Those "antique print" styles are excellent!

Of your many styles I believe these two are my favorites … Simply fantastic
-
Yeah, that nails it!
-
Thanks all.
Mike, I'll have to give some thought to that. Which images specifically?
-
-
I'm asking about the sepia type renders/images.

Here's another one in progress.
This is based on dimensions in an article from a magazine published in January 1924. Many of the larger parts were available as castings and only the dimensions for machining them are included in the article. That required a forensic approach to modeling it. As an example the diameters of the cylinders weren't given so they had to be determined from the piston diameters. -

Wow! Fantastic detail!

Cooking on gas.

Thank you folks and HNY.
-
Excellent as always!

This is a little Stirling engine. The flywheel is 49mm in diameter.
-
Very cool.
-
Another cracking piece you have there.
-
Fantastic! Indeed some of these would deserve to be printed and hanged in some industrial based interior designs!
-
Dave, you could make some decent money selling these as card/paper models. Flattery etc can help but check out https://www.papermodelers.com/forum/railway-related-builds/ , the railway type would seem closest to your steam engines.

Dave,
Very nice work, I am very impressed. I have been "modeling" for a short time and now would like to dip my toe into steam engine "animation". I saw your video of the Muncaster "automation". Another "home run".
I have tinkered with MS Physics a bit, I really haven't got my head wrapped around the tool' methodology. I was wondering which animation tool did you used on the Muncaster (Ms Physics, Animator, Key Frame or other)??
Again, nice work on all of your models.

@bexar thank you.
My animations of the various steam engine models were done without using any "animation tools". I just use copies of components, tag visibility, scenes, and the native animation export option straight out of SketchUp. For me that's straightforward and simple.

WOW! Can you direct me to resources (youtube, pdf, etc) that explains that process that you use? Now, I'm even more impressed by your skill set!!! Have a good day!!
