That motor is very very clean! Very nice!

Great looking engine!!!!!

Nice job detailing that Hemi!

:eek: Great start !!! Fantastic work there on the engine..........

Mike :smokin:

Very neat engine detail! I`m excited to see this one finished! :)

Those wires are places soo neatly and look soo clean. Great job!

Beautiful engine detail!

A masterpiece in the making!!:sunglasse

your work is so flawless!

are those scratch built engine dress ups? If not, where do you get your supplies because I would love to build an engine any where near good as that one.

Thank you very much!
The engine detail is scratch built using extra pieces from various places.
The larger tube at the base of the sparkplug wires is from a 12 scale motorcycle kit.
The Black wires are Model Factory Hiro purchased from www.1999.co.jp.
The rest is very fine solder painted various colors.
Wire clamps (you really cannot see in the pictures) are foil tape cut very very thin and painted flat black.
They should actually be gloss but I wanted some separation in color to make them visible.
Biggest part of success here was the reference pictures that can be found in the diary on my website www.racedaymodels.com


The body has been primed and interior started.
More updates will be coming soon.

Chris

Update:

Body was primed, bare metal foil placed over the emblems. The car was then painted metalic green.
The emblems were then lightly sanded to take off the top layer of paint, exposing the bare metal foil.
Never tried this before but i'm pleased with how it turned out.

The engine was test fitted again following this stage.

What color do you use for the panel lines on something this dark? Suggestions are needed!

Enjoy.

thats awsome ill have to try it some time! :)

That is one great detail in paint on your engine, I love the Color, What is the name of it. :iceslolan

Great build so far, the detail is awesome!!!!!!!!!!

Wow the BMF technique is awesome. I'll use that on the next Impala I build!

That BMF really does add a nice touch.

Nissan~Guru the color is Dupli Color Deep Metallic Green

Great tips on the BMF technique, and nice build by the way :smile:

That is a very sweet looking ride so far! Great tips also.

Nissan~Guru the color is Dupli Color Deep Metallic Green


Thanks, I love the color so much I went and got my own can at a local autozone :iceslolan

Builder,
That`s a great result on the BMF, IMO!
What are your thoughts on the duplicolor? I have been using it wherever I can, and I dont think any others come close as far as complete coverage.

Very nice :thumbsup:

Just a question about your BMF technique. I guess you removed the excess of BMF around the logos before you painted the green?

Thanks everyone!

Hawk312, I love Dupli Color!
They do cover well and they have an outstanding range of colors. I do have a problem getting a glossy finish most times resulting in a lot of clear coats and polish!

Deedlit, I removed the majority of the BMF before painting. Be careful when doing this as it is easy to peal up the BMF, or the knife blade can leave marks that will need to be sanded out. I did this and had to sart over and sand the fine cuts out of the area.

Another update will be coming this weekend.

Chris

great job on that bare metal foil. I have to try that. What do you use to stick it to the surface?
I've tried using some silver leaf type stuff but it won't stick to any glues that I've got.

BMF is self-adhesive.

Very nice!

Another update.
Body clear coated and the top was painted Satin Black.
I am now ready to BMF window frames.
