G’day from Down Under

[RUSTYLES]

Thanks for accepting my membership. Just a quick rundown of my interests and experience. I have done numerous restorations of full size Hit and Miss engines but due age have now morphed into building scale model engines, I have completed a couple from casting kits, the most recent is a 1/3 scale model of Karl Benz motor wagon engine. I will try and add a photo but being new to the site it might not add. Planning on starting on another on model, so does anyone have a suggestion ? would like to do an American horizontal.
Cheers Rusty Les

G'day from Sydney.
Have you looked at EJ Winter ,Bolton Scale Models located in Bathurst NSW.
They do a half scale Rosebery type A hit and miss casting kit.

That is a great looking engine of Karl Benz.
And it looks like a Bengs Karl above it.

Hi Rusty, I have been trying to get plans or a casting kit for the Benz engine, but have not had any luck
Was wondering where you got yours from

Hi Rusty and welcome,
I'm just up the road from you in Toodyay, (Officially Nunile but no one knows where that is.) and recently joined this group.
Great looking engines and now that I can devote time to this hobby maybe I'll reach the level of skill displayed by other members including yourself.
Cheers
Paul
Seems there are a few Sandgropers on here?
