Len Mason's "Mastiff" - chewed from the solid

I hope you can make the drawings available. I have the book, but the print quality of the drawings makes them unreadable. It looks like they took original pencil drawings and reduced them to fit the book and the  line width is so tiny the drawings are useless. I wanted to build this years ago, I bought the book when I attended an ME show, about 1994 I think.

Roger B:
This looks to be an interesting project, I wish you every success  :ThumbsUp:  :ThumbsUp:  :wine1:

Actually I make all my engines from solid. From the solid modeling you posted it doesn't look like there is a lot of complex details (fillets, bosses etc) to contend with so it shouldn't really be too big of a job.
The only thing I can advise is to do all the hole drilling (major holes) and internal cavities first. The reason being is once the outside has metal removed and there aren't many square surfaces left it's hard to clamp or fixture the part to do the internals.
Good luck on your project. I will be following along to watch the progress.
