Beautiful work so far Joachim 👍

Joachim F.
Thanks Rui and Sebastian - the ICM kit really makes it easy 😉

Great Karl - now I want lasagna!
I've experimented with thick aluminum foil and it's either too stiff, or it buckles too early.
Lead foil (from a wine bottle) seems to be more forgiving.

So the cushion is lead foil? The work on the engine looks great, and I'm watching these other skills and techniques with interest 👍🙂

Joachim F.
Indeed, it is! I went a little overboard with the rivetting wheel and now th stitching is a little too heavy.
A slight buffing might do the trick..

very nice engine. cushion looks good. i have been collecting aluminium foil for a long time. all kind of thickneses can be found 🙂

Joachim F.
Thanks Spanjaard - aren't we all colelctors of things that might be useful sometime? 😄
Karl, almost completely agreed. For me it's not about the finished model itself but the path that leads there.
Trying out new things, learning soemthing from failure and maybe improve some techniques/skills a little - that's my reward 😉

Spanjaard
And enjoying looking at them and knowing all that you put in there, even if nobody can see it anymore 😉

Yap, my wife says I'm accumulating trash but she also always ask me if I want to keep stuff she finds and may have some use 😉

Michael Kohl
