monthebiff Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Yours is bookmarked as my reference Andy!! :) Very kind of you Max but I am so interested to see how you go around the cockpit build and in particular the SM installation and see how it compares with the work I did on this area ! Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 I haven't managed to post anything for a while but in my spare moments I've been getting on slowly with the DB605B build. Working on adding some slightly more realistic piping right now, it will be painted dull silver when complete: Bill Cross, monthebiff, D.B. Andrus and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Cross Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Where did you get that ribbed piping? It would be perfect of oxygen mask piping. mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Lovely job Max, you have my attention and very interested to see you install your fantastic engine when its time! Regards. Andy mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Thank you all, I love a good engine and can't resist tarting it up! I've checked and discovered that the engine bearers don't fit to this engine like they do to the kit ones but adapting it is simple enough so I don't anticipate any problems. I'll post pics of the finished engine tomorrow. Ah, forgot to mention Bill, the ribbed piping was part of a cheap piece of jewellery that I found and recognised its possibilities! I've had it a few years and been very frugal in its use! 😳 Edited June 19, 2018 by mozart Bill Cross 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlow Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Where did you get that ribbed piping? It would be perfect of oxygen mask piping. Bill Guitar strings are a good alternative. Multiple sizes, easy-ish to bend when annealed and they can be sanded if you want the flat look of the piece above. Matt Edit - very rude of me not to mention what a nice job you're doing Max .

Dukie99 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Great job, I love the fan behind the mesh on the engine, looks good. David mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozart Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Yes you're right Matt, guitar strings are an alternative but the beauty of this stuff is that it's hollow so a suitable sized piece of wire can be run through it and then bent to shape. I put the insulating plastic back on in a couple of places to represent metal sleeving. mattlow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
