Robert Caso Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Pivotal in the design of my Bulldog in the Mar 2015 issue was the inclusion of Willams Brothers P&W dummy engine which wound up being a "model in a model". I basically designed the model around the engine (just as they did in the 30's!) and with the Bulldog, you almost have to have it to avoid a "gaping hole". The engine was quite an effort however since the tooling for the molds is so old and required alot of plastic modeling work and detail to make it presentable. Hoping Graham will allow me a follow up article on this detail! Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GONZO Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Where did you get the engine from? Can only find it in the USA. After shipping, Postal Force charges and HMRC charges it would cost approx £60! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
