MartinB Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 12" F4 housed in an obsy!! Someone's going to be having fun. Great work Daz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 More progress...First coat of new paint applied to the side panels, just the beams left to do now. Reglazed and sealed the window at the front - and annoyingly managed to crack to the top left hand corner putting it back in situ!!And have got the Beast mounted, and with the excellent radius blocks from John Rose, on the M3 SBS bar as well!!I also managed to get a quick peek through the scope at Vega - though space is tight for me and the step ladder. My racing snake figure stands me in good stead!!! Anyway, piccies.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Still to do....1. Paint beams2. Finish pier top properly (I couldn't wait )3. Lay carpet4. Internal layoutI figure the best way for the internal layout is to live in it for a while, and see what needs to go where. The only thing I am sure of at the moment is where the PC will go. The rest will find its own home I guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychobilly Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Simply the best astro accessory you can buy for the UK....Looking good Daz and the new scope looks like a serious tool as well Peter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerp Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Thanks looking really really cool now Daz, it'll be a 5* ob once you put the carpet down.I'm so envious of you all building your obs. I built a 20 X 26 ft music studio when I lived in my 3 bed house but since we moved to a 1 bed flat in a better area costing the same as the 3 bed house I've really missed having a garden. However, we are hoping to move into a house again next year with a garden so all these designs will help me build a really goon one.CheersNeil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
