Nice model and it looks easy to build - most of the parts are
milled - you only need a lathe. Bengs has a good one
Reputation as a precise model maker.
Hope to see it working soon, Arnold

Today in the workshop... The apprentice to the boss:
"Boooooss, I've got an ideaaaaa ... Instead of turning the two step die out of the solid steel, and grinding until the doctor comes, it would be much better to take something that is already half-finished" ... 8)

... and the boss answers the trainee ... "Yeeeppp, doooo ittt, that saves time and material" ... ;D

In addition, the die is now also exchangeable ..!  :o

After the little "SCHOENNER" interruption of yesterday, I made it today to finish the bear with the punch fastener... The connecting rod will have to wait until tomorrow..

From the very beginning until now, including the connecting rod tomorrow and some details like the adjustment bolts aside the sled and some more fine tuning & adjustments, it might have taken nearly 50 working hours to build it.
One more skilled model mechanic than me with a better machine tool equipment than I have will make it possibly in less than 30 hours...
