Nice bed, pretty engine

X2 .Now you need a Rupp snowmobile as well.

The Boss wanted to display his Cannonball car close to his office. That meant moving the engine display stand beside the entrance door.

There it is, a bit of time, patience and good reference photos go a long way. the only thing which doesn't resemble the real thing is the water pump, not even close. I enjoyed this, hope you guys do as well.

Wired the distributor and magneto.

The cars, the showroom, the whole thing.

Nice day today so I hopped into the Mustang and drove 60 miles to visit the owner of the 1:1 and the shop it is being worked on. Didn't bargain on 25 of those miles being a construction site with 3 stops in 90 degree heat in a black vinyl interior convertible. Nevertheless it was an enjoyable ride. Body is ready to paint. Went to his home and checked the upholstery. Should be able to do that while I wait for the paint. He ordered a spray can for touch ups and will lend it to me for the model.

Added nuts to what looks like an inspection cover and highlighted several features to add visual interest.

Anyone have an idea as to the actual size 1:1 of the swirls on a Bugatti engine?. I am going to attempt making my own decals. If that doesn't work I'll spring for one of Speedway Decal's sheets.

Did that. Tommy still has them. thank you.

Thank you silvester

Nice work.

thanks guys. now I have something to chew into. I wonder if Alyn's technique would work directly on the plastic?

Love it.

Do they make engine turning decals like they make carbon fiber decals? I will have a Bugatti engine to build someday.

The use/waste ratio is very high. I use more paint wiping the stir stick than I put on the parts.

Bill, this is likely what happened. Now, can these seals be replaced or do I have to buy a new pump. Just for fun, I Googled seal kits and come up with replacement pumps. I'm going to look in the book to see if they have a procedure to purge the cylinders.

Me too.

Don't feel bad, it seems to be routine with me.

André, what kit is that? Mine was Hasegawa and doesn't have an engine.

Brian, this wasn't wrinkling or lifting, it was like it shot powder for an instant.

This is the pile that engine comes from,

No I used a brand called Premier. It was the only grey light enough I could find locally. it worked well on the spoon and decided to spew grit on the model. I'll do more testing before using it again on the model.
