Why don't very many of you....
Detail the engines of your models.

Don't get me wrong, I have seen a bunch of excellent models and some not so good models, but still a good effort. The only thing I don't see a lot of is fully wired and plumbed engines. Can someone please share with me why not?

I've been wanting to detail my engines, but I currently lack a pin vise which would make things easier. I'll probably only detail muscle cars though, since most come with very nice engine detail.

I rarely do, I don't have time to build fully detailed models for the most part, I had rather have more built than less built but detailed. Many of my models don't have engines anyway.

First off WELCOME to AF sr20ser!

I have never detailed engines because to me (just my personal opinion) the wires and such aren't very realistic. Though I often like weathered models, I usually prefer them to be neat, clean and tidy. Not saying that a great wiring job can't look nice....just that I can't/won't put forth the effort to do it.

Once again.... WELCOME

-Rick

crismag - That is INSANE! How in the hell can you do that!?!?! You have a steadier hand than I! Great work!!

Sometimes you just cannot find the correct reference for the engine bay.
What will you guys do you can't find the ref? Just use your educated guess?

What I think is that many people either do not have the time to do so much details to the engine or do not have the skills to scratch build all the parts in the engine compartment.
