That's looking rather good.

Just goes to show you don't need castings to enjoy yourself :LittleDevil:

A beauty! It is a very nice and good looking engine !
I have looked for a while of drawings for that engine , where do I find it in 1/4 scale and is there drawings to mill the housing?
Just have to build my new shop first and finish my Hodgson 9  :thinking:

As Jo said strictly IC for the drawings they are for using castings but there's enough info to machine from billet with a bit of planning, I always machine the inside first so its easier to hold in the machine vice.

 Cheers Jason.
