Blue Seven (Parts 2

[Scale-Master]

My photo hosting account is getting a lot of traffic, so I thought I'd start another thread to continue showing the progress and save some bandwidth.

I will continue hosting the earlier pictures so the "Blue Seven (Parts)" thread stays alive for those who wish to see it, but I will post the new parts in this thread... - Mark

Here is a link to "The Part 1 Thread" of this project:
Original Blue Seven (Parts) thread. (Part 1)

Again, I have mix feeling about this project.

It great to see awesome model being built, it's sad to look at my own model after that

Can't wait to see the update!!!

[Scale-Master]

Over a dozen machined parts, I lost count...
The gauge has a needle, and a lens.
The blow off valve is bronze and aluminum, the safety cable was wound from some very fine wire.
Note the 7 faceted knob, (it is my Seventh Super Seven), and locking hardware too.
Made the decals, of course... - Mark

yea, i can relate. Scale-Master, your work is on such a higher plane of existance then what i could ever hope to do. i have been working on my carbs all nite and after seeing your beautiful outstanding work i may as well put 2 grapes on top of my blower. i still have yet to see your original thread and just waiting for the pics and also i have dial up so sometimes i avoid long threads but from what i seen so far, i should quit models and do something im good at, like shovelling snow! lol. beautiful work. you are an artist.

Mark.
You really make me what to quit this hobby

What do you use for gluing the aluminium part together ? CA, 2 part Epoxy etc ?

I would love to see a photo of your workshop area, any chance ?

I hope you all are just kidding, as I've said before, I certainly don't want other builders to be discouraged by my work, rather I hope it just goes to show that it can be done.

Usually CA, occasionally 5 minute epoxy.

Not likely, no offense. It's nothing special, probably like most builders caves. But it is my refuge... - Mark

Are you sure we're not looking at a "scaled up" ruler? LOL!!!!

[Scale-Master]

Does this help?

I love reading these threads, any threads where the builder is better than me, whether it's by just a bit or by lightyears (like this). It might make what I put together right now look like silly lumps of plastic, but the idea is one day I might be half as good as this, and that really sticks me to it. If I didn't start with an orange-peeled, not cleared, no window rubber painted hunk of plastic, I wouldn't be building what I build now; and without what I'm building now, there's no way I'd get up to Scale-Master's or Robrex's or Skylinefan's skill level either.

Mark, your work is continually inspiring. Everytime you post your progress, raising the bar, it makes me push myself to make my stuff better than before. Each post makes me strive to make myself a better modeler. Yes, it is a little sorrow to blow us out of the water, but hopefully I will reach 1/2 of your talent someday far down the road.

Truelly and unexplainably amazing. I've read up on your past Super Sevens, and it is stunning how you continue to top yourself each time.

that is absolutely amazing!

[GvEman]

Incredible!

[white97ex]

awesome work. I hope that no one is serious in their comments of discouragement. It requires lots of skill, experience and the right tools to turn out the parts that you are making here. It should merely make us all strive to build better models! I know that it has inspired me.

It' so freakin' real!!!!
What did you use to make the can portion shine like a mirror?
How did you make the decal?

[D_LaMz]

for a moment there, I thought it was real!
