MLA-17 Model Diesel

This was my first project. Some of you may have me the designer at Cabin Fever. Andy Lofquist designed this engine and has some other lathe accessory kits available as well.

As I said in the other post, you've got natrual talent. Nice job on that first engine. Nice runner too.

In that quick scan around the engine I caught a few interesting things in the background.  :D

I think we need a few pics of those fine looking objects. :clap:

Looks to me like you have  :proj:

Thank you for the kind words.

No plans on putting the engine in anything. I have it on my desk at work and I take it to shows.
