Thanks Z for the links :-)

Thanks Neon, If I had to look back in 2009 when I started building models and then designing them and this was my first, I know it would have failed, by just building and designing models and going from very easy which is always the best starting point to going a bit harder and so on, I have...

I ask myself that same question every day :confused: :D

Thanks for the "MoM" :D:King:

Thanks Zathros and Rhaven !!!!

Finally the last photo is now on and I have also added 3 short videos clips to get the feel and size of the model. (not great quality, as it was filmed at 10pm last night.) The table that the model is sitting on is a 1 by 1 meter table. Video's...

Next batch of photos are now online (yiippee) almost there...

Well after 1 year, 11 months and 18 days what started out as an idea has now finally been realized. From the orginal sizes that I designed to it has only grown in length by 67mm. The final size of the model is 800mm long, 430mm high and 410mm wide, and weighs 3KG. there is 5467 parts to the...

Well the first half of the Airbox is now complete and the second one as 3/4's finished, all that is left to do is the throttle bodies and mounting it and then it is complete... :):D(I am more interested in finishing the model than going to work right now...:shifty:.)

Update Time, 95% Complete The bell housing is now complete and installed on the engine, just the inlet airbox to go... Bell housing inside view. Bell Housing Bell houysing fitted to the engine. The final length of the model is 800mm The height and width will only be finalized when the...

Update time, the model is now 90% COMPLETE !!! I have now added the timeing cover, the exhausts, inlet ports, and the fuel injection rail. This would now complete the Block and Head assemblies. I have just the Bell housing and Airbox to complete and the model will complete. Here is a few photos...

Cool, looks good :-)

Well after all of the work that has gone into the cylinder heads and assembly to the engine, not forgetting the wiring up of the engine for the LED spark plugs, it is now time for a project update photos as the model stands right now. now the next part of the build is going to be the...

oops :banghead::wacky: :bag::) Thanks Z

You found the picture that I had in mind that I saw some time back :), for the model I will no include the spin as it is not really needed and if I do it is more just to get better tension on the rocker :cigar:arms. :cigar:

Thanks for the photo Zathros, I can see how the engines have changed over the years with the placing of the cams for the desmo setup. Now days Dutati combines the cams into one cam assembly as to cut down on the number moving parts. I may at the end of the day combine both the new...

The wooden dwells have been used in the V12 engine already but only in the cam shafts, I was going to join the cams one by one with filler rolls but that would also not have worked and the dwells was the next best thing. but what I should have done is used the dwells for the gears for carring...

Having a good look that may help fix the gaps, but there is so much play on the whole model that would fail somewhere else, of even wear itself out, I only figured out why I was having thin paper shavings coming out of the model as I also did not take into account the direction of movement and...

I have now got all 12 heads in place, I have had a good look to see why the engine does not want to turn over and the problem is the gearing in that with me having to make the gaps and holes of the gears more on the open side of the tolerence scale which is fine for a free moving model, but when...

A little bit of sad news, I have glued 10 of the 12 heads in place and what I have found is that the engines crank is not going to be able to take the torque required to have the engine turn over. I am still going to do the engine timing so that it is correct. Even if I made the the crank...
