You have built it!  :o Well, I think I will get me that WNW Snipe to accompany this jewel.

That is your best engine you have built, Lukasz! And your painting is the best I've ever seen on a rotary engine! Wow, wow, and more wow!! I can't say enough!

Lukasz,
   That is just amazing! The detail you've designed into this masterpiece is beyond what I'd have thought possible, you can be very proud of this accomplishment. As already said by Des, it looks like the real engine, I'm running out of words!
   My unreserved compliments on some incredibly good work. :o 8)
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks a lot!

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 :)

box looks great.

I would suggest "wire" instead of "wires" -- unless there is more than 1 piece of wire in the box (i assume it's up to the modeler to cut them to length)

Should be 'Resin model of a British rotary engine Bently BR.2' OK,Ok, I confess! I am clutching at straws here in the hope of '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!
