Potty Over Crank Wall Engine

Stew,

If you would like to make your 'brick wall' out of some hardwood (you could cut the mortar in with a ball end cutter), I have a load of thick and wide planks of oak here that would do the job admirably.

It wood be dead simple to simulate and do using your dro.

That sounds like a good idea John.

I'll have to be carfull with hardwood as I've developed an alergy too it, but I may be OK with good old English oak.

Hi Peter thanks for the scale brick link, unfortunatly I think they will be too small a scale the engine is approx 1/3 full size.

Hi Stew - just saw your video - are you a master watchmaker or what?

I don't know if this might help - I "bricked and stone floored" a small plant using real brick/stone materials from "Richard Stacey" - http://www.richardstacey.com/
They do stone/brickwork/slate in all kinds of scale sizes.

If its ok to put this photo here? - I used their products to "brickwall" a Stuart H10/Boiler plant :-




I don't want to go "off topic" - this is just to show what their stuff looks like. I used cyano to glue each brick onto wood, coated in Plasticard plus a thin wash of white glue, let down with water.
Courses were "pointed" with Stacey's own mix.

With all respects

Peter
