Looking good Rod, I've been following the build and its good to see it running. I like the idea of the prop spinner for starting.

Not as pretty as your models Jason. Well, not yet, anyway

cheers,

Very nice, Rod,

I love engines where you can see all the bits moving.

Is it going to perform on red nose Day?

Good one Rod, what cooling system has / will it have when it's finished? Ian S C

[Andrew EvansParticipant @andrewevans67134]

Nice work Rod, well done. I have followed your progress and am also in the middle of building a Wyvern. I am about 25% of the way through and hopefully it will turn out as well as yours. Andy

Guys,

Thank you for the kind words. The cooling will be via a static tank, I've been making the fittings today. What next? Well I've got a set of these maturing. But first I need to do some finishing and painting. Then there's a Tidy vice to make and that fishing rod and a chitarrone that I've got the drawings for and Jenny Lind has been ignored for years and, and, and………..

Cheers,

Rod

Rod, those castings look like a good place to got to, neve really been to keen on castings my self, but then again I'v never really had the oppertunity to try, other than a rebuild of a Stuart Turner S9. My stuff is all free lance, from bar stock, and bits and pieces. Ian S C
