Well the model is finally complete, and I have uploaded it to the downloads section, All that is needed is for it to be approved and then one can start building. The download version I have made the text for the assembling of the part mush smaller and a bit of tidy up as well. I have aslo...

I found his name in the members list but no webpage, any idea what it is?

Hi All While I am still busy working on the V12 Engine which I am still busy building all the parts for the cylinder head I have decieded something fun, and take a few days break in the building of the engine. I have gone and designed a puzzle cube, and get it to work out like the plastic...

Update Time I have at last completed the first cylinder head that will be used in the model, just 11 to go.... Here is a few photos of the first cylinder head. Valve's closed Valve's all Open This I guess can be considered the worlds first working cylinder...

Got a reply back from Backmann, one must just cut the track of the piece that is connecting into the 45 degree cross to get it to work.....

Thanks Lighter, I have started a post at the Backmann factory forum to see if they can help out. R

Hi All I was given a Backmman set which makes use of the E-Z tracks which great for me in that I do not have the space to do a full and fixed setup like one can do with the Atlas tracks and parts. In the set there is a 45 degree cross and I am having questions in how the part works, when I...

Pity... I have worked with these types of switches in the past, the one is the cost of the switches and also getting hold of them, I have tried to get info and shipping times in the past for electronic components from more than one supplier and as soon as you say where that item (s) needed to be...

excellent post, thanks

Update time... After 2 months of building and redesigning and building and modifying and correcting, at 10pm last night I have finally got the valve and cam shaft to work and the design to also be repeatable for building. There has been problems mostly around angles and tolerences of parts...

cool, well done :-)

I know what is wrong witht he model, the ink from the printer is making the paper bend and change shape, and this will happen when the paper that the model is been built out of is to thin and the paper the will change it's shape. Going to thicker paper will help but maybe setting to printer to...

well done they look good, Some good memories from the 80's renders !!

Thanks Z I do in fact have a potertimeter in the electronics to slow it down, I just ran the motor at full speed to make sure that the model could do it, but I will most likely run it slower, The valve train will be open to see the parts working, what I have done is that if one wants to close...

Well at last after months of work and 1 re-design later and the timing section of the model is now complete. Here is a few build photos from this section of work. At the Start of the timing plate Completed internals Completed timing plate Timing ring Timing...

Hi All In this case it is not the space related craft, but instead the Sword, Back in 2009 around the same time I was just starting out with paper modeling I was busy working on this sword on the same lines as Excalibur but my version, it is based on the long swords of the middle ages and in...

You are right Max has a better render engine and that is what I did in this case, rendered in MAX and the design work was done the AutoCAD :-) :thumb:

boat looks good :-) Cool

Well a bit of an update on the engine build, bad news the engine gear work that I have for the last 2 months or so has been a bit of a problem, the ratio that one needs to get the crank to the cam is 2:1 step down in speed for a 4 stroke engine which fine buyt the way that I have gone about...

Looks good :-)
