Here I have randomly selected a few bricks for lightening or darkening .Using a very watery Raw Umber mix I toothbrush sprayed the entire surface.Then I took a small brush and painted on Raw Umber washes on individual bricks and also darkened the spaces a bit between the cracks.I then took a little Burnt Sienna chaulk pastel and lightened a few bricks for contrast.
Because of space requirements in the engine shop I think that I will now only show the Mercedes engine being worked on .I will find a spot in the main hangar for the second OX5,probably somewhere close to the bastketcase Jenny.

Mercedes engine stand.
Speaking about space in the engine shop,I guess that it is about time to build the Mercedes engine stand and then figure out where to put the workbench and shelves etc... If anyone has pics of an engine stand for an inline engine from this period ,please advise.It would have to be of a design that allows for easy access to the engine and would either be mobile or have some sort of block and tackle arrangement for lifting the engine. Any ideas?

Well I may have found something to fill the bill.Here is a very simple engine stand made of tubing and sitting on castors.(although they are hard to see partially buried in the crushed rock)It looks like it would be strong enough to support the engine while it is being worked on .It also could be put on blocks or jacks(like my Model A)to raise it higher off the floor if need be.It think that I will just use a block and tackle with chains,attached to a sliding over head rail of some sort in order to raise the whole thing off the ground.

Engine stand.
The way I see it the first thing to do is to bolt the upper horizontal tubing to the engine support flanges.For this I am using 1/8th aluminium tubing drilled at the flanges and held in place with small brass nuts and bolts.
Next I will build the rectangular floor assembly using the same 1/8th tubing and add the wheels.
