Wow this work is outstanding – give us more!!!

Mikael

Thanks for the encouragement. I almost have the parts for the engine finished. Will post soon.

Mark

Mark...a totally awesome job...and I definitely want a set of the PE you've designed in 1/48...can't wait to attempt the build myself...only hoping that it comes out 1/2 as good as yours!!! Les

I too like what you did with the tail surfaces, looking really good. You know, you just might be able to market this on a limited basis. Pre-cut the parts, include the P.E. fret. Looking forward to more.

Best
Mark

how is the build coming along Mark ?

Sorry for the delay, mired in work, will have something shortly...promise.

Mark

OK, Still more work to go but I have some progress to show on the engine. I had to go back and remake some parts for easier casting in resin - two steps forward, one back, but I'm happy with the parts now.




The cylinder...........



the rocker box (still incomplete)............



the engine block.............





resin copies................



and a test fit of a few cylinders................




I feel like I'm back on track with the build. More soon,

mark

Mark, great work as usual.

Thanks for sharing with us.

Bob

Very nicely done Mark Your engine will have a fair bit of detailing to it - perfect I'm excited to see you back on with this project Mark , always look forward to your builds , learn so much on how you do things . It's great inspiration . Looking forward to the next run of up-dates

Totally in AWE, brilliant work

Thanks Bob, Terri, Gregory, and Dave. I'm working feverishly on the engine to get a painted example ready to post. Half of my resin and casting materials arrived yesterday and the rest should come today or tomorrow so I'll be able to do resin copies of the fuselage this weekend.

thanks for checking in,

Mark

I've finished up one side of the engine with water circulation plumbing, here are the results...........







more soon,

Mark

It's very beautiful!!!

Regards

Yes!!! Trully beautifull.

Thanks Louis and Dimitris. All of that meticulous drawing and measuring I did in the early stages of the development of the engine and photoetch sheet is paying off.

I finished the air intake on the other side of the engine.......







and here are my fingers in the picture so you can see the size of the engine.......



that just about does it for the engine block except for the prop shaft, next I'll be finishing the cylinders and other plumbing


Mark

I like it!

If you ever go into production Sir I would love to buy one!

** bows at feet **

I am not worthy, I am not worthy...

I had to reduce the picture of your thumb by 44% to match the size of my own thumb,cutting edge stuff,lovely to see!
What i love about this forum is that it's the best modelling magazine ever,and getting better all the time.

Thanks guys, all of the great modelers here keep me on my toes.

Mark

After several tries I finally made a prop shaft I was happy with...................






More soon,

Mark

Mark,
The engine block is very impressive work my friend.Is what we see carved from plastic or a casting from a master?At any rate that's outstanding details you've included.I can't wait to see the finished engine,it's going to be something to see.LOL but for the next update get a better Hand Model.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

This is just getting better and better with every up-date !

Thanks Terri!

Gregory, those are casting from the masters, I'll actually be building two W.13's and am making the masters in a way that I can cast them and make as many copies as I need.

Mark

PS - I'll have you know my hands are on the cover of the lastest issue of "Extreme Hand Modeling Magazine"

Mark,

You weren't joking at the end of your Halberstadt build when you wrote about something special! You are entering the Wojtek zone with this one! I am thoroughly enjoying this project.
