vintagedragfan Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yeah..... the hood. How the heck did you do THAT!?!?! Everything looks incredible. Is that embossing foil used on the hood? I have done that on a few old ford models to have the louvers visible in the inside of the hood. it's .005 aluminum that i bernished over the kit hood, thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagedragfan Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 I got a little more work done today, I think I have the turbos more or less buttoned up, I will probably add a little heat staining here and there and call it good..they are not perfect , it is pretty tough for me to try and duplicate everything backwards and make it all fit and line up.. LOLthanks for checkin in!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

severin681 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 lol omg, there isn't much I could say that hasn't already been stated, but going through this thread and seeing all that fabulous, amazing work just simply brings a smile to my face. All I can do is work with plastic at the moment, but this certainly inspires me to be creative and look for ways to push my own work. Thanks for being a great inspiration!

frozono Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) Men i'm speechles.....the detail, the craftmanship is awesome. I show the pics to my 7 years old son and explain to him the real size of the engine. He ask me "this engine work and how he put gas on it?". Its look so real. Awesom job.

ll Brandon ll Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 That is quite literally the most beautiful model engine I have ever seen. And frankly, it rivals some real engines, imo. 2 questions, for someone without an airbrush, whats a good way to do proper heat staining? And two, how did you do your collectors?
