Detail Questions

[cderekw]

So I'm new at this...currently working on my second model ever. I've been through the under glass forum and the engine detail is amazing. I was wondering if anyone can share with me on how to do the wiring and where to buy the materials also. The model I'm working on is a Rebellion 70 Boss 429. I would also like different wheels for it. Please help.

There are so many place's to buy what you could ever want for this hobby, I am going to give you link that has a very long list of after market sellers http://www.rocketfin.com/model_car_links.html

I buy my spark plug wire from scale dreams, you have to spend a $10 minimum, but the shipping is cheap and great guy to deal with http://stores.scaled.../Categories.bok

As for wheels, there are again so many different places to get the wheels you want.

If you don't want to order plug wires you can use telephone wire.

OK. So does anyone have any tips or a guide for wiring the engine...I've got a reference for the firing order. I'm just not sure how to actually do it and have it turn out good. Thanks alot guys.

I have only done it twice. My first time I tried to glue the wires to the kit distributor and they ended up caked with glue. my second time a made a distributor out of sprue then ended up making a magneto.

Jonathan, your 2 links are the same. Any chance of re-posting that long list link please?

Telephone wire is too large a diameter, but you can use the insulation for boots. The wire from Scale Dreams is much better. I did a tutorial for a Fatkidd style distributor. You might want to give one a try.

i use 30 gage wire from radio shak, and telephone wire for the boots... the 30 gage wire comes in loads of colours and also in LONG lenghts so it'll last a life time lol

While we are on the topic of details, how do yall make smaller details pop? For example I'm working on a Vette and I'm trying to make the "Corvette" on the back bumper stand out.

Okay. Here are the Powerpoint slides I used for an engine wiring seminar I did for the C.A.R.S. in Miniature club on March 10:
