@Randy D, Your engine is nothing short of amazing. The detailing is nuts. Well done indeed.

[Gary Chastain]

Impressive work on that motor build

[Chariots of Fire]

Oh, Man!  What a beautiful engine.  I am about to start a Hercules Diesel from the 1940's.  You've moved the bar way up for me!  Love what you have done.

[stavanzer]

Holy Wah!

The detail work is amazing!

Eye Strain for sure building that.

What a unique subject for a build.

It looks great so far.

Just amazing detail, Randy - from the little chain on the oil filler tube to the alternator wiring (and its wiring diagram in the background!), oh, and everything in between - great work!

[Biggu]

Phenomenal !!!!!! 

[Jürgen M.]

Unbelievable! Not just having the knowledge of all those details but building it with that accuracy is far from any competition!

You should sell those models, you could make a lot of people happy and earn quite some money with it too!

I'm absolutely stunned!

Thanks for sharing this!

[Gary Chastain]

Wow, that is impressive detail on the engine, well done.
