You will like it here Bo. We all do it for different reasons but sharing with like minded people is likely the principal reason most of us are here. And learning, boy have I learned a lot of stuff here. Welcome aboard.

Beautiful job Bill. And you are right, the woodgrain turned out very realistic.

Added a few more things.

Pretty well complete. Still need to do some plumbing and wiring as well as deciding what to do with the exhaust.

Let us check the catalogue. We'll see what there is.

Trial fitting the components to see if it will look the part.

Two sided tape.

That was my intent to create a little scenario. However, the fork lift has been there since 2015. It is something else they need.

Do you tell him or do I tell him? I don't care, we need one. OK, I'll tell him.

Forgive me Lorne for posting my engine here but I wanted to show Michael the LS V12

I almost did that, but when I realized that they can be built two ways (2 carbs or turbo) I decided to keep them to make a complete trio as I have the one with 4 carbs as well. But I did consider it.

That is the understatement of the year.?

Pecked away at it a bit again this morning.

?

Are they cast?

Hopefully, it will at lest be recognizable if not identical.

I told Norm on the phone that it looked very Chevy like. He chuckled and said it is made out of Chevy Stovebolts. It is a "What if" engine that he feels could be used in rat rods.

The front cover is taking shape. I had to quit because I was getting cross-eyed.

4 bags of Webers by Veber, some 6 cylinder distributors and a straight 8 engine.

Thank you for the kind words. That is the goal of the whole thing, having fun while possibly entertaining others.

Hi Alan, yes the English wheel is made from a clamp.Its construction is on page 6 of my diorama thread :http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/97646-background-diorama-flatheads-to-boxers-engine-rebuilders-new-tool-new-room/page/6/ The figure is from Printle shop on Shapeways: https://www.shapeways.com/designer/benhaim. The natural pose comes from the fact that they are 3D printed from body scans of real people.

Here. It is NOT going in the collection. Maybe in the back of the shop with possibly a tarp over some of it.?

You did not drop the ball, I failed to read it properly or more likely, I read it and forgot. ?

Cut the pattern out of a sheet of .040 then glued it to another one to give a proper thickness. Punched some "covers" for the ends of the cams.

When are the results coming in for ours? Or have I missed something?
