Global Scale Modeller

I have started work on this big new kit.

First, the engine. Here it is, nearly finished:

Note that the name on the exhaust reads 'HERCUELS', rather than 'HERCULES'. Licensing problems, or just a spelling mistake?

From the other side:


It did need a bit of filler for the larger parts, but otherwise, fit is pretty good:


The engine has 77 parts on its own! And if I choose to build the tractor with the bonnet closed, you won't be able to see it at all.

While the engine was setting up, I started on the trailer:


More to come!

Awesome !

Wicked Jim!!!

This will be a cool one to follow. Awesome

looking real nice love the detail in it

It's just occurred to me that I didn't post a picture of what I'm building. Here it is:


And I finished building the engine. To give you an idea of how big it is, here it is next to a 1:35 scale figure:


I still need to add the wiring and fuel lines to the engine, and then it's on to the chassis.

Thats an impressive looking engine, holy crap.

Good start.

Thats a big'un.
