This is the model that I've been working on most recently, it is a free model that was scratch built I think, and comes in a nice scale and fantastic details.

I have not been able to make much progress over the past year because I was insanely busy and do not know if I will be able to continue working on it as I have a couple of projects that I wish to work on immediately, but here we go- Hope you'll enjoy!

Outstanding. I do hope you will be able to eventually come back to this model. Your work so far is very good. And, hey, you have one of them thar new-fangled digital micrometers! It pays to have the right tools.

That looks real good. I can see the time consuming aspect of the build. Lots of holes to drill out, gears to cut out, and wheel spokes to cut out. Gonna be a nice model when done.

VK is right. This is outstanding craftsmanship on a historic machine.

Beautiful detail work.

This is one model I keep returning to to build. It was on my list to do this year but other models have taken priority. Glad you have started this thread.

beautiful work and great photos. Hope you can continue this thread.
Any idea where the model came from so we could give it a shot some day?

Thanks everyone for your kind comments and encouragements! I will try to keep the progress updated as often as possible, but I may be talking about every few months or something here, as there are other models that took priority for the moment.

@elliott: here is the link where you can get a copy. I don't think it'll be a problem since it's a free model but I do not know what the policy or rule is here. I just tried to post the link but wasn't unable to do so.

Excellent level of work so far.
