SOME Porsche 356 Progress

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd post a couple more pictures of the 356 Progress. I haven't done much except engine work, and it's taken quite a bit of time. If you haven't seen my Porsche yet, there are some pics here:

http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...5&pagenumber=2

Anyway, here's those engine pics:





It's pretty much done except for the exhaust (I still need to paint and weather it) and some more parts. I'm afraid of overworking it.

Sean

thanks!

Thanks guys for the compliments! I think wiring those distibutors has made me blind!

It's my first job on a model car engine, I've only built airplanes, and I've never wired an engine before!

Nope, no photoshopping there except for levels. There may be a little perspective because the quarter's in front, but it's a tiny, tiny engine.

Thumbs up

Excellent work...can't wait to see the finished car.

Too bad Fujimi doesn't put out kits that are as detailed as their older Porsche's and Ferrari's (I think)
