Looking good Phil. You even managed to use that exhaust coupling between the engine and exhaust box. I did not really like the drawing I did for it hence the reason why I never mentioned it.

Phil, the amount of detail you are cramming in there is just plain crazy. In a very good way, obviously!!
Amazing work.

[Phil Woollard]

Thanks guys although I have slowed down a bit to let Ivano catch up.
John the smoker is, as it was just hiding under the floor. I will need to cut slots in the vertical floor step to allow the air in and the sound out, and that speaker is loud and can cope with the large output from the sound module. I may even add another speaker somewhere for the top end sounds, i also have one of adrian's smoke control modules which has been configured to run with the sound board which should slot in there to I hope.

Vince the exhaust fittings are great, I'm not sure if those s shaped collectors will fit just yet but I can always print longer ones.

Kevin I like creating the almost impossible it just takes some imagination.

Nice work Phil and Vince - you've taken this model to a new level. Those printed bits look awesome, esp if the floor is painted black for contrast. You've demonstrated the niche home printing can fill for customization and details!
Great stuff!

Been painting, weathering and wiring today.

Don't leave that 1/6 spanner where it can vibrate off into the 1/6 drive clutches! Fantastic detail.

Also to that black canteen cup......

Hi Bob hi Chang, I'm using a matt black shade on the false floor inside that hull and your are right the contrast works a treat!
Today's task is to get a drawing to Vince of the gue engine with as many dimensions as I can guesstimate, if anyone has any info on the gue please share, and photos or drawings would be great.

[Vince Cutajar]

Is this the bottle jack you wanted?

Just to give you an idea of size, the cylinder is 12mm and it is 30mm tall. So I guess you will have difficult printing the smaller parts like the Sterling (I guess the Sterling never printed well).

Remember to keep it simple!

Vince that Jack will be great for the kit locker details and for my little diorama's , I can use some brass rod for the handle!
Ref the gue drawing, I am a simple guy so a simple sketch will be easy!
The sterling is a tricky print for sure, it's getting all the supports removed that's the problem and I've been side tracked with the engine bay but I will crack it!

[Vince Cutajar]

Shall I send you the stl of the jack?

[Phil Woollard]

Yes please, I will fire up the printer. I may increase the size to get a larger version of the same jack.

[Vince Cutajar]

File sent.

I may increase the size to get a larger version of the same jack.

I used actual dimensions for a 6 ton jack.
