Just registered, having seen some beautiful work and ingenious machining setups. My project is bigger than most on the site, in fact not a model at all (sorry) but a 2.5" x 5" replica Herreshoff steam engine, based on partial archive drawings at MIT Museum. Here are the base and frame sitting in the boat, which is 20 feet so not a model either, sorry again. The cylinder patternmaking is the tricky bit still to finish. John

Welcome to the forum!
Models, especially when as nice-looking as that, still grab my attention, even when built at 1:1 scale. ;D Great work, I'd like to see more of it.
 
John,

Sorry??? About a beautiful bit of work like that? Don't be, just keep us up to date with your progress.

And welcome!
 
Welcome to the forum.

What they said!

And I'm very interested too. I saw something similar in a museum a few months ago. This is an eye-catcher too.

Welcome to HMEM.

Looks like you have a great project going. I am going to enjoy watching and reading as it progresses. What you have finished to date certainly looks first class. :bow: :bow:


Cheers :)
