Ultma Supa-model

[3Dee]

Remember those nice little model kits that Ted & Co got made for all us sad-blokes?

Well, then maybe I have found something to renew and refresh that interest and maybe get some more sold at Stoneleigh.......to help pay for Teds pension! (sorry Ted!)

I have seen things like this, there is a museum near my home that has several of these type engines on display.
I have been a manufacturing jeweler for 40 years, and I am amazed at the incredible craftsmanship & time this takes.
Imagine the bolts & threads,valves, piston rings etc….
Like a fine watch, except for the stress of heat, this is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
