USS Monitor Steam Engine and Bulkheads

Screen shot of my latest project, the engine used in the USS Monitor and its bulkhead mounting. Thanks to drawings created by Richard Carlstedt as he states, after a 20 year investigation and research of the original engine drawings. He uploaded the drawings and released them for personal use on the Home Machinist web site. The man model I put in the scene is 5' 5" tall for reference. I plan to do a KeyShot render of the model but am going to wait until the face color issue is resolved.

Very cool. Will we see a render sometime?

As noted in the description, the render will be after the next Alibre version when the Face to Color issue is fixed. I can't imagine the number if items in the Scene tree of KeyShot if I did it now. Plus, I found some more Monitor drawings for things like the prop and prop shaft that I want to add to the model.

GIOV, thanks for the links. I did get some drawings from the njdigitalhighway but your link puts them all in one search.
