Cheers guys. Been a bit of a journey with it so far and i hope i haven't bored you all with pics lol. Still not quite finished but not much more on the engine..... honest

Alan,
The plumbing looks superb.

[JR]

Certainly not Alan, the more photos showing that detail the better .

[Andy the Sheep]

An outstanding job, Alan and a clear example of modeller's patience.

[AlanG]

Combustion chambers (and pipes/cables) primed with Mr. Surfacer 1000. Never used the stuff before but seems to give a nice cover. Totally stinks though. Defo a mask job. Will wait for a bit (not sure how long) then i'll paint the chambers/pipes/cables up.

You'd be awarded honorary plumbers' butt crack jeans over here. Beautiful work.

Looking good Al.

Don't know anyone who doesn't like the finish it gives that has used it but as you say it does smell, which rules it out for me as I am in the kitchen.... :sad-face:

[Jim R]

I must try that primer. They make a Mr S1500 which is supposed to be excellent. Looking superb Alan.

[stillp]

I just bought their Mr Surfacer 1200 - I'll report on how I get on with it.

All that work on the combustion chambers and you can see what exactly? You can see some things 'in the flesh' if you look closely. My crappy camera doesn't really pick it up (it is decades old now). Nearly time to push all these engine bits together and fill the joints then paint

[Jim R]

You know it's there and the work involved.

[AlanG]

Just working out where the engine mounting points go.

[Mark1]

Excellent work so far Alan.

[adt70hk]

That really is looking the business Al. Great work!

Cheers guys. Not much time to progress this at the moment as work is taking up a lot of my time. But i have a week off coming up so i hope to get some time at the bench.
