looking good so far mate, wish i had the space for one

 

cheers fella

i've got to get some more blue paint to touch it up where needed and paint the floor grey and get some garage equipment for it, im also making some shelves for it tmoz

 

quick update on my mk3 escort

the bits for the sierra cossie yb blocks arrived today big thanks to steve

i can finally fit it today im just waiting on the paint to dry but im not sure which block i want to put in the mk3 as i have painted them both different colors, 1 has a color coded rocker to match the car with gold detailing and the other has a gold rocker with blue detailing

any ideas which 1 would look better?

pics up in a bit once they are both dry and the pics will be of each block in the car to see which 1 looks best

 

id go for gold mate, something different, ive been wanting to do a gold engine bay on a car for a while just hard finding the right car to suit it

think i need myself an AE86

 

cheers fella

im putting pics up soon so i can get peoples ideas and that so but never know i might end up putting the gold block in it

 

Funny as I found this pick last night.

 

lol
that looks sweet as f$&k lol

puttin pics up in a min

 

will be an update on my mk3 van tomoz, still a few more things to be done, redone roof and its now how it was but it aint completely dry at min, bonnet is nearly done and ready 4 paint, and thanks to roy ive got some more lights 4 it. its really starting to look like a mk4 on the front now.

the painted sierra cossie yb motors


the blue motor???


or the gold motor???


your oppinions and comments welcome

 

Looks a lot better with the posters on the wall, more realistic

 

cheers mate

im just about to make some shelves for it and touch up the paint where it needs it

 

Ive never seen one of those before.

 

like ur little wheelspin mark onthe floor lol

 

speedy, get them cossie motors painted realisticly, will look much better mate

 

lol cheers fella

that was paint that spilled and i just wiped it with a cloth lol

 

lol

 

how do i go about that mate?

 

update on my garage

i've just made and fitted some shelves and now im waiting for the glue to set then im going to paint 'em

and i've fitted the gold sierra cossie block to my mk3 escort as i think the color goes better with the car

 

silver head, black or silver ex manifold, turbo housing silver inlet silver, just as a real cossie lump looks imo

 

ok mate i'll prob paint the blue one like that as i've now stuck the gold 1 in my mk3

 

yeah worth doing, just looks actually real then know what i mean

 

the reason they are painted how they are is because i done them the same as the picture of the sierra cossie block on mm facebook page

 

yeah, but still would look so much better proper colours

 

i did this to my red cab b4 it was converted to a pik up & didnt like it but for some reason yours looks spot on

 

nice 1 pete,i remember when i first seen this model in a shop & i thought wtf is that lol,
now i kno it a beast ,
i fancy another skyline to mod im always on the look out for them too
i seen a real r35 near mine the other day was fucking nice & seen a r34 afew weeks back,it seemed very small car than wot i thought it would be,the r35 sounded mint

 

you need to trim the excess resin off mate & the will make it look loads better for starters,cut some off the air pipe down aswel then you can get the engine to sit in the middle,these little things make it 100% better

 

justin , i think you should have spent a bit of time cleaning up the excess resin and rubbing the parts down a bit more mate.
you will be amazed at how much of a difference this makes .
you can also use the spark plug leads and accs off of the engines you have removed from the models and transplant these to the yb engines.
here is one i finished and sold to steve on here a while back.
all the same parts i supplied you .

 

it should say on the fag packet , modeling is highly addictive dont start

been 5 months without smoking now

 

this engine in my pick up is of steve,still to be finished but if cut excess resin of & stuff
you cant tell the difference from steve's to minichamps 1 once cleaned up

 

well done mate
ive been nearly 4 years.... i think lol

 

Well in mate, its hard work giving up.

Can't wait for my parts to get here.

 

i cant wait for my parts aswel

 

lol......
dremmel boy your rims were in the post today , just got to send you engine.


rapid i have most of your bits ready , just got to get dave to send your era style seats .
still looking good to be with you for the weekend mate.

 

detail on the front spoiler:go d:
love what you have done with the engine too

 

Am waiting for stuff from Dave too. Going to do the whole car in one go.

 

cool ,
look forward to seeing it mate.

 

well im happy with it and i wanted to paint it diff anyway as i havn't seen them done like that before

 

well that is all that matters, was only saying it would look real that way
