The cylinder is in silicone for casting, and the oil pan is underway...

Ok, I don't think everyone could see the actual direction of this in beginning stages, But... We got
some actual details coming into play now, This looks like eye candy to me!

Hope you like...

It has also been brought
to my attention that the early pics. are pretty vague unless you know exactly what you are looking at... 100%
understood! For those who don't understand what's being portrayed here, we'll try to clarify a bit.
Below is a WWI Mercedes D.III aircraft engine kit. This engine is the basic example for the customized engine
Tom Daniel used in the Red Baron kit.
The next picture is this kit engine below the 1/24 scale Red Baron engine, Minus the trumpeting exhaust.
Last but not least is the 1/8 scale version I am working on shown with the other two. I only have one of
the cylinders done, but with a little computer help, I can show it with all six. I hope this helps to show where
this project is going.

Just a little side step here, This thing won't be any good without those classic TD front tires. (just a mock up)

Ok, My last update of the year. I got the cylinder ready to cast, and the bolt & breather details done on the
exhaust side of the bottom of the block.
Enjoy!

Moving right along... No photo shop this time guys. These cylinders are not perfect, or cleaned up, but they are the first 6 out of the mold.
Every new mold has it's own characteristics... You have to learn what makes it tic, and how to get the best possible parts out of it.
I believe I have this one figured out. Back to work tomorrow, but we should have 6 perfect cylinders to work with soon! Enjoy!!!
