[MOC] Collection of mini engines.

[apemax]

Hello,

This thread is where I will be posting the mini minifig-ish scale engines I plan on building. First of these is a Napier Sabre, A 24 cylinder aero engine used mainly in the Hawker Typhoon and Tempest.

Next one I'm currently working on is a Rolls Royce Meteor.

Great build, an interesting engine, especially through its role (due to its unsuitability as an intended high altitude engine) in giving rise to the aforementioned low altitude strike aircraft.

A Rolls Royce/Packers Merlin engine of the Spitfires, Mustangs and Lancaster’s would be great to see, especially if your going to do the Meteor tank engine version.

@Stuartn,

Thanks, Yes, A Merlin is actually the next one I plan on doing after the Meteor.

Still not 100% happy with it but can't think of how to improve it right now so calling it done for now. Second is a Rolls Royce Meteor,  A V12 engine developed from the Rolls Royce Merlin aero engine.

Nice collection of classic warbird power plants. They would go well with a museum style aircraft display.

@Feuer Zug,

 

Thanks, An interesting option for them for sure.

Been a while but I've built another mini engine, This time a Daimler-Benz DB 605, A German inverted V-12 piston engine developed during WW2 and most famously used in the Bf 109.

Great theme, I like mechanical builds like this, too bad it's probably not popular enough for a mainstream series, like collectible minifigs.

@Henchmen4Hire,

Thanks, Yeah that would be kinda cool.
