Another Steam Engine

Dave R

Thank you all.

And because Mike suggested it...

Or another version.

Mike Amos

I think the style suits the subject matter and they are great. Any chance I can use these as art on the walls of my renders?

Bryan K

Those "antique print" styles are excellent!

Of your many styles I believe these two are my favorites … Simply fantastic

Yeah, that nails it!

Dave R

Thanks all.

Mike, I'll have to give some thought to that. Which images specifically?

I really like all of them in this thread. Very good variety and all look quite authentic.

I'm asking about the sepia type renders/images.

Dave R

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.

Sweet

Bryan K

Wow! Fantastic detail!

Mike Amos

Cooking on gas.

Dave R

Thank you folks and HNY.

Bryan K

Excellent as always!

Dave R

This is a little Stirling engine. The flywheel is 49mm in diameter.

Bryan K

Very cool.

Mike Amos

Another cracking piece you have there.

Fantastic! Indeed some of these would deserve to be printed and hanged in some industrial based interior designs!

Mike Amos

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.
