    Found the cause.


    From my webmaster:


    So the recent uptick in your traffic caused ICAAN the internet name police to request a manual verification of your contact details to ensure your site wasn't stolen.... your site is current in limbo.I have answered and verified you are who you are we just need a hour or so for ICAAN to catch up and the DNS servers to point back to your site again.


    That was last night, so it's back up again now.


    All good.


    Baz.

    Yes mate. It's all on the facebook link below.

    Cut and paste.

    Here's the last of my astronomy gear up for grabs.
    The observatory has been stripped and the property for sale. So the gear goes too.
    All of my gear has been housed in an observatory all it's life, so is in exceptionally good nick. Some have been hardly used.
    $2500 for the lot. If you know your gear, you know this is extraordinarily low-priced.
    PM only. No time wasters.
    Baz.

    The end of an era.

    I have finished the Viper, it's trailer and the first public appearance is this coming Sunday.
    I've been madly tweaking the trailer and display, steps, jack-stands and a ladder, along with an inverter and lead-acid battery power solution for a totally self-contained unit.
    It's a good shakedown close to home, so I can get things sorted and be confident that the trailer will make the distance to other cities and highway driving.

    The Canberra Times came out and interviewed me last week, took lots of photos and video.

    Not ashamed to say that as a kid the Viper was the undisputed fave sci-fi fighter in my books, a lot of people idolised Skywalker and the X-Wing, I always preferred Starbuck and his Viper.

    Builds By Baz your model is spectacular, wd mate.
