I had built a couple of Cosworth v8 racing engines for another project which I had not completed and I am using one for the power unit of the car. I intend to use as much as the doner kit as possible but with lots of mods here are a couple of images please let me know what you think of my project. regards Baz Attached to this post: ENGINE_FROM_ABOVE.jpg (22.59 KB) ENGINE_TEST_FIT.jpg (26.32 KB) ENGINE_COOLING.jpg (24.07 KB) ENINGE_AND_G_BOX_INSTALLED.jpg (23.31 KB) WHEEL_AND_ENGINE.jpg (21.26 KB) SMALL_APOC_CAR_IMAGES.jpg (24.59 KB) engine_body_test_fit.jpg (33.31 KB) Edited by baz, Mar 9 2013, 01:15 AM.

WOW!............i've said it once i'll say it again mate your work is outstanding!................ok, a quick question or two, is the engine scratch built? it looks like it! or a resin cast? could you do a step by step'ish! tutorial on your paint method has i've a feeling its going to be very 'military modelling style'! i could be wrong! but that style would suit this size build and looking at your M3 that looks damn good, Baz, once more for those who didnt hear! 'outstanding!' mate. cheers AL Edited by london1662, Mar 14 2013, 05:36 AM.

I will stick plenty of pics on as I go I am no expert I just keep trying to improve as I go and I have been building models for a long time about 40 years though not as big and not scratchbuilt. If I can help in any other way let me know regards Baz.

Ghoul Posts: 12 Group: Members Member #568 Joined: Feb 26, 2013	Hi Al the exhuast were painted with good old fashioned Humbrol enamels the colour is a mix of bronze gold rust and a dash of black, I could not tell you the exact ratio as this is just done on the spot, I also sometimes brush on another colour while the paint is drying to see what effect I get trial and error really I hope to have this vehicle complete soon and will of course be porsting loads of pics, I hope that this helps let me know if you I can help with anything else, regards Baz ( the old guy) Attached to this post: DSCF0112.jpg (116.29 KB) DSCF0109.jpg (124.52 KB)

Ghoul Posts: 12 Group: Members Member #568 Joined: Feb 26, 2013	Hello Mr Crazy Joe, thank you for your coments, yes the seat will be very dirty this is only the first bits of weathering I have all the chassis and engine to finish yet then get out on location and shoot some good shots for the webpage. regards Baz ( the old guy )
