| Beautiful work |

| That is sweet, what scale is it? |

| My... look at that! I'm guessing this is just test fitted? Because you still have to put the wiring harnesses on the front and back going to two spark plug holes per cylinder head? |

| Perfection!!! Brawo! |

| Thanks Guys-:)! Huey; it is about 1/14 scale. THAT is traceable to my printing out the plans and not checking the dimensions until I had built half of the model. Richard, Yes, there are more things to add. |

| WOW.

| How did you end up making the cylinder heads? All is incredible. |

| Make sure you put oil stains on it when your done. Radials don't leak oil, they just mark their territory. |

| You will chuckle how I did the Cylinder heads: I sanded down almost every surface of a spare 1/12 Williams Bros. cylinder to reduce the overall dimensions to about 80% of the original dimension, re-scribed the details then made a master RTV mold and cast the (9) new heads, touching them up here and there. I wouldn't recommend this method except to someone who is already a little bit daft:-) |

| Ingenious method you have there. The proof is in the work you achieved. I'll have to try that for some of the radials I'll need. And as for being a bit daft, we probably all fit that designation at some point. I wouldn't want it any other way. |

| WOW!! JFB!! |

| Have to agree with Creo. We're all a bit on the daft side. How else can we be great artist? |

| Great artists practices. |
