put them on the bench .. together with a sort of carb part , got that from my partsbox , dechromed it drilled the top and side open and chromed it .. then washed it with black .. the battery isnt done just loose on there needs yellow caps and terminals here you also see the engine good , the steel rods / pins with actual springs around them

i had a set of casted headers in the partsbox (casted i mean like in real life heavy iron cast) .. they where solid so i drillen them open .... then put humbrol metal coat on it , a dark grey version .... after 15 minutes i tryed buffing it a bit with a cloth , that brings the metal effect to life .. this is how they turned out .. neir perfect effect .. now i could let the paint harden and then buf them real good , that would make them more metal like and shiney but thats not the look it needs... so brand new looking cast headers .. thought of making them used and with browns but i wanted to try this dark metal coat also working on some smalls like a carb part and a battery

thnx pim !! maybe you should start a build thead here ?!

detailing the engine is partially a succes and a fail ... using this chevy 409 from a kit was easy .. but putting in all the detail afterwards proved to be .. hard it should be so small .. it would have been betetr to scratchbuild a engine block and make sure al the holes where there for the rods and rockers etc ... so i made steel pins with tiny springs on them .. and made it so it looks like its mostly took apart .. not 100% realistic but not bad either (?) in the middle i taped of the hole the carb mounts on .. on the pics it lights up to much but its reall tape the yellow tear tape

went on with the engine stand .. added a frame and a hand cranck to turn the block it also turns

thnx guys !!

started on a v8 in a engine stand .... opened the block where the vlaves / rockers are ... painted that black and i want to make actual valves rockers in there , not sure how detailed since the size will be uber small the weathered res is done to make it look like and old block being rebuild , silver is metal coat so there is no paint because the gaskets sit there the stand really turns i have the matching valve covers those will prob. sit on the bench together with other engine parts

thnx neal much apriciated

and then the paint dryed .. , painted lots of chrome , a few washes and drybrushing .. power cord , safety sign and it on the bench still need some smalls like shavings , a few tools on and next to it ..
