How did I miss these truly amazing subjects? Will be very interested in buying your files once you are ready.

I take it you are planning to release in 1/16 scale but 1/10 is always a welcome addition.

This side isn't even finished, and there is still the bulk of the manifolding and a massively complex PTO stack to do on the other side

So on closer inspection of my photo's, that's no PTO on the left handside - its the starter donkey engine What I thought looked like a twin piston air compressor in the MiniArt model I am referencing, is actually a 2 cylinder petrol engine:

So more manifolding to model, and now I have to figure out where the distrubuter cap went as this examples spark plugs are clearly not connected to anything anymore
(I'm guessing they have an electric starter hidden somewhere)

Anyway, managed to get the basic shape done, tho it was hard to decern from tiny bits of plastic (and I don't have any good pictures of the lower sump as its hidden behind the frame rails). Not much to show for a full days work tho

Looking at the host chassis, I suspect that I am going to have to cut away most of the sump and Flywheel housing, but its getting to the point where I can start with some rough test prints to see how it all fits.
