I got off work a little early tonight so I took the opportunity to get some alodining done on the rudder components. I did the smaller parts in my plastic tubs, and then set up my long bath for the longer pieces. In hindsight I should have just done everything in the long bath.
Oh well, doesn't matter as they're all done now, and looking awesome.
A gaggle of golden rudder parts
I still love the nice golden colour the aluminium parts turn after alodining
This is the bit the rudder control cables connect to .... very important piece!
