Quick update,

43.9k PlanesOfOld  7.3 years ago

Will be away without any internet connection for 5 days, May take my laptop and keep building.

I am currently Building,

XVI Portable Steam engine, currently has 437 parts and I'm far from done,

XVI Neptune, a huge twin deck private yacht with a detailed interior, I have just finished detailing the galley.

Sir Henry Seagraves golden arrow Land Speed Record Car

Gloster VI Schneider Trophy Seaplane

Napier lion engine for the above two and many more projects.

And the Fumus Bovi Traction engine that is a complete nightmare that I really don't have the patience and knowledge to fix (if anyone wants to be annoyed at pistons gears and wheels for a large portion of time and fix the bloody thing please feel free to volunteer!)

TO BE EXPECTED IN NEAR FUTURE:

HMS Dreadnaught 1906, I have downloaded a few dozen images and blueprints and now have to get them printed on A3

Anything with a Napier lion engine

Many more cars

some tractors

some steam engines

and some industrial/agricultural machines from Victorian Britain.

    I was adding more detail, but it just didn't look right, it looked to crowded and I think it looks nicer like this, :) @Gemista

    Have just finished mapping shape of deck to 1;1 scale of 104ft9in do you mind if the bow does not curve outwards? (it would be a pain in the donkey if you know what I mean) I expect at my current rate of building to have the hull done and floating tomorrow or the day after.
