A retired machinist acquaintance is interested in building one.
1. Rudy Kouhoupt's machine (intro & few pictures in Pop Mechanics, Feb 1971 but no plans)
2. Rex Tingey's plans in a Unimat book
3. several in past Model Engineer magazines

Has anyone built one of these? Comments on build difficulty.
Are plans available?

Thanks
 
The Kouhoupt articles/plans (loosely a 3/4" scale Case) are usually available in book form through Nation Builder Books. Tony is a great guy and will treat you right.

There is also a plan book on building a 4" 1/3 scale Case. - they are continually being listed on fleabay

Plus Cole's Power Models still lists plans and castings for 1" and 2" scale Case
 
Are castings required for the Kouhoupt? I suppose, more to the point, if required, are they available some 40+ years later?
