I finally found time to finish the engine for this scratch build. I used as much real metal as possible to make this engine hence the slow progress. The spark plugs are from RB Motion which are turned from aluminium, a brilliant product, I added the ignition leads today. I also made and fitted all the water pipes which are made from various sizes of copper tube. Because the engine is metal I sprayed the entire engine with a few coats of full gloss clear, this will stop it tarnishing. There are still a few more smaller pipes to be added but these will go on when the radiators are fitted.

Brilliant work, Des! The fact that it's all metal makes it even better. You have amazing metal working skills. It looks as if it could fire up!
