A key step on the way to the four-wheeled automobile. Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach invented this engine in 1885. This model is 1:3 replica of the original , works with gasoline and only 32 cm in height.Casting kit is from Classic Motors - Heinz Kornmüller from Austria. It took 5 months to finish the engine as there are plenty of brass parts to be built. Daimler used this engine on the world's first motorbike they invented (picture attached.)
Welcome to my workshop, The target of this blog is to share my hobbies with other enthusiasts who are interested in model boat building, model engine building, small antique engine restoration and finally steampunk metal art. Taking the fact that a picture is worth a thousand words, I have created my posts with several pictures instead of long descriptions that may be annoying for the reader.
