Excellent work Jon, and staggering will power!
In the photo half of the floor appears a different shade, is that the original piece or something?

Bit by bit it comes on.

The only section that is new build in that picture is the left hand (as you look at the picture) floor section. Though even then that has all the bits I could recover from the original remains incorporated – spruce members, ferules, footplate etc. If it wasnt rotten, it has gone back in.

The right side was a NOS part that came with the project when I acquired it. I did consider making this side so as to include original parts as well, but there wasnt enough left to justify it – came out at one 5″ section of a member several times longer than that! Fear not though, instead it was recycled and put in the other side. 🙂

Other original VZ193 bits in there are the wheel well fairing, cannon beam and front bulkhead formers which are attached to the wooden armour plating – the original metal one would happily flatten everything at the moment!
