You're fast becoming the #1 Yeti project Builder
Fair play to Yah buddy you've an exceptional eye for /attension to detail

Slow burner or not I'll be following this one keenly

I don't know about that, maybe #1 project starter! Finishing them seems to be the biggest challenge so big respect to everyone on here, I know how much time it takes to finish these projects

This should be a sweet build though, even better if I can source a portage pad.

Mate your last finished build was Sublime.

Im confident this will be the same.

Could we not make a suitable shoulder pad for it. Im sure there must be someone here or on yetifan with one we could borrow, once in hand and with some thought, it shouldnt be too hard... :?

That's the difference between me and you.... I'd have f**ked up and bought it

(although to be honest I've not got the real deal to directly compare it with.. so I might let myself off that one)

The dacals are the particularity of your frame.
Or, before removing them, make a copy

The white was a repaint, the turq/white was a repaint, it's impossible to tell now what colour it would have been originally. The stripes really don't do it for me I am sorry

But they are only bits of tape wrapped around the tubes so very easy to replicate
