Thanks Bill.

Finished painting all the parts that needed a lick of colour.



I will leave them for a couple of days to dry and then start the assembly of the Monitor.  Fingers crossed.

Happy New Swarf Making Year to all my patient followers.

Hi Vince,

Nice running engine, very cool motion to watch.

Where did you get the plans from?  I see in the first post you mention someone named Julius, but I'm relatively new to this forum and I don't know who that is.  I did a quick search of the "plans" section and I didn't find anything.

Thanx!

You should find them here in both metric and imperial versions.

Thanks bouch.  Hope you managed to find the plans.

Just a quick update.  Engine has been re-assembled and running again. :)

Just waiting for a wooden base to complete the project.

After nearly two years, I am calling it finished.  Took some glamour shots and at the moment residing on a shelf in the company of the Corliss and Kiwi.













I still need to take a final video in it's current colour scheme.  Maybe tomorrow.
