The correct color for an engine that was made over eighty years ago and raced or used almost every year since is always hard to figure - mixing about two parts light gun metal to one part mica silver - this is what i came up with ….

Made flanges for the cyl head water pipes and the oil lines off of the bottom of the block …. These were sanded to shape, drilled, then cut from a strip of Evergreen …

The cam cover end plates each got two RB Motion bolts fr his Cosworth Cam Cover bolt set - they are stupid small - .012 - and then i did some work on the cyl head …

Ya know …. I swear that i had a spare $ 700.00 in my pocket … Lego …. Check out the scale …

Grrrreat …

Excellent research motor in ?

Did the kit skip the secondary lamps ?

Super

and the second ??

Just read Dutch builder Pouln’s 1/4 scale alfa 8c engine build on the Britmodeler forum - I am …. .. … sad ….

Ok - read the post - 1/8 sc - somebody’s got to find the 1 to 1 … Michigan forum members - get to work …

1/8 scale ??

Ok. Im a little calmer … this is a great choice .. this design is an absolutley inspired update of a classic - as i recall - it crawled onto the internet over 10 yrs ago - and i think was the work of a young South American car designer … its a wonderful design and a GREAT subject …

No Charles - you CAN’T build this ! i wanted to build this !

You killed those seats ! killed ‘em …

is it done ?? post some photos of the beast on a neutral background so I can "BeCassa" it ...

Ive been following your posts for months now - really cool stuff - as im sure you know - most of the kits that you have produced large scale parts for have also been produced in 24th scale - examples are the Monogram Bugatti and the Heller / Revell (?) Bentley Blower - some of your parts could be useful in the smaller scale - example - the Bentley eng water pump … have you tried yet to print these parts in the smaller scale ?

Maybe its not crazy after-all … thinking yes it is …

Thanks - actually i didnt even need an invite …. Will do …

Ya know - you may have created the world’s smallest English wheel …

Framcois seems to have much too much spare time - do you think he would draw and print the gear set for me? Ill hollow out the case if he’ll make my gears ! In my scale, of course - by the way - who’s gonna take his massage amount of research and tear apart a 24th scale Bentley Blower ?

Yup - think you can do much better - maybe bin the kit part and draw a new one ? Spare time’s over-rated - right ?

Should i add the clutch and the trans gears ??

And the bolt holes in both parts - probably will use .06 Master Club bolts …

Made an .015 plastic disc to replace the resin removed in surgery - and threw on a fly wheel - discarded spare watch gear - for laughs - this will have to go when the trans is glued to the block -
