Any more progress on this one? Bobthehobbyguy

Very cool project. Nice work. bobthehobbyguy

Chris, The engine block does't look real shiny. Try the semi matte aluminum on a spoon. Also see if somebody has some pictures that of engine do you know which engine builder he used. There were only a few big name builders at that time. bobthehobbyguy

Chris, Yeah the wash helps to give a little more depth if you look at a real engine there are shadows that do not show in scale. Do you have any good reference shots of the motor out of the chassis. The one shot in the frame is hard to see much of the block. I think that might help with the finish. Hope this helps. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, It looks great. bobthehobbyguy

Chris, Engine block looks good. However I think you need to do a test spray over black and compare with the reference of the engine. Also you need to consider that the block doesn't need to be glossy. In addition you may need to use a light black or smoke wash to make the block look more realistic. What you have so far for the engine looks great. Bobthehobbyguy

Chris, Looks good. How did you end up filling the gap? bobthehobbyguy

Chris, One solution would be to use Tamiya surface primer which you could brush into the gap or you could do the same thing with the primer you are using I would use capillary action to fill the gap and try to pick spots that are easy to clean up. You might want to try this out with a test case to figure out how much to thin the primer and the best way to apply. I do not think putty or ca would clean up that well. Hope this helps . bobthehobbyguy.

Chris, Keeps getting better. When I look at the mockup vs reference ohotos the bottke looks good but the brackets are twice the thickness of the actal parts. Is it oossible to have thinner parts printed. bobthehobbyguy

Looking good Ira. Keep up the good work. bobthehobbyguy

Chris, it is a pleasure to watch this project. Looking foward to seeing it done. I am curious why you didnt decide to make the bottle brackets from aluminum. To me I think it would be easier and the finish would be right. bobthehobbyguy

Just saw this post. Really nice concept. Like your color choice. Looking forward to seeing this one done. Keep up the good work. bobthehobbyguy

Harry, Without the bill it looks real. bobthehobbyguy

Ira Wow talk about thing outside of the box. Can't wait to see more. Where does the Ferrari fit in. bobthehobbyguy

Just found this post . This is a great build. Lots of nice fab work! bobthehobbyguy

Chris, This is coming along nicely. However if you look at the pictures of cover plates in the rear the holes are not drilled through straight where the bolts come through. You've done a great job so far and I would hate to see this slip by. Keep up the good work. bobthehobbyguy

Just a thought but for the numbers an outfit like Galaxie Limited might be interested in this a run of 10k is probably too small for the bigger companies to consider. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, Another cool project. bobthehobbyguy

nice job bobthehobbyguy

Love the bike, Jeep and the trailer. Keep up the good work. bobthehobbyguy

John, Cool project. Where did you get the wire wheels from? Thanks, bobthehobbyguy

Nice start. Will be watching this one. bobthehobbyguy

Ira, When are you posting the finished photos for this? Have been looking forward to seeing the engines installed. bobthehobbyguy

John, Wow another one out of the part. bobthehobbyguy

Dr. Really like this one. See you are a 49 mercury building spree. bobthehobbyguy
