Very nice. Possibly a little too clean, but still nice.

Hi Guys,

Glen sure does grand work.

Kenny, patience it's early days :-) :-) I have suggested green or grey/blue for the generator and I'm sure there will be a sufficient amount of greese around later.

Glad you like it.

Cheers

Al

Wonderful generator. I don't recognize any fuel tanks, is it me or is that yet to come?
Love the outside wall.

Hi Scott,

The fuel tank will be outside, possibly on the roof, more to come.

Cheers

Hi Erin,

This is Glen's (aka Cheyenne's) build, that he's doing for me for my Pier 51 Dio.

I believe he used an old 1.25 scale Flat Head V 8 Ford engine possibly from an old Revell kit, it's about the right proportions for a 1/35 Generator, with various bits added.

The entire Lighthouse is scratch built with additions from Glen's spares box.

There are a series of previous posts if you look back that will give you an idea of the whole building.

Cheers

Al
