cool :-)

Looking good, keep posting pictures as you build. :-)

What I did was to take sheets and weight it, and repeat it with 20 sheets then divide it by the quanity of paper that I have weight and worked out to be the answer. In the case of the model, the model will weight less at the end of the day due to the paper that I am not using, it will...

Well it is time for an update on the devlopment work of the engine, I have now busy test building the piston, conrod, and cyclinder bore of the engine of which there is a few small mod's needed to get it spot on but here is the photos of the test build parts. More photos will follow...

the motor that I am using oddy enough when I was testing the circuits under no load the current did not chnage by much, at 1.5V the current was 115mA and at 6V which is the so called max voltage on the motor at no load it was 125mA when I loaded the motor to the point of near stall at 2.5V the...

Well the model build has now started, the first part of the model that I building and completing is the electronics for both the test build of the engine and final full build it requires the same electronic circuits. This photo shows the power supply circuit under devlopment test, and it...

After I have come out of the nut house, I am looking at doing the the Ducati Desmo valve setup, possibly the Ducati 996 or one of those versions, the valve setup I did in fact think about doing for this engine as to be totally 100% paper but the space and size of the valves and cam's would be...

Well at last the model is now completely flat packed, and there is a lot of papers and parts: The model is made of 107 unique papers The model will need 316 pages of paper :eek: The model will be made up of 6079 single parts that will make this engine a reality. that excludes the...

Sweet thanks Zathros, I am at the moment busy on a few parts of the engine, the flat packing of the fuel rails, timing cover, inlet manifold (this is a bit tricky in that I have make an internal frame to keep it up and straight). I am also looking at trying to get a nice way of explaining how to...

The only thing in the case of the model that I working on is that Yee has done it before, and the idea is the only thing that if has to be said is copied, but no where does it say that no one can copy an idea. Yee's model is a good arty model on a table at some fancy diner as a center piece as...

quite a good start with the rhino 3D, keep it up :-)

The scary thing is the size, when started the project I knew it was going to big, but now that I have put a few important sizes to the model, I know the wife is going to raise a eye brow or two with a few words but I will find a home for the master piece. First part of the build is to check...

At last the design work for the engine is 95% complete, only the timing cover, inlet manifold and the fuel rail needs to be flat packed and then the build can start. This model is not going to be a small build at all, as the above picture shows it is 737mm's long, by 383mm wide and...

Zathros I am using AutoCAD to do the modeling and from there I am also flat packing it in AutoCAD and for the more interesting part I am using Pepakura Designer 3 to get those shapes out. I may do a animation later but for now that is in the bucket list for the model. I have the following part...

Here is the next set of updates to the design of the engine, the cyclinder head is now complete. The next part is now getting the timing of the valves correct and flat packing the parts needed to build the heads :mrgreen::thumb: R

Well it is time for an update on the design of the engine, at the moment I am busy with the cyclinder head of the engine, this is where I am at the present moment in time. The springs are going to be made from steel wire, this is most likely one a of the few times that paper will not be...

Thanks Zathros The model in fact is standard size, I have printed all the parts on A4 paper and built it from there, in some cases there is a few parts that have been better if I did scale it up. the one thing with this model is that with it been so complex is that some parts when you build...

At last the V-Max is now complete, 745 parts and 6 months of building for only 2-3 hours at night the model is done. Here is the final assemly build photo's Enjoy

Here is the next load of the build photo's, the radiator and the exhaurst pipes. R

Next update, now that the circuit diagram and circuitery is now designed, the timing for the spark plug lights can now be completed I have not shown the wires but the is an opening for the wires to move back the circuit board. R
