Airfix - Four Stroke Engine.

[Ray Dunakin]

Well done! Doesn't look at all like a plastic model.

[Wesleybeks]

I think that came out great Andi. One would never say its plastic.

Any chance of a size reference pic?

[Andi Little]

Here you go Wesley...........

A bit tongue in cheek but you should be able to gauge it from these assorted references?
The six inch ruler is obvious and the "block" is an exact inch - The figure is just for silliness plain and simple!!!




Cheers all, and many thanks for your encouragements.

Really a cool project! Glad you did it and took the time to share!

Cool!

Where did you get that character?

[Andi Little]

Ray ... he's a German cartoon character called "Werner". You can/could get a couple of figures of him to pose against his motorcycle - an example of which I "steampunked" many many years ago now. In fact so long ago that the phrase of "steampunking hadn't been coined yet - so perhaps I was at the vanguard of popular culture without even being aware of it.






I think the truth is more like I simply got sick of counting rivets, and whilst walking the dog one day noticed he seemed to have the most fun when he was just running around like an idiot - and I thinks to myself ...... "I could do that" ............ tadahh!

If you didn't actually build that beauty -- if it's a 3D rendering -- I will dispatch you forthwith to the corner. -- Russ

[Andi Little]

Ahh Bliss - the threat of banishment to the corner........... I've arrived at last, just one of the guys - made it, running with the big dogs!!!


Russ, no definitely NOT a 3D rendering, a rather ancient build actually - I do believe I have a build album of it somewhere??

Not sure if it would fit in here though - and it's actually quite crude by the site standards - it was a lot of silly fun though.





More sillyness ............ it is an air cooled cylinder - water cooled head, dry sump three and a half litre single cylinder 3 valve special.

And if anyone is still suspicious look at the front mudguard .............. "it's a spoon"!!!

Andi - 
Magnificent Motorcycle!
What's the scale?
If that's a spoon, it must be at least 1:12.

"Crude?" Gimme a break! It is satisfactory indeed. -- Russ

When viewing a model, if it brings a smile, it's well worth seeing. I love your motorcycle.

[Ray Dunakin]

I like it too, very creative!

What a splendid piece that Airfix motor is. I echo gordons comments and sentiments. Really brings a smile to my face.
