I've kept my comment's in too long, This has to be the most beautiful model I've ever seen. I wish I could build 1/4 as good as you! Those turbo/filter look so perfect. I can't wait till you start really detailing the motor..

I think it would be better to place the 2nd turbo behing no. 1 just like standard layout or place them in a little angle like it is done on big twin setup.
You will find some good pictures on the gtr register. I´ve never seen a setup with 2 turbos almost next to each other.

This is the best I can get , I think Oh well that's hows it's gonna be


Here are the inlet pipes painted with Alcad and the filters painted up as well.

As a tangent, check out this 1/4 scale working Viper V10 engine... (not sure if this has been posted here or not.)

great work hiroboy that engine looks almost real. that viper engine looks cool, but $250,000 i think i'll buy the real car instead and save about $100,000

Not that it hasn't been said a thousand times in this thread, but that's just awe inspiring. This is the most amazing work I've seen.

Oh, and I'm insanely jealous of your real R32 as well.

[tazdev]

and it is official . . .


your crazy but in a good way of course

hmm... the engine layout seems kinda off comparing to the real engine in your car
Are the turbos supposed to stick up like that? (in the first pic) and isnt there supposed to be a intercooler pipe where it says "Twinturbo" on top? dont kill me if im wrong, just wanted to know. Nice progress
