I think he is really a hologram when 'we' see him.

I reckon he really lives in an underground bunker, with numerous holograms or clones, now trained to model around the clock.
He only posts their combined progress here to make us think we are slow in building.

A cunning plan, don't you think. World domination is perhaps his final goal???

I have a lot of minions to do my bidding, just like in Despicable me. maybe that is me?
Smarty pants answer - thanks Tony!
I can't even dominate my world never mind the whole world.

Some more progress this afternoon, about 3 hours modelling, this is proving quite difficult, no plans and the gearing may just have to look something like.
Yes, the drive belt for the governor is Tamiya tape, you will never know when it is painted.

Is the chimney wrapped? How did you achieve that?

I used a piece of plastic tube and then wrapped a triangular piece of 10 thousand plastic card round it to achieve the taper. The joints were then sanded and filled. I will see how smooth it is after an undercoat.

Hi Zak, or is it clone 23?

I really like the look of this project. That chimney/smoke stack is very interesting, I think your idea of triangular card was inspired.
Great stuff, sorry about us giving you some banter, it just goes to show how jealous we are of you skills.
Keep them coming,

Well, it has been a wet morning and so I got on and did some more modelling.
The traction engine is coming along nicely.
Most pieces are just held in place without glue so if its not looking right that may be why.
Again if you enlarge the pictures the view is really cruel!

Looks like this article has been going for nearly a year - wow, I do seem to have made some stuff in the past year.

Well its been undercoated and now some rubbing down is required in various areas.
The chimney is not as smooth as I would like.
This may have to wait until after I have been on holiday.
The mug probably says it all!
