TFchronos Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Just how did you shrink that 1:1 engine down? Seriously, phenomenal craftsmanship on that engine, it's mind blowing. Can't wait to see more on this build.
slusher Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 So much detail that it looks a real engine. So impressive...
eferrari Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Tim, Extraordinary work with an amazing amount of detail on your Henry J Twin-turbo. Ron
Mike Kucaba Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 This work you have been showing defies description !! Fantastic barely covers it! Great Stuff.
Byron5150 Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 wow im speechless on the detail of that engine
John Teresi Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Codi……."Wow"…….un-real………talk about the new sheriff in town……..you fill those pants very well
Codi Posted August 19, 2014 Author Posted August 19, 2014 Hello and THANK YOU to each and everyone of you that has taken a peek at this thread and commented. I've gotten a new burst of energy off of your comments & acknowledgement of what I've been building. Can't wait to get back to the bench now. I'm going to make an effort to do a true WIP on this particular build. I have a car to wrap up (my curbside LSR project) and then I'm into this build with both feet. I'll do my level best to post my progress and answer your questions along the way. I am certain that I'll reach out to YOU for answers to my questions as I go along. To Mr. Teresi.....I want to personally say thank you as you are not only a great SCRATCHbuilder but are incredibly prolific as well. John, you build in 1 year what takes me 3, 4 maybe even 5 years to do. That has always amazed me. Love your stuff too if you can't tell. Anyway, please be patient with me as this thread will go "quiet" soon as I want to finish the other project (which I promise to post when done) and then pick this one up along with a couple others. Cheers, Tim
72 Charger Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 WOW Tim It will be a shame to hide that master peice under a body . I tip my hat to you More please.
Codi Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 Hi Dave, the plan now is to display the car "Batson style" (a term I learned from Clay Kemp) which is basically posing the engine as you see it outside / alongside the finished body & chassis. I can't bring myself to cover it up now. Thank you for your post. Tim
ClayK Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Um, what? You built that and are thanking me?? Holy cow man. That is unreal!! I love engines, and I love machining.....this blows me away. Fantastic!
Codi Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 Clay, I have the utmost respect for your abilities and your willingness to learn NEW things. In the short time you've had your mill I am always amazed at your posts and the level of your building. Now before it gets any mushier here....let me just say I hope we can meet sometime at a show and spend some time chatting. Keep up YOUR great work. In the next few weeks I'm going to finally start using my mill....I hope I can be where you're at in a few years. Tell Jim @ MicroNitro I said 'hi' next time you see him. Cheers, Tim
misterNNL Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 This is truly a benchmark model that raises the bar for every builder that strives for perfection.Great photography as well.I will be watching in absolute awe as this progresses!
Wonderbread Kustomz Posted August 20, 2014 Posted August 20, 2014 Wow!!! This is just some insane detailing at its finest...
Codi Posted August 20, 2014 Author Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) Guys, I wanted to show this pic as I've seen your comments about the motors scale. I think you'll get a good chuckle from this 1 pic. Thank you again for the kind comments. Cheers, Tim Edited December 25, 2014 by Codi
Custom Mike Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 Tim, that's just stunning work! I'm a long way from anything even approaching this level of work, thanks for keeping me grounded! And I've seen Mark Batson's builds in person, your work is right there with his, you are one gifted builder!
RancheroSteve Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 (edited) Do you have a giant size penny (or quarter)? Seriously though - some of the best detail work I've seen! Edited August 21, 2014 by RancheroSteve
ningoth4 Posted August 21, 2014 Posted August 21, 2014 I can only say..."holy BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH"!!!!!!! That is some amazing building quality! That engine looks exactly like the real thing. Kevin
