I've also picked a [http://start-model-engineering.co.uk/category/elmers-32/ likely engine design] (mounted upside down). The bulk of that is about 5" tall which is a good fit to the outside of the boot I ordered (I think). | I've also picked a [http://start-model-engineering.co.uk/category/elmers-32/ likely engine design] (mounted upside down).

The boots arrived, but the colour isn't as described and is a bit off-theme for what I have in mind. More importantly, while a bean tin *just* fits, it makes for a rather "fat ankle" and a bigger boot size would be better. However, the boot isn't essential at this stage and I think I should just proceed with making (most if not all of) an Elmer's #32 for now and keep an eye out for a cheap and suitable boot in the meantime. | |||

Wait for boots to arrive, see how cans fit inside, measure up outside against the size of the Elemers #32. Then start ordering the necessary brass stock and parts needed to build the engine. | Wait for boots to arrive, see how cans fit inside, measure up outside against the size of the Elemers #32.
