minute engine restorationI've been reading about this restoration job, after it was posted on a foruma few months ago. Not toy steam exactly, but fascinating stuff. http://sciencemuseumconservation.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html Take a look at the archive to check its progress. Unbelievable skill by the maker & equally by the restorers. |

Funny lot these museum restorers. Anyone else would have taken it around to their local watch repairers who spend their time removing gunged up lubrication from intricate and tiny mechanisms. Ten minutes in the ultrasonic bath.....Job Done!
But no, a six month saga of soaking and paintbrushing under a microscope. Talk about labour intensive. |
