Vert interesting and as usual... level of details is superb

Hi Greg, Thanks mate.

Nice work on the chains and springs. Up to your usual high standard. Hopefully you will have a good weekend at the bench

Thanks Steve, No bench time till next week now:disappointed2:

Hi Paul, he started doing those tweaks now I'll sit back and watch the transformation.
Pete.

Hi Pete, will have some fun with this I think.

I shall have words with him mate. Glad you got in.

I'm not getting a lot of bench time but I have managed a little work on the engine. It is nicely moulded but a little simplified. So I have added a little detail including the distributer, spark plugs, cylinder block bolts and the HT leads and tube plus a few other things.


I still need to thin out the cooling fan.

Cheers

Yep - like that Scottie! Great detailing :thumb2:

[Steve Jones]

Very nice additions Paul. Will we get to see much of it on the finished build??

[BigGreg]

AAAAH I was expecting a new installment.... FINALLY... :smiling6: :smiling6: :smiling6: :smiling6: :smiling6:

[Allen Dewire]

Top work Bro, I love the details on the 4-banger!!! But I think you need to reset the gap on the #3 spark plug as she seems to be running a little rough at idle!!! Drive on...…….

Cheers Al, there is hopefully enough to add a bit of interest.

Hi Steve, thanks mate. I hope so I will try and model one of the engine cover open.

Allen, thanks mate I checked it and you were right the gap was a bit tight and I checked the static timing. Now running a bit sweeter.

The engine was sprayed with matt black then with oily steel. The details were then picked out with various colours. The whole lot then received an oily wash and when dry the highlights picked out with a graphite pencil. The chassis rails where the engine fits were sprayed with the vehicle colour. The engine was then fitted. There are still details to be added but some of them will have to wait until later.




apologies for the awful pictures.

Shame about the photos Paul. Looks like you are having the same lighting problems as I do. Looking at getting some "white light" lamps to light up my photographing area. Will let you know how they improve things,

The fan thinning has worked well and I like how all the wires come out of the tube. Great miniature work all round.

[Wouter]

Now that's an original build. Good choice of subject mate. Love the bit of extra detail, really spices it up.

Edit: a couple of daylight LED bulbs in cheap Ikea desk light holders really make a world of difference, I can warmly recommend them ^^

Cheers

Steve, Thanks mate glad you like it. Look forward to any pointers on the pictures.

Hi Wouter good to see you mate. It is a different subject for me as well. Thanks for the pointers with the lights.
