Welcome to Liverpool!
Yes, definitely looking forward to this. I think we can be sure that Tim's MW won't have a painted plastic dome cover.*Gets Popcorn* ........ this is going to be amazing!
It would be useful to have some dimensions for the valve gear, as these are going to be very critical. I spent most of today working out chassis dimensions and roughing out the frames.

One thing I have noticed was that the Heljan crank throw was about 0.5mm short. Can’t think why.
Well, reducing the crank throw is one way of improving clearances at the front and back of cylinders and slidebars. I think it's reasonable to expect that your hand-built model will be assembled to closer tolerances (!!) and therefore that you'd find the dodge unnecessary. It's turning into a lovely build, I have my popcorn and am watching with interest.
