That's kickass :) but why is the coil wire going into the valve cover?? Or is that the coil on top of the head?

I love the leaking pan. How did you do that? The oil looks real

Quite abused to be 20 minutes old....
Ok in other words good weathering :D

But.... I'm more interested in the story of those 1/24 barrell cap.....
Is it supposed to be 1/24 Jack Daniel ageing gear? Or bolted "Amarone"?

Quite impressive, James. Only sticking it together in 20min or does that already include the weathering? Nevertheless... great job and a nice little minidio :biggrin:

thanks guys,

I dug around my junk box and found an engine that was glued together, i just had to paint it. by the time the glued up popsicle sticks for the base dried everything was done.

how did you make the engine stand? i have been trying for a while and i never get it right, but it does look great.
it came in an AMT kit. a Nova if i remember right.

Is this a Ford L6? What kit is this from? I need to find a Chevy L6 for my Nova model. Do you know of any kits that have a Chevy L6 motor? I have the AMT Nova and it's a V8. Maybe different kit though.

Looks great! I love the leaks all over it, very convincing! You have a knack for capturing reality in miniature. That looks just beautiful.

Very, very nice work!!!

I as well would like to know how you did your weathering. I know there is a lot there that I could learn from you!
