I just thought when I looked at them they seemed crude but if you like them then I will order some. There aren't that many makes to choose from, maybe the pictures don't do them justice.

Well think I have virtually finished the engine bay, just the coil and thats it. I have tried to make the guttering for this bay which will fit under the front wings etc, just a little more fetling.

Hi I would like to see your work but unfortunatly it is taking to long to open the photos have you thought of reducing them in picture manager, then they will display straight on to the forum   MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi, so where did you download the labels from? I feel some plagiarism coming on By the way, if you want the photos to show up directly in the thread, not as attachments - you need to upload them to somewhere like photo bucket & then link to them. I put together a brief description somewhere. I'll find it & link to it when I do. Looking good by the way updateIt is about halfway down the first page of this thread: Photo uploadingWell spin my nipple-nuts & send me to AlaskaCurrent Builds:McLaren MP4-23Finished007's Aston Martin DB5FinishedMillennium FalconR2-D2BTTF Delorean (Maybe)

Nice photos and the engine bay looks more realistic than a really realistic thing !!!  Love all the copper brake pipes, ducting and labels - Top stuff !! I am following your builds with interest so keep sticking up the photos mate ?? Kev.

This is a cry of desperation having waited for part 23 steering wheel it arrived today and guess what. It has been crushed and the shaft is bent, in other words beyond help. My cry is there anyone out there who has one I can beg borrow or steel so I can get on. I have of course ordered a replacement but as with all these part works it will take ages. Any help would be most appreciated,

Some more progress, its a bit like building a Pocher model, lots of additions. I had to do some serious repairs to the steering wheel that had been flattened in the post, but it turns out to be a lot tougher than it looks.

This is my version of a well used DB5 engine. It looked to blingy so I decided to weather it so I used MIG powder and some black washes etc, see what you think.
