Well, all this rant is headed to convince you to make other ones an you could sell one to me! LOL Really, pleaseeeee!!!!

Gio, I'm sure I speak from all of us when I beg of you to produce a PE set for this kit... name your price. We'll pay it. It's a gorgeous kit, and it deserves a gorgeous PE set.

Thanks you all, guys.

OrangeR, Stryfe, CeeElle: I ever asked myself "why not": obviously I have some reasonable answers:

- It's my hobby: I love it, I didn't count the time and the effort invested, I just love do it so, I do it for satisfaction, it's a pleasure to share and possibily offer a contribution for the common modelling knowledge: I'm worry that if I do as job I'll lost those valors.

If I do as a job I should be worried by money, times, customer care, stuff quality: I'm worried to lost friend to do a thing that can't give me so much money to consider a a job.

Better way to me is still stremline my job to keep money and have ever more time (and munny) to do models: this would give me more satisfactions, money needed to manage a family, money to do some crazy stuff like the montecarlo's PE or acquire other tools (CNC!!!!): anyway I'm trying ever to keep clear-cut job and hobby: so don't expect stuff from me: is time and money consuming: obviously I consider the request a big compliment, thanks a lot.

Also lately I discuss with a AF friend about a similar issue: like he said (for him) I have enough trouble and stress from the job to search other crap in my hobby

For what concer the imitation I'm not worried: the profit I'll have from my modelling ideas is few bucks: I haven't the power, capabilities, money to sell hi-volumes so... I don't care.. anybody here with few skills in doing PE will draw an alternator like those, they (aftermarket stuff producers) didn't worked on it 'cos they do stuff for intermediates/beginners, never seen a stuff that is a pain to mount as my alternator LOL

once a time, thanks a lot for your kind comments: more to come soon, ciao

The job go on: I'm trying to have all ready to test part' fitting, not easy. I turned some parts like the water pump, pulleyes and AC compressor by brass and alu, and mounted on the block trough the PE backing: the fitting between parts seem ok, now I have to see with belts and pulleyes, I'll have some games.

Alternator mount, done with a sandwitches of 3 PE layers



Mrs. water Pump: she's done by some turned brass parts, seamed togheter with square and round brass rods:







AC compressor: turned brass, PE pulleye's details, PE backing, still in the needs of some detail, but I'm in a hurry to check part's fitting now.







Differential cover in 2 overlapped PE shapes: still needs some bolts:



sorry for pics, I'll do outdoor pics soon

ciao

Great job Gio, are you having any problems keeping the belts lined up? Hate for you to have a belt noise when it's running, it is going to run right?
