TomcatFanatic123 Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 A few minor odds & ends to tie up, but for the most part she's done. I'm pretty happy with it. Now onto the Viper itself :huh: ! Critiques and opinions please, please, please!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TomcatFanatic123 Posted June 11, 2005 Author Share Posted June 11, 2005 (edited) And the business end... Weathering - too much or too little??? I may make some adjustments because it looks a little uneven to me. Edited June 11, 2005 by TomcatFanatic123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Henk Koppelaar Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I agree with Habu. If I were you i would weather it a little bit more. Especially at the end of the exhaust Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I'll add a third opinion for adding more soot. Also, keep in mind that the part closest to the turbine is much darker than the parts closest to the end of the engine. Here's a look up a Colorado ANG block 30 to show what I'm talking about. There is a very wide variety of appearances to the exhaust, so don't be afraid to experiment. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they are part of the engine, what color are they? They look kind of gunmetal-ish to me. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You know, I'm really not sure. They appear to be part of the engine, as a very unscientific search through my photos shows many, but not all, GE engines have those stripes. This may be a question for a Viper fixer/driver. I think your exhaust looks much better now. Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
