Hi Jerry,

No, I have never considered selling my models or using them as screen savers.

My company web site does feature a few in the "Serious designs just for fun" section of the gallery (www.mdltd.org) and one of these, the Bentley BR2 WWI rotary engine appeared in Dr. Tom Dine's (of the Bentley Foundation) book "W O Bentley Rotary Aero Engines" on P.19. I was happy and flattered to supply that FOC as the author personally signed a copy of his book for me.

An awful lot of my work is covered by NDA's and so I struggle to find models to illustrate some of my skills, hence this section of my web site.

From my POV as I did not create the designs of some of these models I am reluctant to take any credit, but I do enjoy recreating them in a computer environment - sort of virtual machining of the parts (if you understand what I mean). If I create a design that has been requested by a customer then that is an entirely different story - I charge for my time in that case.

Given the necessary workshop equipment I have the skills to reproduce most of these designs myself, but I am happy to do so virtually.

If any reader has experience of solid modelling then they will know immediately why I have been in love with it for 36+ years. It is not something that is easily explained to someone that has not used it. It's an itch I have to scratch!

Regards all,

Dave
