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

Thats cool, now you just need to build the rest of the garage(shop).

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.

Fantastic JT, oil residue look amazingly real.

I'm with Sasa :)
Very imaginative time filler :thumbsup:

Very nice! But 20 minutes....?

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"?

Great idea and brilliant execution!
Very neat.

Very nice! But 20 minutes....?

:iagree: 100%

Very nice! :thumbsup:

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.

This is incredible! I must try one of these some time. 5 stars from me!

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!
