Not what you think, it's a steam engine.
Marv, avert your eyes.  :disappointed:

Very nice Dennis :ThumbsUp:

How have you finished it? The base looks like it has been chromed.

I'm sure Elmer never intended the #11 Radial to look so good!  The cylinders and exposed studs look superb.  I hope a video will follow.

Kind regards

That is a good looking engine.  I like it, particularly the base. What color are you going to paint it?

There are things that you can do and some things you can't do. Don't worry about it. try it anyway.

Thanks for the nice comments, fellow enthusiasts!

Jo, it is all highly-polished aluminum and brass w/copper steam pipe sleeve.

Jerry, I thought about "Metal Butcher Green".  :Lol: He's been an inspiration for a number of projects. Where the heck IS he?

Wow!  Very blingalacious.  I viewed it through my welding goggles but I'm still seeing after-images.

I promise not to say anything about how accomplished you are at polishing your Elmer.  Really, I promise.
