I got to open the box today. Whoo boy there are a lot of parts!

 

I like wrenching on cars.
I might get more of a chance than i wanted since the kid blew up the clutch in the mazda.
and when i say blew up, it does nothing, I could almost believe he snapped of the internal drive of he clutch or stripped the primary drive.
Both scenarios are hard to fathom while driving on a highway.

 

Enjoy...

I've seen videos of people just dumping the bags of parts all over a table and searching for what they need. I tend to sort into cups and tupperware containers by color, style, or some combination. Then just find the right cup to get that part.

I'm curious how Cindy tackles that part. She has 6000+ pieces to deal with.

 

I am thinking of building this one.


It looks interesting.

 

Happy B-day Scoot.

 

I've seen a ton of micro engine build kits lately. They do look interesting and take up much less space.

 

I started the Space Shuttle today. I understand why they say 18+ on the box.

 

Box 4 of 6 done. This one took quite a bit.., I did a whole lot of 15-20 minute sessions instead of longer ones,

^^Nice. That looks far more complicated then the Space Shuttle.

Are you finding a lot of little parts left over? I did on the Shuttle. I have a bag for the next project.

 

I've rebuilt several 1:1 scale of these. The ones I've done had separate head/cam holders for each cylinder. And a rather complex OHC gearing-chain system.
