Changes to the engine mounts are needed so that the engine sits level in the eng bay - ive raised the mount points - using two washers on one mount - now the block is level and the cyl head sits just below the line of the hood - now i gotta make the eng bay bulkheads …

Ooph stay healthy ! Long walks are good - love that dash …

Quinta Studios ! me wants - me wants - set still available ?

Thanks for posting the build on the kayak - you have studied Wingrove carefully and have learned his lessons well …. now - about shows and judging - IPMS - in my opinion - has not yet figured out how to judge what you do - and they might never figure it out - thats thing 1 - thing 2 - most show judges can’t make their own stuff - so judging your builds will be a crapshoot - but whatever - its worth the trip just to watch the other entrants pour over your stuff and give you “the nod” …. Finally - a request - make the trip into the states to the NNL East - or better yet - the NNL south in Atlanta - and tell us you are going - not only will you get alot of - nods - you will meet a few fellow 3D designers / slash builders - and that will be cool - there i’ve said it -

Just thinking - could the Hasegawa kit be a starting point for the ‘85 RX 7 SE ?? That’s the Mazda that i haven’t owned that i wish would follow me home some day …

Yup

Helmut - the MRRN article on CUT7 was based upon a build that is in the Salt Lake Model museum - which is on its way to - where? Nebraska - I think ?? - - I made a second one for CUT7's then owner / Walter Hill - I think his son may have that model now - not sure ... https://fishermodels.indiemade.com/content/home glad that Paul takes the trouble to keep his site up ...

and Mr. and Mrs Fish evacuated - the house-based business went up in smoke - - -

Great project - as a fellow MRRN contributor - i will be lurking w great interest - its been some years - i assume the younger readers know what became of Fisher’s casting business ??

Welcome Dave to Florida - i think - check out the Rev’s Collection in Naples - we’ll meet there one day next yr … i’m on the other coast …

Yup

Yup

Nope nope nope spill it ….

Some cyl head details - spark plug boots will be made from short lengths of .08 alu tube - each boot is shaped with a file - they will painted fl red -

Tim ! i just bought the last one - you can’t have one !

This is closer to scale - not exact - mite make another one - anyway - this is where it goes …

I made a smaller one fr Evergreen strip -

On the early 25s - The transistor unit for the ignition is found perched at the back of the carb tray - but the kit part is overscale - so …

Some work on the cyl head and then some work in the tray holding the Webers … the carb shielding is made from Evergreen strip….

Wow - great cutaway - i’ve got a fetish for those - thats yiddish for …. Fetish ….

Q 1 - whats your current go-to printer ?? Q2 - cant quite tell - viewing this on my phone - are the belts incorporated into the seat prints - and then painted - or what ?? and yes - you are most certainly the first on your block ….

Once this plate is done I’ll make The seperate plate for the fuel injected engine - like the tamiya part - it has to include the pulleys that drove the mechanical fuel pump in the V of the Climax engine …

And i “borrowed” the portions of the Tamiya pump parts for the water pump lines to both Cyl heads …

Bits and peices of Evergreen with some .06 bolts fr Master Club …
