I've been thinking about a twin post hoist. Thanks. If you get a twin post from Fujimi, modify the base and bring the post closer together. Stock, the arms have to approach pointing at each other which reduces the four point spread holding the model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are together in the shop in various stages of assembly. They were from the Tommy Ivo Showboat kit. One has been put back as a Showboat engine.

landman Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 One will be done as a 401 from the early sixties and another one will be done as a hotrod engine with 6 Strombergs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landman Posted June 10, 2020 Author Share Posted June 10, 2020 I found one 401 valve cover in the stash so I cast another one.I also cast two front cover/water pump assemblies from the 66 Riv engine as well as an intake manifold. I purchased a 3D printed intake pack from fellow member Chris Drysdale. Buit up the Showboat oil pans to work on a vertical engine. In the dragster, the engines are inclined.

Anglia105E Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Some nice pipe work on both engines. Liking the gold and shiny one!

Anglia105E Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I guess the fourth one could be just laying on the pallet, awaiting it's turn to be mounted on a stand like the other three engines ? David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Pat, I'm so happy to see some MLM parts out in the wild! That 6x2 Buick mill looks great, and the standing figure complements the scene so well! With those tapered leather shoes and narrow pant-legs, he even looks '60s. Nice work kitbashing and resin-casting to get the exact look you were going for.

Anglia105E Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Just one question, Pat...... have you noticed the number of views of your topic rising by large amounts, on a daily basis? The only reason I ask, is that since the design and layout of the Forum was updated I have observed increasingly large numbers of views, while there are much less comments on my topic..... in fact, hardly any. The correlation of views to comments does not seem right to me. I would seriously question how valid the number of views registering is actually being calculated. Of course, I may be wrong, and maybe I am just getting paranoid? Not all members keep a daily record of views for their topic, so perhaps that makes me a sad old man !

David David it is possible that the new arrangement gets more views as it puts our dios in with the rest of the WIPs. The people who scan WIPs regularly see it where they didn't before. If they didn't before it is because they never or rarely went to the Diorama section. So the corresponding lack of comment is likely a result that they are just not interested. No harm done.
