steamschooner Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share #155 Posted November 29, 2016 Just a teaser to show I have been working on my project. It's far from being done and there are a lot of temp pins holding things together. Once I have all the parts made than I will do the final assembly. cog, jbshan, Landlubber Mike and 15 others 18 Quote Zipper hydroplane(Miss Mabel ) finished John Cudahy Scratch build 1/4" scale Steam Tug 1914 Steam Tug Scratch build from HAMMS plans 1820 Pinky "Eagle" Scratch build from; American Ships Their Plans and History Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steamschooner Posted November 29, 2016 Author Share #158 Posted November 29, 2016 Gary, glad you like my engine it's been a interesting build so far. Michael, Some of it will get painted ,some will stay a brass look. Guess when I have It all together I will than decide what gets painted and what gets left alone. hexnut, FriedClams, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote Zipper hydroplane(Miss Mabel ) finished John Cudahy Scratch build 1/4" scale Steam Tug 1914 Steam Tug Scratch build from HAMMS plans 1820 Pinky "Eagle" Scratch build from; American Ships Their Plans and History Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the learner Posted January 22, 2017 Share #164 Posted January 22, 2017 Been awhile since I have visited your build of the Cudahy. Fantastic job on the steam engine. You might want to post in a separate build log the entire process from the drawings, molds and assembly of the engine.

steamschooner Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share #165 Posted January 22, 2017 Thanks everyone for the "likes" Learner a separate build log for the engine would be a lesson in what not to do. So many things did not go the way they should but I am still glad I foraged ahead and built it.

FriedClams Posted January 23, 2017 Share #166 Posted January 23, 2017 Hello Steve, I keep looking at your terrific engine and wondering what the base, frame uprights and top are made from. They really do look like cast iron - straight from the sand molds. Polymer clay?

Finished with black india ink. You can see more on posts 38-40. Glad you like my little engine.

FriedClams Posted January 23, 2017 Share #168 Posted January 23, 2017 Hey Steve, Sorry, I should have gone back and reviewed your log before asking that question. Don't know how I missed that.
