So it's been over a month since I did anything and I finally managed to break myself away from my tablet... although not very far as it was right next to me. The lack of anything useful in my boxes of junk meant that I had to start from scratch and even the tubing that I had, I was a bit reluctant. The larger tube is from a party balloon stick, hence would likely need a spray paint due to the shiny coating. The front part of the engine was made with rectangles pieces with a slight slope to the front. Rather than any plan or measurement, I just made them and hoped for the best. It worked out nicely for the first, but no so much luck for the second one. I just hope it's not another month before making the rest of this. |
