Wow, you've done an impressive job there!
Looks amazeballs, as for paint, black, silver and a ton of grease, oil, a bit of brown from leaky water joints and you will have a real work of art there. Must be some colour pics on the interweb, I'll get cracking. So when are you going into business? :D
Good stuff Will

P.s
How did you scale it to 1:16? Mine was based on poor mathematics and guesswork.
Again, lovely piece of work, don't mean to gush but I know a good bit of 3d printing when I see it! Lol
You've set a benchmark there. (New number one fan) :clap:

I took yours and kept same size. I must admit I assumed it was already scaled 1/16 based on its size.
That's the problem not having blueprints or dimensions.
The engine looks similar to the one linked in Wayne's post.
I obviously couldn't get same detail as I had only your model to.go.from. We can always tweak if needs be

For my needs here, the size looks right. I will make it work.
Does everyone agree it looks ok?
