26 forum posts	Hi, I am a novice ME. I have been teaching myself with the help of this and other great forums. The only thing I have built so far is the Stuart beam engine. It runs well so this is more or less my skill level. I am thinking of building a simple IC engine and am looking for recommendations for a first try. If it came with plans and some machining advice all the better. I am thinking of the booklet that came with the Stuart beam. I have a South Bend 9 inch lathe and a Uni- Vertical bench top mill to work with. If any one knows of a place I could find plans and possibly castings for a good first attempt IC model I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thanks in advance, John.

Download the drawings from John Tom. http://www.john-tom.com/ Plenty of build logs over on HMEM http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com Other possibilities are from the pen of Jan Ridders. Have a look at his site (it will probably come up in Dutch, but there is a button to go to English). His engines are also bar stock. http://heetgasmodelbouw.ridders.nu/ Dave The Emerald Isle
