[Randy D]

Hi Folks,

 After a 7 week  journey  from Germany to Colorado we have motors !!   Three different engines from 'Mad Mike'  are in stock.

These are 3-D printed and  will build into outstanding models.   They are available here....

Thank you,

Randy

I placed an order now as I figured these would sell out quickly. ?

I am trying to resist.

I ordered the two bottom ones. Will order the DOHC in 1/24 should it become available.

[vamach1]

Got my order today.  That was quick.  Thanks Randy.  Here is one of the three engines I ordered.  Looks like I have some work to do.

My order arrived a little while ago.  Thank you Randy!

I also ordered and received one of these.  Found it curious that there are 8 Weber carbs, but glad there are since one of the stacks has a broken out section.  They are very thin and realistically scaled.

Anybody deciding yet on colors to paint these??

[Randy D]

Hi Ray,

   Michael explained to me that he was not happy with the way some of the  carbs printed on those GT40 Mk1 sets so he included an extra set of 4.

  As for colors for the Mk 2 427  I was looking at the RK Motors site. They did an extensive restoration on #2, the '66 LeMans winner and have a nice photo album.

 

[Mr. Metallic]

Man, sold out.

Thanks for offering these Randy. I hope this isn't a one-shot deal and you'll offer more in the future

Hi Craig,

  The re-order went in the day I received them:)

  Michael is adding his  911 flat six Porshe motor to this order.

  We hope to avoid our shipping woes this time as we are not in the holiday crush!

What scale is the 911 engine Randy?

[Randy D]

Hi JC,

  I would assume 1/24th based on his motors to date but I will check with Michael.

Pictures don't do these justice, the detail is incredibly sharp and clean. 

[vamach1]

I may change the engine block color on the MKII engine but here's the three painted but unassembled.

[vamach1]

Too bad the Hachette diecast does not open up.  I guess the engine will go in the Thunder Valley or Fujumi kit.

Hello everyone, new engines are currently on their way to Model Builder's Warehouse - they should be somewhere above the atlantic right now.

In addition to the sold out ones Randy already had on offer there's going to be the Boss 494 engine

plus another version of the sbf 289, this time with a Holley.

 

[sfhess]

Bypass hose missing on that 289.  Picky, picky, picky.......

[Bill J]

Awesome engines and awesome work my Mike. i have the MKI and MKII engines and it looks like I need to be ready to order some others. I love them all and they make fine stand alone models.

Yes - they are very cool.  Still working on putting mine together and then figuring out which kit to put them in.  I's thinking the Thunder Valley MKI, a modified Fujumi MKII and either a 289 Cobra or 65 Shelby R model.

[mad mike]

Rex, thanks for the pics! Finally I get to see some of those painted.

Bill, thanks for the kind words! Do you have build any of the engines yet? I'd love to see pics!

If anyone of you guys who bought some of those engines has any issues with it, please tell me so that I can make it better next time.

[1930fordpickup]

My wallet is starting to hurt just looking at these again. So many ideas.

The only issue I had was with MKII engine exhaust pipe brackets which are really thin and fragile.  I ended up making a thicker bracket as it broke off and at that point it would have been too weak to support the pipes.  While my fix my not be exact to scale - it was a oompromise that almost no one would notice (except whoever reads this).  I am going to use that engine in a Fujumi MK II kit that I am kit bashing with an MPC Mark IV to complete the engine compartment along with some HRM parts.  The small block engine is going in a Thunder Valley MKI body on a Fujumi chassis with HRM extras.  Instead of a Gulf version I will do another livery.
