That’s really beautiful!
I absolutely wish I had this level of patience

Terrific job!

That is cool seeing it working. Glad you stuck your hand in for scale. Do you have any plans for it to do any work?

Amazing work on that sterling engine! What a thing of beauty.

I you wanted it to be "functional" you could put a small blade on it and make a desktop fan

Quoted from Viggin900:

".... Do you have any plans for it to do any work?"

It can run the little pump for the cooling water, but not really anything else.
Stirling engines have virtually no power, and are difficult to govern the speed.
There is a reason that you don't see them in use nowadays.

The big ones are rare, expensive and difficult to move around.

no....it's more of a curiosity than anything else.

Someday I hope to ride on a steam engine for the same reason. They are getting pretty scarce.

Surprised the kids by painting up a few of their star wars army men... they love it and have been asking me to paint more. Need to get craft supplies beyond toothpicks for paintbrushes and Americana paint.

1/24 Studio Scale Y-Wing.

Made up with 3D printed/resin cast/original kit parts and plastruc parts.

I'm not much of a painter but it was a fun build.

Cheers

My father-in-law left me this cool little engine. It is new in the box, and has never been run.
I always loved these, and never thought that one would come my way some day!

That's from the 1950s and they sell for between $250-300 in eBay.

Bonus points for the hot mermaid.

Here's a pretty cool video showing that thing running, it hauls ass!

That's Awesome How many CC's are these?? I used to race on-road 4WD cars and also off-road buggies which were both 3.5cc. The on-road car got turned into a part scratch built dragster. Will have to excuse the condition it's in, been sitting around for many years so it's a bit grimy and the tires have gone to crap but surprised the engine still turns over. Last time i used it i stacked it big time and snapped the rear wing As a 4WD on-road car it would reach speed of about 120kmh.

Just finished Santa's Sleigh. Large scale monogram model I am going to use as a pinball topper for Corvette. I added lights and flocked the interior carpeting.

HO scale of the Rabbit Hash General store not far from here. If you around NKY I recommend stopping by and say hello to the locals.

A coat of paint and a little tweaking, and I'm all done!

And you have clocked all of your nuts and bolts for uniformity. Nice.
