Runnymede Meccano Guild Meeting Montage - 3rd February 2024
Where can I buy something like this?
Bravo Bravo c est très bien
One of the best, if not the best, Meccano models I've ever seen. What's that one green piece doing in there ruining the colour scheme?😁😁😁
I originally built the frame in mid green but rebuilt in zinc. Don’t worry - I’ve replaced the remaining green parts with zinc since SkegEx 😊
Full video with explanation and demonstration: ua-cam.com/video/uasAf64fVA4/v-deo.html This working model of the machine used by the Germans in World War II to encrypt and decrypt secret messages was built by Craig Longhurst and is shown here at International Meccano Model Show in 2024. It came in at 2nd place in the Best Model competition that year. We have a playlist of other models from the International Meccano Model show here: ua-cam.com/play/PLhOLTiCBptCJ9Oac56dkx3AUqSnwCaFCu.html
Thanks for the contribution to my model. This is a nice reminder of the days in Skegness
My pleasure!
very good
Excellent, what a nice neat mechanism. I think he needs to be on a lead though, before he wanders off !
Absolutely fan-flippin-tastic John 😁😁😁😁
An awesome-looking Meccano model I have ever seen. 🙂
Someone get this man some depleted Uranium so that the counterweight may be shortened, enabling the fighter to go straight up (and over).
The Eurofighter does barrel roll (i.e. goes upside down) which unfortunately was not captured on this excellent video - John Thorpe
well build and well explained!👍👍
I hope building projects will come out soon! <3
Mind boggling Meccano skillz. What next, a Lorenz 'Fish' cipher machine? And then the Colossus to break it? :) Well done Craig!
Congratulations Craig! Few people have the skills and understanding to achieve all this, so close to the original.
That's proper advanced level engineering. Well done.
Ooh, now I want to build a Meccano Colossus and display opposite Craig next year.
I did think of asking him if he was doing a Bombe for next year's show, but thought better of it 😄
@@ZXGuesser A Bombe might be possible, (it's basically 32 Enigmas all going at once) but it would be difficult to make 3,200 valves out of Meccano 😁😁
Amazing
EXcellent idea ! Needs the B&B theme song added to the clip :)
Amazingly like the original pair, well done.
Nice behind the scenes shot!
When the back cover is fitted, I think the automaton looks a bit deformed. The mechanism, if rearranged, might fit into a slimmer torso. At present, there's room for a large rechargeable battery!
Marvelous
Awesome model. Is this made out of erector set? Was it made for Thomas Heatherwick?
Yes, it is Meccano (Erector was the US brand name until relatively recently). It wasn't made for Heatherwick but his studio know about it and interviewed Alan about it for their website (that video is also on this channel too.)
I have been on one of these
Can I Have it when you're done 😅
Very nice robot, wow!
I love Derek. He looks sooo proud as he surveys his acres !! Lovely model lads.
There are some great models on this film. What worries me is, where are the younger modelers?
You're right, some great models. As for the younger modelers . . . I imagine they'll all be Instagramming and Facebooking and Twittering - doing all the important educational stuff.
Using L**0, I fear.
Fine model there. Ran very well 0:55
Nice hub detail, among other things.
You guys in the UK are always backwards
Hi Bochi! nice work
Very cute robot😅
Superb modelling. I like the parallel motion and its fluted columns
This is indeed amazing. How on earth was the artwork produced?
I think Roger said that the model was featured in Constructor Quarterly and they included the paper roll with the magazine.
That is amazing!
wow.
Very nice work!
Thanks for sharing your video will all ,such brilliant Meccano models made by your members.
Thank you for sharing this very nice video with us👍

Nicely filmed Tim Sertell
Love it !
I love it! This is a joy to see because so much is happening in the set-up and mechanical devices have a certain fascination for many people.
How were Meccano parts fitted onto the mounting boards (sheets) at the factory, with thin wire or with string? Was the wire/string continuous throughout all parts or were similar parts wired/strung to a board/sheet independently from other similar parts?
That is one superb piece of work. I'm interested to see you've adapted it to use a modern can motor. Love it - really good. I also very much like that veteran car displayed beneath it - if I am not mistaken it is copied from a prize winner in a late 1920's/early 30's Meccano Magazine.
Maravilloso modelo, Santiago.
Quel travail pour réaliser toutes ces maquettes, un régal pour les yeux .Bravo
1:38 now THIS model is cool! If I was the builder, I would put some sort of plastic shroud around the boat to make it so it could actually float without any issues. That tractor is also really neat.
Wow, this is impressive!!
Impressive!!!
