Dann Tier Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hey, everyone!, the following is the evolution of how I take a boring, one-piece engine bay, and turn it into something so much better, with a bit of wiring, and SBing. -Photo 1; Apart from cutting a window, and drilling a ton of holes all over, this is the Whole engine in one part. To the right, I cut some mesh to fit as a covering that the real car has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 -Photo 2; Here is the bit detail painted as Fujimi instructs....still not that great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dann Tier Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 -Photo 3; Here it is with the Dann Touch. I wired up as much as I could, and here I am pointing at the last SB throttle body plate that I made for it. I left it off, so that you can see how huge a difference they make....notice the lower left throttle body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted May 9, 2019 Author Share Posted May 9, 2019 -Photo 7; This is just an under side view to show most of the holes I drilled, and wired-up. Next step will be gluing this bugger in so that I can mate the body, and chassis finally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Hey, everyone!, got a pretty decent update here from last night! -Photo 1; I have successfully installed the glass!, infact, I've never had one go in this easily before....no edge sanding, and it just "clicked" right in!!

Not really accurate, but much better looking overall than the kit piece! Love your Lambo! Edited May 10, 2019 by dino246gt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dann Tier Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) -Photo 6; The next few photos are of the engine in different angles, showing that it CAN look great!.....well, that last photo is rubbish, but I will take a better one with the next update!

I don't mind at all, bud!, that's a great example of the transformation of a VERY basic, and boring part!...NICE job!!! I've built the full detail Aoshima already, and I have one of these Fujimi ones in the works now. I'm doing a "Whose Part Is Better" post as I go along. I cant believe that there is NO coil spring detail!!!, must be the same guy who designed my Reventon kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
