A bit of progress to report...
First photo shows salvaged plastic engine that fitted very nicely under the cowling.
Second photo - cowling might use at least one more ring to get better shape but I was able to round the two provided to avoid those flat surfaces designer intended,
Third photo shows two tools I found extremelly useful. Both found on Ebay but I don't remember the name for the big one. Something with to do with lathes...
Smaller one is an embedding tool. They are perfect for rounding those flat rings over the mouse pad to get a more 3D look.
