Cut Away
Hi Guys!
Well I guess you can call this post "show and tell" LoL....
I was reading posts and threads a few weeks ago on some other forums and found a thread about a guy who takes your old dead ugly engines or he can supply one and cuts them up, so you can see the internal working parts. I didnt have any pictures at the time but emailed him and asked to see some. His name is Herb and he's a nice guy, so we discussed via email these engines, he cuts them all himself with a machine. He is also a avid flyer has planes, cars, and now with his time cuts away engines. Well we discused the details and today they arrived. They are neat as can be!! I got a wooden stand and props with mine. There really going to look good either on a wall or at my desk. I know they would make a great coversation peice too. So here are some pictures, if you want more info just drop him an email.... I think there neat! And what a good way to do something with a dead old engine instead of throwing it away, he even cleans them up or nice and brand new looking. I think the pictures will speak for themseleves. Sorry I havent gotten around to hanging them yet!!
Here is his email address [email protected]

You can tell a good landing, because you only have to bend down once to pick up the model.

RE: Cut Away
I have a similar collection and it is of equal "conversation piece" material. I find that Asphalt and Desert sand do a great job on producing cutaways...and I didn't have to pay someone to do it...
Of course, my "art" does not resemble an engine per se, but let's not be picky... they all started out as engines!!

PS: pretty cool!

Imagine, sending this engine back to the manufacture, and saying, I was just trying to port it! Why won't it run?

RE: Cut Away
Great idea that makes it unnecessary to explain to the masses just what makes our engines run. Might even encourage someone to take our hobby seriously.
