Building A Simple 1/56 Steam Engine
« on: 01 January 2017, 02:01:13 AM »
Happy New Year All!

I have had a side project related to my VSF stuff on the go for quite a while. Well it needed a suitable simple steam engine so I turned this...


Into this...


Parts and a couple more pictures are on the blog...

Indeed!

However, a small part of me that wishes 'more ornamentation' imagines more of the base of the cap left.

Insane for that sized engine, but my small parts are never silent...  lol
