John, the 1:72 is on indefinite hold until I can work out some serious format issues, so far this 1:100th is the best I can offer, it might go into a second limited print but I can't even guarantee that.

Flywheels and steam cylinders
Here are the completed flywheels. New parts are the linkages and steam cylinders. I don't know if the linkages are done right, but they're the best I could do, and look okay to me.

Engine frame
The complex crank mechanism added to the engine frame, which is 1.5" across. There are 31 pieces in the first photo.
The second is a sneak peek of the engine frame in position onboard.

Have you seen this amazing miniature steam-powered model of the USS Monitor's engine in action? Just goes to show how realistic this paper model is. https://youtu.be/VWn8gQ9Ykpk

Thanks for the link to the video. That is excellent. And of course, youtube pointed me in the direction of many many other steam engines, of all kinds. Wonderful stuff. Mike
