That motor has a LOT of details!

There's more detail to come Had some time this afternoon so I added the injector pipes.

Now there's some fiddly stuff How did you get those nice radius's, Is the material soft enough just to bend over a round form?

Pretty easily actually. Used a pair of needle-nose pliers and bent them around that. It's 1mm copper wire, so relatively soft and pliable. Was more difficult with the 2mm copper wire I used for the oil feed.

Got frustrated waiting for my order to clear UK customs, so started work on a scratch-built Bedford RL body. And that of course prompted the delivery pixies to release my package from HMRC's pleasure, so it arrived. This box contains a donor Tamiya Hilux High Lift kit, and a GMade front steering kit.



Pretty stuck into the Bedford at the moment, so the Casspir will start when I have time to build the kit.

Started on the gearbox this afternoon. Straightforward as you'd expect - just getting worried about my guesses at scale for the the engine. Will see when I have the body shaped out...

If that's the gearbox
