Snitchy's Entry Frozen lake

[Constable Bertrand]

Cracking snitchy!!

Isn't it great modelling vehicles and terrain that are weathered/beaten/homemade. It means we dont have to be precise in our curves and the model looks more fun to boot

I like the covering on the back of the engine. 

Cheers

You've got the lake, trees, and a beautiful aerosled is nearly done. What are you planning to show us on the remaining 55 days of the competition?

Cunning in trying to trick the competition. Entries due 7th March.

I like the covering on the back of the engine. 

I have not decided if I am going to model it with a covering or not.  Most of them had the engine exposed so I might go that rout.  It depends on if I decide to model a radial or a straight block engine.  Still on the drawing board there since I started on the suspension and running gear last night.

I noticed that too, kinda sneaky.  I just have a bit of time to play around with it since I am looking for permanent work.  Immigrating to a new country can be a pain in the but.  At least I know the writing style that I need to use to get an interview now.  Take care.

It's all looking great Snitchy - you know you could have just done the iced over lake, right?! 

Good luck with the job hunt.

Looking very nice! More, more MORE!

Had about an hour and a half this morning so I came to a decision about what kind of engine to build. 

First chance that I have had to really use my circle punch.  I think it worked pretty well. 
I also managed to putty the body up and built some of the supports for the running gear and engine.

I will probably wire the engine up tomorrow and make the mount to attach it to the supports.  I need to add the fuel and oil tanks and some other hardware in there so space will be an issue but I might be able to infer that some of that is in the cab. 
Hope you like.

Looking great Snitchy!

Will you have fire included as well somehow?

[Duke Donald]

Blimey, for some reason I thought we had two months left ... Ouch, I'll have to pick up the pace!

[Vanvlak]

Blimey, that's coming along nicely! 

[Constable Bertrand]

I think that engine turned out great too

[Duke Donald]

I completely forgot to comment on the aerosledge after the shock revelation that I had nearly one month less than I thought. The engine looks amazing... and I need a circle punch myself. Is yours one of these revolving ones designed for punching holes in leather?

[OSHIROmodels]

That's coming along great 

So the whole engine was scratch built?

cheers

I have several but this is the one I am using. 

It is from micromark and I have noticed that they raised their prices up again.  You might find better on the internets from another manufacture.

So the whole engine was scratch built?

Completely.  I am trying not to use any boxed parts on the whole build.  We shall see how long I can keep that commitment. 
Thanks all.

That engine looks sweet
