For the past few days I have been working on the underside engines.
As it turns out, this has been no simple task...
The original engines were hand carved by Martin Bower in Jelutong wood, and then molded and cast in fibreglass.
Trying to match all the different angles of this hand carved element has taken considerable work (and many iterations).
I'm at a point now though, where I believe that they are a good representation of the originals as they fit nicely over the reference images :
The detailing on the engines is still to be finalised.
