That's a shame .. I found it very interesting. To see a 'floor' where early humans had been 500,000+(?) years ago.

It was Dr. Mary Leakey there at the time. We had a personal tour with an African Paleontologist for a couple of hours.

I found it fascinating, but then I've always been a bit 'fossiley'.

Not a lot to do with your engine though. :offtopic:

EDIT

Flamin' 'ell .....Dr. Leakey was there when we went. Not 500,000 years ago .. :doh:

Yes it is a shame it was in the origonal itinery but has since bin taken out.

Bit more done on the engine the pillar parts was more about mass production than anything, made the roundels from 20mm brass bar, i'm going to paint the columns mat black and leave the roundels shiny brass :D

Used a form tool to form the rads drill and parted off

Sorry about the crap pic.

Then with the back stop faced them all off the same.

Then turned up a mandrell a blended things in and gave them a polish.

This is how one looks like.

And time for an interest boosting assembly.

Not looking too bad.
