Stylishly shoe-horned in the back there Christopher! Make sure you leave a hole for the pull-start  !!  ... (yeah, another one of my early mistakes!!)

That is taking shape as a very easy on the eye machine. Good work!

Radiator surround is a ply former on the back and bottom, then a block of insulation foam glued to them. This was shaped then covered in 3 layers of fiberglass, sanded smoothed painted.

Thanks. Is that similar to the Kingspan product? Like https://www.kingspan.com/gb/en/products/insulation-boards/wall-insulation-boards/thermawall-tw55/
