OTish Amazing scale model.

Have you ever seen the cars of Gerald Wingrove? They are spectacular in their detail.

Why not? Presumably he has lots of time to spare.

Fair enough. I used to be into flying model airplanes, what this guy has done seems boring to me.

like a BSA single to me.

I'll concede that the model-making is astonishing.

Horses for courses. Maybe he can't get out and about.

Amazing. Anyone know what kind of engine that is out in the junkyard? Looks like an air cooled twin like a 2CV but not quite the same. Judging by the detail, it *will* be a copy of a real engine.

Dunno, but it looks like a bastard-heavy casting at the visible end, so (assuming it's a copy of something real) I wonder if it was for a stationary application (or perhaps plant equipment) rather than a car?

Could be. On closer examination I think it's a four, not a twin. Certainly it looks like a four lead distributor on top. I did wonder if it might be a Citroen GS engine but it's not that.

I go direct to the site, maybe you have some sort of blocker activated?

If you go straight to the home web site

it stated the web site has been shut down.

I must be seeing a cached view, then.

I wonder what happened. Too many visitors for it to handle?
