Humph! That means building one. I want to do another engine though, so that I can fit it into an aircraft scene.\ said:Nice work Rick, looks great. It would be good to see on a stand.

True. It would be a shame to spend all this time building an engine to hide it in an engine bay, but that was the original plan. This was also always going to be a trial build just to see what could be done in this scale, if it turned out too rough and ready the option to use it in an aircraft would be there. I do have an idea for a larger project that I wanted to trial some ideas I have foe it on a smaller sized build to see if they could work, so far so good but one of my next challenges (after an engine trolley/stand) is some staging to go around an aircraft - purpose built moveable scaffolding effectively - the stuff you see in maintenance hangars for C' checks etc. Using plastic rod may be too flimsy and I'm not keen on soldered brass rod.\ said:Look at what you've built so far Mr Rick, a stand is hardly going to be straining your ability

Or Albion Alloys' new connecto system, I just remembered seeing this stuff at my LMS.\ said:There is always something new to learn....
Looking great Rick, definitely put in a light. I think Iay have already said this is a blinding idea if only to display aircraft for nice photos and is something I would definitely do if I had more time. I would definitely add some lights, if you had a decent camera you could then play about in the dark with some long exposure work... Mate it would be incredible! I'm getting excited thinking about your opportunities here!\ said:Walls fitted to the floor and the first part of the interior partition wall has been cut and fixed in place. The office that we worked out of at Kinloss was separated in a similar way, the SNCO's were in the documentation half and the rest of us used the other half to do our paperwork and control the maintenance. I'm contemplating fitting a light.
