MB Trac Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 I have been working on the drawings for this model. I am currently making the pump and I will post pictures as soon as it is ready. Here are some pictures of the current stage of the design. This is with great thanks to HiSpec who are allowing me to make the model. I have spent all day making the pump and it is still only half way completed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51MON Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 will this be made from brass then ? look forward to seeing the build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Trac Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 This build will be a combination of brass, aluminum and the smaller parts will be cast. I have acquired a bigger milling machine as my smaller one wasn't up to the job of cutting brass and aluminum so this one should make cutting it alot easier. I will put up some pics of the beginning of the pump later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB Trac Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 I still have to figure out how I am going to make some of the components Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Trac Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 The first attempt at the pump. It is around half way finished. The coin is just for size comparison. I will be making a final one, just want to see how it all works to start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewstanford Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 ino what you mean about the modeling taking a long time but the longer you spend the better the end result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B O R Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 nice,i can see a perfect tanker on the way......with so much attention to the individual components the end result should look real,which is as good as it gets.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPR Models Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Nice pump,cant wait to see the rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Trac Posted December 5, 2010 Author Share Posted December 5, 2010 The design is almost complete so I will be able to start into making the model soon. The plan is to make all of the components from brass and aluminum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Trac Posted December 28, 2010 Author Share Posted December 28, 2010 Just a progress update. Have the patterns started. Most of the final model will be made from brass. Still have to make the fittings and lots of small components. These will be available for sale in the next few months all going well.

MB Trac Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 One more pic. The plan now is to make all of the tank in brass.
