy drawing and writing letters.
A pin back button is pictured from the December 4, 1967 rallies across the country where draft cards were burned in opposition to the selective service system.
Burning draft cards was held to be a crime by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The draft system required certain individuals to enter the armed forces. There were widespread exceptions that enabled wealthier people to postpone or permanently half induction into the service.
In addition, the Vietnam War was an unpopular was largely disconnected to any real threat to the United States.

Here is the loot I drafted from the first online LEGO Draft held on classic-castle.com via Flickr.
#9471 Uruk-Hai Army was the selected set to be drafted.
Brief rules and how this came to be can be found here:

The PvC bookmark and 1x1 tile rounds in the bottom right were extra items given to all draft participants by our exceptional host, AK_Brickster.
Thanks for the items and the great event. Definite good times.

The final draft of my new design, an Elephant. Well, every designer needs to have an elephant, right?
Based on a circle packing, I added grafts to lengthen the tail and create bulky legs. I am particularly proud of this design as it contains more shaping folds than there are to get to the base!
It is also closed-back (I think) and stands up very well on it's own. The tusks (middle points!) and the inside of the ears are colour-changed, but for this rendition I used 15cm Tant paper which has the same colour on both sides.
