crazyrichard Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 started on a mini table metal mill , i choose a small version to put on the bench , looks cool and handy for those small bushes and bolt turning / milling ... the turnwheel comes from a cheap tiny toy car ... i saved that when i found it ounce .. lucky because thats to small to make that detailed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted November 20, 2014 Author Share Posted November 20, 2014 started on a v8 in a engine stand .... opened the block where the vlaves / rockers are ... painted that black and i want to make actual valves rockers in there , not sure how detailed since the size will be uber small the weathered res is done to make it look like and old block being rebuild , silver is metal coat so there is no paint because the gaskets sit there the stand really turns i have the matching valve covers those will prob. sit on the bench together with other engine parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted November 21, 2014 Author Share Posted November 21, 2014 went on with the engine stand .. added a frame and a hand cranck to turn the block it also turns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) detailing the engine is partially a succes and a fail ... using this chevy 409 from a kit was easy .. but putting in all the detail afterwards proved to be .. hard it should be so small .. it would have been betetr to scratchbuild a engine block and make sure al the holes where there for the rods and rockers etc ... so i made steel pins with tiny springs on them .. and made it so it looks like its mostly took apart .. not 100% realistic but not bad either (?) in the middle i taped of the hole the carb mounts on .. on the pics it lights up to much but its reall tape the yellow tear tape Edited November 22, 2014 by crazyrichard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted November 22, 2014 Author Share Posted November 22, 2014 i had a set of casted headers in the partsbox (casted i mean like in real life heavy iron cast) .. they where solid so i drillen them open .... then put humbrol metal coat on it , a dark grey version .... after 15 minutes i tryed buffing it a bit with a cloth , that brings the metal effect to life .. this is how they turned out .. neir perfect effect .. now i could let the paint harden and then buf them real good , that would make them more metal like and shiney but thats not the look it needs... so brand new looking cast headers .. thought of making them used and with browns but i wanted to try this dark metal coat also working on some smalls like a carb part and a battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
