    A quick update on the Pratt & Whitney PT6A-25 motor which I have just started and lots of detail will be added. I have also started the prop blades which I will mould and cast in resin to get exact matches. The blade needs refining and sharpening. Will update again soon.

    I am still in awe, Adrian (@adrianstarling). In my mind, I know you are cutting basic shapes in plastic that are glued together in ever-more complex assemblies, but when I do the same I certainly don't achieve the realism that you do. Well done, and looking forward to the next installment.

    Thanks Marcus, basic abs versus titanium but I hope I can simulate it!

    Hi George, you are doing yourself down and your work is of an extremely high standard.I try to simplify and break each part down to form the final shape which gives the detail in the final assembly. Many thanks for your motivating comments as always!

    Incredible how you create those parts, Adrian @adrianstarling
    Every single piece of that engine looks amazing.

    The main landing gear has started! This will keep me occupied for a while as there is a lot of detail to be added. I am getting all the main construction completed on all elements and this will be followed by the detailing of the individual items. I hope you enjoy the little update….
