Rotorman Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Update on the engine. Applying wires and hoses is quite a tricky task. More hoses and wiring to be done later. Oliver Edited February 11, 2013 by Rotorman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rotorman Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) THE ENGINE IS DONE.YEEEPEEEE!! I will cut the white stick as soon as the engine trolley is painted. I sprayed a very diluted black all over the engine in order to tone down the alu parts that sparkled too much. I think I went a little too dark and lost some of the shading effects.I hate making those stupid mistakes. I do a have a tendency to go to dark when I paint anyway. I did add the RBF tags. Thanks everyone for all the kind words and support on this build. I know I post a lot of photos and I am sure it gets old replying to all my posts but I sure appreciate the interest.

Rotorman Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Finished the cart today as well as the last few details on the engine I want to add two yellow straps around the engine to add some color and life to the very drab engine. Love to get some feedback on that. I am aware that it may not be done that way in real life. Here it is with straps before paint Quote Link to post Share on other sites
