Brilliant work, great detailing indeed!  Small details do count and it shows here  

Thanks for sharing the build.

Nicely detailed Cat. Those were the sweetest engine around.

That is a beautifully detailed engine. I'm a big fan of engines, both full-size and in-scale, and this is one of the most detailed in-scale engines I have ever seen.

I agree. They are one of the most interesting parts of a build. Whether it’s 1:1 or a model, one of my first questions is always “what’s under the hood?” Thanks!

Very impressive!  That is some fine model building. Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks! I have this engine in the Peterbilt 379 RV build thread over in the Big Rig WIP section.

Glad you like it. It’s going into a unique project - a Peterbilt 379 RV conversion, or toterhome.

I started a build thread not too long ago over in the Big Rig WIP section of the forum. I have the chassis completed at this point, with a bunch more to be added soon.
