I can quite see how you treat every section or phase as a mini-project Mike, with the complexity of the total project to consider it all at one go would be a bit on the daunting side I fear!  It's the complexity of the engine as a whole, I think, that helps establish the progress made as being so magnificent.

Put my name down for one of your action man models with the crash hats and steering wheel for when you market them too!!!   :whoohoo:  :Jester:

Hello Chris,

Before you finally decide, did you know there will also a range of accessories in the "made by Vixen" series?



But unfortunately, you will not be able to order one of these either. :Jester:  :lolb:

They only exist in the memory of the AI bot, ChatGPT.  All you need to do is upload a photo and four or five lines to describe what you want to see or what changes you may want it to make; then less than five minutes latter, it sends you your requested image of a bubble packed action figure. The power of ChatGPT is frightening, I have only played with some simple image creation, but already I have learned never to trust any images as being real, ever again.      So this is a glimpse of the future.    :facepalm:

Well that's a whole day wasted, just playing about with AI, when I could have started work on the next mini-project; which is the flywheel and clutch at the rear of the engine. Maybe tomorrow?   :shrug:

Cheers   :cheers:

Mike

It is the journey that matters, not the destination

Sometimes, it can be a long and winding road

Hi Chris,

The Halloween edition was considered far too scary for the general public, so it was removed from the virtual shelves  :lolb: :lolb:
