(...) I basically did it all on Friday. Probably around 8-10 hours or so. I'm getting pretty adept at doing circular objects in sculpture, so it didn't really take me that long at all to do the ball shapes.

(...) Try this link, (URL) . I did a search on Gnome rotary, as that was the most famous one I can think of. In short, the cylinders and crankcase rotate around the hollow, offcenter crankshaft. The intake valve is in the bottom of the piston, and (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.build.military)

In reality, the rotary engine packed so much torque that inexperience pilots routinely crashed flying the Camel. (...) (23 years ago, 19-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.sculpture)

(...) Yes, particuarily if you like the model. Does it have good peices? yes, particuarily for black little 1x1 rounds with flanged ends. This set has two, they make the gun barrel ends.
