Title: Bentley Br2 1:32
Post by: taurusmodels on October 04, 2014, 09:25:33 PM: Last time I had really lot of work. But hope, I menaged, and find some time for modelling :)

I started Bentley Br2. My friend Simon helped me with documentation. I have photos of each screw, each washer in this engine. From this reason, I have the only objective: ANY COMPROMISES!!! Each screw will be reproduced with any simplification. It could be really difficult, but I'll try.
This engine will be done as a separate and complete model with a stand for exposition.

A few pictures of my work. This will be a build log, I'll suplement this with a new pix.

The cylinders base:

If you see any mistakes, inaccuracies - let me know, please - I'll correct it.

Thanks for watching, Lukasz

Title: Re: Bentley Br2 1:32
Post by: eindecker on October 13, 2014, 09:00:33 AM: Thanks for taking the time to document the development process for this engine. I am fascinated by your attention to detail, and ability to bring that to resin castings. Outstanding.

This means I will have to go ahead with that WnW Sopwith Snipe kit in anticipation of this engine. I think it calls for a simple diorama scene in which the cowling has been removed, or the engine itself has been dismounted for maintenance or repair.

I'm looking forward to more. Well done!

Post by: taurusmodels on November 07, 2014, 07:47:46 AM: Tomorrow I start "fighting" with cyllinders head. It's the most problematic part in this engine in my oppinion. But I'll try...
Today, for resting, I tried to fit propeller mount - it works!!!! I easily assembled it:

Post by: kornbeef on November 07, 2014, 09:29:37 AM: Lucasz

So I looked at the first few images and thought "Yes that's nice and well done" Then I saw the ones held in your fingers and realised just how intricate it is. Once I picked my jaw up off the keyboard I managed to type "Incredible!" So then say the prop boss assembled and now my chin is bruised twice! ;) ;D

Title: Re: Bentley Br2 1:32
Post by: taurusmodels on November 17, 2014, 09:08:48 AM: Believe me or not, but this element took me two weeks! I regret to say, it is far from my expectation :-\ . I'm not going to do this once again - I tried seven times, "killed" all my bits and need to wait for new ones about two weeks. So it must stay as it is for this time. I'll try to correct it just a little, but I need to make "check point" (cast of this element). It's my horror - cylinder's head...

(http://www.taurusmodels.pl/img/bentley/ch1.jpg)
(http://www.taurusmodels.pl/img/bentley/ch2.jpg)

And bolt for cylinders attaching (this is not bad):
(http://www.taurusmodels.pl/img/bentley/cb1.jpg)

I'm getting older... when I had been preparing Oberursel UrII in 1:48 I had only knife and needles. Now I have really nice equipment and still something goes wrong. Maybe it's time for glasses ;D

All the best, Lukasz

Title: Re: Bentley Br2 1:32
Post by: taurusmodels on November 19, 2014, 01:40:45 AM: And test fitting. It works!
Do not look at the cast quality - I demolded it too early and damaged ribs. But it fits! Now I can correct and finish cylinder's head.

Post by: taurusmodels on January 19, 2015, 06:39:46 AM: I recovered my work!!!!

Let imagine: during final casting of FINISHED cylinder's head I missed silicon oil with cyanoacrylate glue!!! It was in the same cups :/ it was disaster...
I waited a week, and try to recover my work. It's not perfect, but acceptable. Below you can see test assembly of cylinder

Des.

Des... It's really difficult question... Sometimes everything goes right, and I'm thinking that only a few weeks, but sometimes I must fight (like in the case of cylinders heads) and I think that it would be a few years...

I'm going to prepare this engine with repair stand and full equipment - hope I'll finish within a month or two...under condition everything goes OK :)

By the way: HAVE YOU ANY PICTURES OF REPAIR STAND FOR Rotary engines?

All the best, Lukasz
Title: Re: Bentley Br2 1:32
Post by: Des on January 25, 2015, 07:42:31 AM: Thanks very much Lukasz, a repair stand and full equipment will make it a dream for anyone wanting to make a diorama. I'm looking forward to seeing this engine released.

Sorry, it's our "Polish" talks :)
piernik means gingerbread (such a cake), but "piernik" sounds more funny :) It means also (in Polish) old fogey :)

Post by: taurusmodels on April 20, 2015, 01:59:42 AM: I know, I promised to prepare magneto and switchers, but I couldn't....
I was going also to do fuel control unit for Albatros - forgive me Justin - I couldn't stop from finishing thrust box for Bentley. It was real challenge - those bolts has diameter only 0.28mm - it was the smallest bolt, I've ever prepared. But it's ready, and was quite pleasure to do.

Please do not look at painting - I tested tensochromes... it not works correctly, I'll stay with citadel washes :/

So far 154 parts, and next 121 in preparing. Final engine will have in the simplest version 275 parts (at least). Assembling of this can be real challenge....

TVAL are producing new build BR2 rotary engines and this one is virtually brand new, fitted to their latest Snipe E7643. Your workmanship is extraordinary and I am posting these photos to show (and celebrate) the accuracy you have achieved.

It's what I'm waiting for also :) I'm working on it currently, simultaneous with finishing forms and boxes. Hope it will be really soon. I can tell you, that even engine's "interior" will be displayed (central support with electric connections) - it's almost done, pictures soon. Also stand (trestle? I don't know proper name) will be included.

All the best, Lukasz
Title: Re: Bentley Br2 1:32
Post by: taurusmodels on July 20, 2015, 12:26:41 AM: There will be little delay with Bentley.... :/
A few parts are IMPOSSIBLE for casting - after first casting I thought, that all is OK, but next casts are damaged. The form can be used once!!!!

I decided to rebuild some of parts. I do everything in order to have exact 1:32 projection of Bentley Br2!!!!! There will be any simplification, and I'll manage!!!!!

Other parts has been damaged as a result of the HOT WEATHER (!!!!) - all parts are extremely fragile... I'll try to keep it in the fridge. I'll be selling in foam - it's the only solution.

Just for relax, I prepared this:

the wooden stand:

And extremely helpful thing: side spanner for the spark plugs setting. It was possible thanks to Eugeny from SmallStuff - THANK YOU EUGENY!!!! - he agreed for using of his idea

After my coming back I'll finish boxes and at the end of August engine will be available.
I must to tell you, that Br2 will be available only in the very limited number 100-200 (depending on a forms and matrixes resistance), but I'm going to keep the highest possible quality. For me it's more then model, hope you will like it :)

Thanks a lot for responses, I've booked Br2 from first casting for all of you. All my forms are for 10 elements, so first engines are like a master. I decided to certify these engines by a stamp.

Now I start to assembly the engine to make a front of box. You will see it tomorrow :)

Finally ready. I was going to start selling from now, but I have to wait just a little for protective foams (parts are really fragile!) and box covers. Now engine is available as a pre-order (of course all of you, who booked engines have a first cast series) I will have everything at Wednesday.

Concerning to building - It was little challenging. I had to correct crankcase - I pre-drilled wholes for mounting of cylinders, but a few were slightly shifted, and maintaining correct geometry was impossible. Fortunately I had a "backup" of an early stage and was able to correct it. Evening I'll start a new topic - "how to build Br2" or similar with step-by step building :)

Could you look at the project of the box? If you see any mistake, let me know. Of course not for free :) each mistake = a set from Taurus :)

Hi Lukasz,

WOW, Just wow..... I just read the whole thread and you blow me away sir!

Having just completed your amazing Gnome Monosoupape 100hp British rotary engine I can't even comprehend how these are made from scratch - it left me physically and mentally exhausted - But I'm now addicted to your amazing models!

In regards to your question I would say either "First Casting Certificate of Authenticity" or "Limited Edition First Casting Certificate of Authenticity"

And Yes put me down for one! I have a Snipe that is dying to meet this beauty!

I suggest you simply say "Certified first casting run" and number it, e.g. "Set #3", and sign it.

Sounding better but then "Certified First Casting" I think is better sounding and again maybe: "Set #1 of 50" (This is normal with limited runs as otherwise the manufacturer can just keep adding numbers to the list after the first run :D)

Oh yes and please sign it!

Post by: taurusmodels on August 23, 2015, 06:53:31 PM: Thanks a lot!!! It's what I meant - I think "Certified First Casting Run" is OK :)

Concerning to numbering - it makes no sense - I have forms for 10 pieces, so each of 10 first pieces are first. And only this run will be certified. I must stress, that this certificate will be rather only for collectors - I'm not going to release poor quality parts - I can assure, that each of cast will be the highest quality. Moreover, I'll prepare a new forms after each 4-5 runs in order to maintain the highest quality - it's the reason that this engine will be limited - I'm not sure is matrixes allows on a multiple forms making.

Thanks a lot for all of you once again,

all the best, Lukasz

I think in this usage, "Run" means a specific number of kits produced. If you drop "Run" then it implies that there is only one "Certified First Casting". I say keep it as it is.

Ps Hurry up wingnut wings we need a camel to put this in

Speaking of Camels, will the Bentley fit in the standard Camel cowl? I know Bentleys were one of the main engines used for Snipes, but Camels usually came with LeRhones and Clergets. Many fewer had Bentleys. I'm just wondering if the Camel would need a special, non standard cowl.

I's better now, but I've little delay - I was going to dispatch all pre-orders yesterday. tough luck, I'm sending Monday - it's yours orders :)
(http://www.taurusmodels.pl/img/bentley/ready.jpg)
And finally Bentley is available :)
I'm finishing detailed instruction and documentation in my www. Also step-by-step build will be in the forum within few hours.
All the best, Lukasz

P.S. Jamo - you're right. Snipe needs only little sanding.

I'm glad you recovered and don't worry about the delay as it looks incredible!

It also looks I was able to get one of the 1st 50 to be released!!!

Post by: Pgtaylorart on September 10, 2015, 02:27:15 PM: Gregory,
They are all earmarked for specific projects. The Bentley is for a Snipe, of course. The four Oberursels are for a Fokker E.I, E.II, E.III, and an E.IV. One of the Gnomes is already built and is going in my DH.2 which I am currently building. The other Gnome is still awaiting an assignment. I love these little jewels so much, they are complete models in their own right. :)
