One cylinder steam engine combined with an orbitary gear. The model comes full animated (only constraints were used) The plans of the original DIY steam engine was taken from this webpage (http://www.john-tom.com/html/ElmersEngines.html)
Materials from here: http://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/69793 http://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/38983
Tip: try to make the metal rusty, then it will more like a steampunk model...
Thank you! I've tried to make the mechanism working, materials were secondary. But rusty metal is a good idea. I will use this engine for some steampunkish models and though I try the rust ;)
This is nice A+.
