Description
This is a Bristol Herculese fourteen cylinder two row sleeve valve radial engine, c.1941. It was used to power Beaufighter, Halifax, Sterling, Albermarle and Wellington aircraft during WW2.
These are the first two renders of this project superimposed together in paint shop. I will be doing a lot more rendering here! What you can see is the sleeve valve drive gears under the front cover. I think this is about my most complicated model so far,
Thanks for looking!

Mighty modelling and render. V
the model and modeler are insane. Wonderfull image and excellent detail.
speechless, jaw dropping modelling!!!
My father has been telling me how silent the starter was in a Willys-Knight his neighbor owned. I just bask in the hectoring phrase used in yacht appraisals, "In Bristol condition!"
A stunning piece you modeled ! and the render is up to the quality : Bravo!
Oh man! Can you ever stoke that Rhino! Brian, you have outdone yourself! This sets the bar far beyond Master User. You are now a Jedi Knight!

That is absolutely brilliant! I can't even wrap my head around how much work that must have been! Great job!
Complicated and verrry detailed! If those engineers had seen our current technology to design these motors they wouldn't have believed it! Very impressive model! :)
