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:

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.

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.

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)

The engine is brush painted, as I don't have an airbrush, using Testor's sables of varying sizes. It would look much better had it been airbrushed, but you work with what you got.
The air cleaners are the worst spot, since I stupidly painted them first, and have been using them as a handle while doing the rest of the engine. It seems like Testor's chrome never dries completely and will show prints. They've been repainted twice.
The distributors were the hardest. I used a knife to shave off the molded detail, then drilled holes for Detail Master grey ignition wire. I also drilled holes in the spark plug locations on the cylinder heads. I used reference photos to make the bundles of wires going to the right locations.
The ties on the bundles are very thin strips of masking tape painted semi-gloss black.
The entire engine got a thin black wash as well to give it some depth. Most of it will be hidden when it's actually placed in the car, so I'm taking pics now:)
