New engine for Tiger1

[Adrian Harris]

I would agree they look like very nice parts.

From that first picture, I thought you had made some Maybach gemelli

Adrian.

[Iacopo Di Giampietro]

Spectacular!
Really do not know what to add, except that all this work and really over the top!
Complimenti, Ivano!

amazing work ivano, make enough so we all can have one, regards simon manning.

[Ivano Costantini]

Thanks Simon,
the engines will be only 15 with certificate of authenticity: from 1.1-47832 to
1.15-47847. They will be accompanied by a plate engraved in steel.On request you can have your name on the certificate and two/three original stamps of the period.
Those interested,without obligation,can already choose the number. Thanks to all of you who follow the work. See you soon. Ivano

Here's another small detail,the rear casing stretches and will have two bearings so the gears will turn in photogravure.I do not do the chain because it would cost too much and would delay delivery.However you can use the chain of a bicycle 1/6 (Dragon or other).I've had purchased a 26€ on Ebay,just shorten it.I feel OK,what do you think?You have tips? Thank you

[Jack Hrovatin]

Ivano,
My only concern with using the Dragon 1/6 scale bike chain...is that those model kits are too scarce, and to purchase one that includes a figure are way too expensive. There has to be another way...I hope! Fantastic work my friend, just outstanding!!!

Hello "friend" Jack,
maybe i was lucky because i only found the bicycle at 27 pounds.Yes,maybe it's weak,but it is not working dynamically. It'just a detail that can move.
Resistant chains are of Graupner (48 €)to motorcycle RC in 1/9 scale. They are very beutiful and durable but oversized. I have tried others but have not found anything that works. If you know alternatives inform me. Thank you!

[Jack Hrovatin]

Ivano,
OK, I just found a Tamiya 1/6 scale "Small" motorcycle kit. It is of the "Honda Monkey, Z50J-1 Motorcycle". I found one for around $40, although more than I wanted to spend... it has a beautiful link chain that might work. WE'LL SEE?

Hi Ivano, check out fusee chains, made for old clocks and watches, eBay is a good place to look
