Vesa Jussila Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Basically this six was 911 engine. If you take something from same period main things should be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted April 17, 2021 Author Share Posted April 17, 2021 Hi all sorry for the lack of posts but life gets in the way sometimes, it's been quite hectic of late and now swmbo wanted the hot tub back out which required fixing the gazebo, which I started thursday and partially tore my bicep in the process. What that means is if the job requires me lifting my arm at more than waist hight it is absolute agony so things may still be slow. Anyway I made a start on scratch building the flat six engine for this, it's very crude but painting can help disguise a lot (hopefully) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 Hi all more work scratch building the 6 cylinder engine (sorry its not that great , wish I was working on 1/8) also added some pics of the 4cylinder engine that comes with the kit my pathetic attempt at depicting the one we have in the workshop doesn't do it justice but it's the best my meager abilities can do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted June 22, 2021 Author Share Posted June 22, 2021 OK so I tested the scratch build 6 cylinder engine for the 904 only to find it didn't fit, then I suddenly realised why, I was copying a 1/24 engine and of course the 904 is 1/25. What sort of idiot does that. So back to the drawing board (still the 4 cam engine that comes with the kit fits ok) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruston Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Could be a good opportunity to try casting a smaller copy using the silicon mould shrinking technique? It worked for me on my 904 wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
