Simply gorgeous, Louis!  That gun, it itself, was quite the project.

Thank you very much!!!


Hello!

The engine is started:







I made it in two parts to be able to easily put the binding that connects the two parts.
The lengths are calculated from the plan with more or less accuracy ... Ditto for the general shape of the engine block.

You can find the plan here:

The top of the cylinder head is flat:







The cylinders will be glued in pairs. we must also make a mold, making the two cylinders, gluing, sanding, decorate, remould them etc, etc ...

Thank you !!!


Hi !

I remade the cylinders entirely with evergreen plastic, I could not stick the small parts cleanly with superglue on the  resin parts, and their foot was too short. It was long and painful ...



The springs are made of copper wire (gold), found in "fly fishing" shop. It is thinner than the wire.

I wanted to make them conical. Well... believe me it is difficult to find the point suitable for winding the wire over.

Finally I 'm using an old needle (fine) my airbrush (Pasch).





Everything is covered with "surfacer".




Welds are plastic yarn stuck to the liquid adhesive and crushed with the back of the tweezers











The shape could have been crowned at the top ... but I do not want to start over.

Tomorrow I make the mold.


Regards
