Wow again ..... two V4PRs ...... that really is impressive!
Guess I'll have to repeat myself here and say once again:
"You CERTAINLY have all the BEST of Saito's Marine offerings in your collection!!!"
Thank you Jan and
Thank you Daniel.
I'm very guilty of buying and forgetting.
Since I don't get much shop time on weeknights I'll share a couple more photos.
Here is a picture of a MSM Clyde plant just after I had assembled it. I picked it up a few years back for a boat project which still remains unfinished.

Here are a couple more photos after I fancied it up and mounted it on a machined base that I made.

The painted engine looks great.
Thank you KNO3, Charlie and Daniel.
It looks like about twenty days since my last update.
I've spent the last two Saturdays building a shed for my Dad.
Once I found my M6 X .75 tap (they never seem to be where I last put them) I made a few steam fittings, basicly compression fittings with olives that fit over the 1/8" tubing, and compression nuts.

Here is the mounted Aster plant.

On to the T3DR plant next.
Cheers
That is truly a thing of beauty you have created there Bill !!!
Are you going to add a nice chimney to the Aster boiler? I think it is going to look even better.
Thank you Daniel
KNO3, I have been looking for a suitable piece of stack material, I'll find one eventually. I agree it will look much better with a stack.
WOW!!!
That Aster Plant looks amazing on that board there Bill
...as does the MSM Clyde Plant, which i somehow missed earlier, with its new dark blue "dress", wooden claddings and no less that fantastic looking metalbase.
WELL DONE !!!
Great showing and great work, Bill...!!!
