The engine room is now finished so, now I can move on to the wheel house. I can also install the top deck.
I used 1/8" tubing for the exhaust. A piece of 14-2 household wire fits nicely inside. This allowed me to make bends to the plastic so it would hold its shape.



You can pull the wire out after bending but I prefer to trim the wire back and leave it in.



I made flexible exhaust couplings from woven armor for wire.



I made a fuel tank and added the rest of the hose, piping and electrical.





More later

It's pretty sad when the only modeling tool you own is a box cutter.

If the only tool you have is a hammer, you start to see every problem as a nail. Abraham Maslow

Amazing work! Can't believe you made this using only a box cutter! Whistle

Tom,
I am always amazed at your work. Great Job. I really love the flexible fittings! How do you think of all of these details?

Keep it coming!
