Steam pinnace Janet

Hello All
After a long time waiting for a friend to print me a steam engine for the middle section I took the decision to go to a printing hub
And this is the engine printed in resin
Kind regards ,Daniel

Very beautiful engine Daniel! Is it one piece or rotating?

I like the idea to install the steam engine on the same axle as electric motor which actually powers the propeller. When electric motor is hidden under ship constructions, it looks like the steam engine actually rotates the propeller.

Hello All
Today I was working a bit at middle part of the ship : I did a paper cover for my fake engine for better understanding the space
After that I painted the resin engine
This is the result

First try was a little crooked but after gluing I will get to fit and make some remedial filing
Well see how it is working for me
If not will do a second one

Hello All,
After a bit of pondering I decided to remake the cover of the engine
This is variant 2
Kind regards, Daniel
