kobuzz Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 Impressive!!! I agree with the above comments about selling sets of the valve covers. I would definately be interested in a few pairs if you ever decide to. With what you have posted so far it's easy to see the bar is about to be raised!!

cobraman Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I have to agree with my friend Brian on this build. I love seeing the builds of you modelers with such great talent. Trouble is when I go back to my projects I think to myself " Why bother ? "
W-409 Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 WOW!!!!! How is this even possible?! Incredible work, Bill. Cylinder Heads, Valve Covers and engine Block look just like real parts. Great job, I will watch this one very closely. B)
Farmboy Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) I know. The dime is really 10" in diameter! The whole thing's a Photoshop! Seriously, this is Wingrove level stuff. That's not you name is it? I'e never encountered work like this before...and you're sharing the steps not just the finished product! Excellent excellent excellent! Edited August 4, 2012 by Farmboy
