Would a Stuart Sirius build be of interest at all?
This is the current standard Stuart model as opposed to the engine that was fitted to the war time radio sets .

I would be very interested in seeing it.
I would be interested too, have the model, but it’s already built... would be fun to see how it’s done by someone that knows what they’re doing
Thanks replies
Pics of all machined items to follow asap

Looking forward to seeing this as well

Awesome!
Looking forward to it. 🤠
Finishing off machining etc, so will be in the new year now as busy completing items for grandchildren.
I did manage to get a period 1970 set of no 1 waterpump castings in original Stuart box to pair with it recently.

Factory machined kit components - I had forgotten that a couple of sets of these were about so will do a build using these in the New Year.
Stuart items, from the Henly-on-Thames era, vastly superior to the unmachined castings currently available.
So this is the fully machined set made and sold by Stuart's in probably the 1950-1960 period.
The assembled big ends and fitted piston rings is as supplied.
I'd love to see it.
Looks like a serious Sirius.
Nice to see/know what’s on the inside of mine

This may be of interest
I would love to watch this build. As a model engine builder ( can't really call myself a machinist), i am always interested in seeing how to do things the right way,

That “cut-away” would sure be neat to belt up to a complete one for a working display
