Ok so, here's where I'm at as of today.
Aside from the carburators, the engine is done. I now have what I like to call a 'digital rolling chassis'. I hope to have a real one soon.
Here are some pictures.
The completed chassis
The radiator.
I test printed ones of the hose clamps to make sure it's printable. The 2 wires going around the hose are barely. 020 "in diameter.
The fuel pump, distributer, coil and rocker arms oil feeding valve.
The intake manifold above the exhaust manifold.
I've taken an idea given to me by Big Messer from the "model car magazine" forum and modified the bloc and head so that the no 1 piston area is transparent. Depending on how translucide the resin is, it might work. I'm even thinking of hiding a pico led in the spark plug to illuminate the area. Really not sure about this last bit.
Now on to the carburators...
On another front, It has been said on another post that a static model should not have moving parts. I'm sorry but I strongly disagree. I replicate things that move, why shouldn't I "try" (operative word here) to go as far as I can in the reproduction process. It doesn't always work as planned but when it does, it's very satisfying. And once done, I forget about it and move on to the next.
