Hello, everyone! I have to apologize to you all for my absence. It seems that 1:1 scale adult things sometimes rear their ugly heads and demand our attention. The drama with Barbara's Dad continues.
  Here are some more in progress shots of the Canuck Project. My intention is not to build any more engine detail that isn't visible with the hoods on. Each cylinder head comprises two TAURUS valve springs, one TAURUS spark plug, GRANDTLINE HO queen post, photo-etch letter "H" and a PART kitchen spoon handle for the rocker arm itself. This completely complies with mantra: Cheap & Easy every time. Also shown are the patterns for the main hood, and the radiator to be formed from brass. Thank you all very much for looking.
Pietro

Great to see you back on with this build Pietro, the engine is looking really special as is the rest of the model.

That's lovely Pietro...

Pietro,
   I missed your end Sept. update, nice to see this one "back in the lights". Great work all round, the engine work is superb and overall this is a very impressive Build, keep it coming. Best wishes to Barbara's Dad as well, sounds like he's quite a character with just "a mere modicum of life experience"! ;)
Cheers,
Lance

Outstanding work on the engine, Pietro!  My eye is drawn to the top wing center section.  It looks so real.
Cheers,
Bud
