These are the headlight mounting stems… At least the beginnings of them.

And the turn indicator housings and lenses...

Amazign work, really, i like all the step by step!!!
Keep going!
Thanks again for share this master piece.
Guillermo

Awesome!!!
Everything is a masterpiece!

The headlight/turn signal assemblies are done (except for the wiring that will come out of the stems).
I changed the interior color of the housing from bright silver to a flat pewter/steel tone. The turn signals also have bulbs in them now.

The stems mount to brass receivers installed to the frame. On the “real car” they are removable by pulling out one bolt and unplugging them for track time.

The notches I cut into the nose piece for the mounting receivers make for a nice positive locking fit for the nose.

Oh man, you make me cry with yours skills :)
Its a extraordinary work
Thanks for share
Guillermo

I roughed out the top of the extinguisher by freehand milling some scrap resin (left over from casting).

Thank you!
I won't be making copies of it, but I will be able to offer wheels and tires and a few other sub-assemblies if others were interested.

To make copies would require making most of the one-of fabricated parts again.
If I had planned to offer copies I would have had to construct it much differently and with forethought to making it as a kit. But that would have made the project much more complicated than it needs to be, and less detailed than I want it to be. It is just something for my entertainment.

Perfect explained, i need to tell you "your work is a masterpiece"
Congrats

These are the four main sub-assemblies for the fire extinguisher. 15 individual pieces (counting the needle and lens for the gauge). Three custom made decals.
From the right, the nozzle, the bottle, the holder and the hold down strap.

Thanks!

The last piece for the extinguisher is done, the safety pin…

The pin does go all the way through to the back… The one I copied has a little barb on the pin, (no chains required).

Exelent!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is really commited work. My hands ar way to clmsy to make something this precise. My son has made similar models from kits, this is next level. I'll show him your work.

I built the housing for the trunk latch.
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e272/Superb7/Another%20Caterham/DSC03420_zpsf6c8546a.jpg (http://s41.photobucket.com/user/Superb7/media/Another%20Caterham/DSC03420_zpsf6c8546a.jpg.html)

The distributor cap; I started making it from brass tubing, but ended up machining it after I soldered it together, it is still all brass and solder.
http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e272/Superb7/Another%20Caterham/DSC03422_zpseb4a9a9f.jpg (http://s41.photobucket.com/user/Superb7/media/Another%20Caterham/DSC03422_zpseb4a9a9f.jpg.html)
The distributor itself was machined from aluminum.

Beginning of the alternator. I freehand milled the front from resin. The main parts are aluminum. The back plate is styrene.

Three steel pins hold the assembly together.
Loose test fit pending other parts of the pulley system that need to be made.

I had to make the cam drive cogs before I make the pulley set. More milled aluminum…

The idlers for the cam and oil pump drive are done…

The cogged cam drive belt was machined from a nylon zip-tie.

Awesome! Impressive job! One-off build!

Scalemaster, you should figure out the proper length, subtract one cog from the belt length and make a mold so that you can cast it from your tire resin.

:smokin::smokin:

That is an option, but I have had good luck with this process.

I made the pulleys for the “fan belt”. It turns only the water pump and alternator off the crank.

There is a fan, but it is only for the alternator.

I also made some of the rear details for the alternator.

Not that it will be seen behind the fan especially once installed in the car, but I added some armature detail too.

This build will belong in a museum when your done with it. Such a beautiful work of art!!

With all that work I couldn’t very well allow a floating alternator now could I?
The upper mounting/tensioner. Mounted to the water pump.

These are the main parts for the starter and solenoid, 17 individual parts not counting the wires or the plug, mostly brass; 7 parts in the solenoid cap alone.

A little grunge and wear was added after I assembled it.

I date the filter with a Marks-A-Lot when I do an oil change on my real cars too…

Looks great Scalemaster!!!

However, not sure if you realize this but all the pictures you have posted prior to the 9th are not showing up. All I have been able to view from two different computers using two different OS is what is in the screen shot below.

If you click on the box where the picture would be it takes you to your Photobucket page and the picture but we can not see the pictures in this thread. Might be time to update your Photobucket account.

:smile::smile::smile:

Thanks Icon!
Yes, I apparently have been able to "out build" the bandwidth of that account. It should resume/reinstate on the 20th.

These are the spark plug boots.

Here’s the finished coil. It’s easier to build with the coil wire boot on it now and I’ll just add the wiring after it is installed into the car. The boot is resin, cast off an aluminum master.

The distributor is done. Same as with the coil, the plug wire boots are easier to deal with by attaching them now instead of to the wires. The boots are also cast in resin from the same master.
I added the serial number/data plate and drilled the base for the control wiring.

This is the battery, an Odyssey PC680. I milled the top from resin stock and built the bottom from sheet styrene. The terminals are brass and vinyl. I drew and printed the decals as well.

Exelent job with the battery!!!!

Looking better with every update.

.0075 for the smaller sizes, .012 for the larger (yellow).

The alternator is pretty much done. I’ll add a couple more pieces of mounting hardware and wiring after it is installed on the engine. Since it sits down low, like the starter, I dirtied it up a little. It is made up of more than 30 pieces, mostly aluminum, but also milled resin, steel, brass and styrene.

Finished transmission. I know it is well into the hundreds for the parts count on this sub-assembly, but I have no actual number. Mostly styrene construction with several brass and aluminum pieces.

I insist, may be you can start this engine!!!!!
Amazing man, all the built process is a masterclass!!!
Congrats
Guillermo

Absolutely amazing build...I have been captivated by your skills throughout this project!

A question for you please regarding the milled fins on the rockers covers, ignition box etc? Do you use very small diameter end mills, or slitting saws. I've been trying to do likewise for ages, but without any decent success!:mad:

The smallest end mills I can find are 1mm, which are too wide, even for most 1/12th builds.

john

Thanks guys!

I used end mills for both of those parts John. The ignition box fins were cut with a 1/32 end mill; working in resin it wasn't a problem.
The cam cover fins were cut with a 1/4 inch end mill. Since it is a stepped design, almost any size end mill could be used. But the pockets for the mounting bolts were done with a 1/16 inch end mill.
