So there’s no shortcut? You have to model each component ‘by hand’ in software? Yeah I could see that taking some time. Only so many parts though I guess.

Pretty much that, yeah. Things like the gear cases are the most time consuming cos they're rather intricate - and require lots of measuring to make sure everything's reasonably accurate (aiming for nearest 0.5mm in this case). Very satisfying when you model parts independently and they actually fit together tho'.

Not sure how to explain that in simple terms. Complicated business, or at least doing it well is.
