Deakon! The scale of this model is 1:16, most typical scale for vehicles are 1:25, for planes 1:33/1:35, and for ships I think the most common scale is 1:200.

This is going to be the engine room.The assembly of this part was straight forward.Glue to 1mm karton and put together.

So the funny part starts....
There are a lot of parts involved here.Some of the parts are cutted out and glued to karton.Some pieces are 3mm thick....

Here I have glued the frame together and checking if the other parts fit.And a overview

Small strips glued, and the Bulbe in place.If you look closely you can see that I have put on some 0,6mm nuts on part 4d, to make it look more real.
I have ordered papernuts from DrafModel to use in my builds.they come in various sizes from 0,6mm up to 2,5mm with or without centerhole.

This tiny part are going into this

Parts glued together

Placed the upper part to see the result.I'm not quite happy with this result, I could have been more thorough with my cutting, but with some grinding paper it came out in a way.....
