I use hot pink at the moment. It’s very jarring, and I certainly don’t like clients to see it on a stark white model.

Encourages you to fix exposed back faces as you go, right? That’s much better and easier than going back through the completed model to repair them.

I’ve just about got enough parts to set up the drive system for a steam powered shop. Maybe I should start assembling them.
Jack shaft to run a lathe.
The lathe.
This engine might be overkill.

I need to find some measured drawings for the belt shifters.

Do you mean it might be overkill to add the engine to your model, or that you may have gone overboard with the detail in your engine, or…? Not sure what you meant. I think it looks great (but I appreciate detail).
Will it integrate with the rest of the lathe (at some point)?
I meant that a 2-cylinder steam engine would be overkill for running a lathe.
But not for the whole shop, once you have a 50’ overhead jack shaft installed to run all the various tools.

By clicking on locking machine handle, it opened up your whole flicker collection. Wow, it’s awesome. I really admired the pencil gauge. 
Thanks.
I use Hot Pink for my backfaces

A little grinder for keeping the lathe tools sharp. It’ll can be driven off the jack shaft for the lathe. I just need to get out my shaft stretcher and make the jack shaft longer.

(Being said with tongue in cheek) And the leather belt can double duty as the strop.

A powered strop at that.

I must admit, I saw one of these for the first time recently. I had no idea.
