'Volvo F12 Engine for Sale' Vignette

I call this little vignette 'Kompis pris' Directly translated - 'Friends Price' or 'mate's rate'. Doesn't sound right in English but if you are a Swede, then you will understand the joke behind it. The engine is an old Volvo engine I bought from a private sale. The kit had been partly built so I decided to make use of just the engine and scrape the rest. Engine the pics.

Ah, you people who build junk/crashed models. You are a special breed. (If English is not your first language that may not translate well - You are an unusual kind of person.)

If you have friends that would sell you an engine in that condition you don't need enemies

It looks great, I love the weathering and the rust effects you have managed to get to look so realistic. Well done.
