If anyone has contact details for Rob Barrett, I would be keen to run an article in the Grey Mag.

Almost unbelievably fine detail has been achieved - an astounding job. Details of the build are also very interesting - marvel at the distributor...

Although this model is of the very finest quality - https://store.lathes.co.uk/adverts/for-s...rnes-lathe - and one of several very fine examples by the builder, the work put into the Austin Seven engine is even more impressive.

Mike,

If no-one has contact details. you can contact him via the HMEM forum by posting on his thread. Or if you wish I can send him a PM on the forum as I am a member.

Ian

Ian, that would be helpful. I have tried using the message facility but didn't get through, presumably because I'm not registered on the website.

Unfortunately, the last time that the forum heard from him was in 2018. I've searched online but, so far, can find no further trace, I'll now try exploring some of the other model engineering groups.
