Now there's a supreme example of a guy with way too much free time on his hands...

I would like to see the valve keepers? Or did he use a C clip that I see in the pic?
Capt Pat Way to much free time!

As a woodworker who has zero skill as a metalworker I am mightily impressed!

The next time my wife says she thinks I am spending too much time redoing my B33 I will show her this video!

I'll never say never...but I'll NEVER do that. I hate working on miniatures and small jobs in general.

I would much rather make a 1:1 scale model.

that was great...i like the real backdrops. we used to do that with architectural models.

i still have to give it to the guys whose engines actually work.
