Eldridge Fiat Mefisto 1/12 Italeri - Brief WIP

[Codger]

Congratulations on your new partnership and best health.

 

I can hear the bang, clatter and rattle of that pile of metal(s) just by seeing your work. Wonderful presentation of that old dragon Sam.

Dear Codger and Thierry,  thank you    yes indeed.

[sharknose156]

latest update: the distributors, finally ! it was not a simple walk in the woods.....and cables.

 

Still not happy with the vintage taping around the cables, so am testing other solutions 

 

 

some tubes and the links of the manifolds will receive a metal paste to make it look like welded tubes.

also some fine tuning on the pipes i did not notice before looking at the picture !!

Italeri should have strived for a look anywhere near yours. This really looks like a serious engine block (or... two; or... four) with everything in its designated place. 

 

I'm glad to see you're catching up with this devil of a car.

Thank you very much

 

i have been very busy alas and traveling and so progress is slow.

 

This engine is an incredible piece of engineering and almost art to me.

Indeed it deserves some attention. My capability has limits unfortunately but i hope next builders will push it further.

 

Much much potential detailing possible still, and not too hard, just needs time and patience....and lots of LOVE
