A Fordillac flathead V-8 in 1/3 scale

Gentlemen,
I have a build thread going on the construction of this engine. It's on another forum and the reason it wasn't posted here also is because of the great amount of time it takes to 'double up."
That being said I have made a couple of videos of the completed or almost completed parts to date.
I thought that the members of this forum would like to see what I have been up to.

Absolutely amazing machining work, the videos were very interesting. I must follow the build on the other forum.

Very nice George !

I like to see your work sheet for all those rotary table moves. You really have to stay focused making those moves, and it is really easy to get distracted.

Well done.

Words can't describe what a great project that is. Will you be selling plans in the future for people to drool over?

As soon as the engine is complete the drawings will be also. As I go along I make the necessary changes and additions to the drawings. This way everything is proven out before I release them.

I wish I had 1/10 th of the Talent George has. About the best work I have seen on every model he built. Amazing work for sure!

Truly another magnificent triumph given to the World of Model Engineers by the extraordinarily talented Mr. Britnell. A V-Twin, Straight-4, Straight-6, V-8s...is there anything that this man can't do?

What a Non Plus Ultra legacy.... written in nuts and bolts, pistons and con-rods!

That's just amazing. I admire the attention you put into doing this without cnc.

And I really appreciate you sharing all your work.

George,
My CNC parts don't come out looking that good, especially considering the long cutters that it looks like you used. The focus needed to manually control three and sometimes four axes to mill that crankcase, pan, and manifold is beyond my comprehension. - Terry
