1/25 Revell 1970 Boss 302 Engine

[406 Silverado]

A couple of years back, I had the opportunity to build an engine for a community project on another forum. One person built the body up, another had the chassis, another member had the interior and I took the engine portion of the build. This turned out to be quite the build between all of us and it was some pretty good fun building it and then seeing the car come together at the end.

Ignitions wires are from Lex's Scale Modeling, Decals are from Speedway Decals, I went with a M.A.D. distributor on this one which are just awesome and painless (here's the link: madmodeling.com/Category/8cyldist), engine oil and power steering dipsticks and tubes are scratch built, metal conduit hose from air cleaner to exhaust manifold was made by winding small diameter wire around the molded plastic hose, and then the engine wire harness and all vacuum lines were scratch built add ons

Here's how my part turned out:

Very nice work on your part. I like how you got different shades of the bare metal items to represent their different materials.

How did the rest of the build turn out?

Thanks for the comments Carlos! I'm looking for those pictures later on and will post them up.

Yup!! That's the one and thanks for posting those up Pete!! This did indeed turn out very well and was a community effort between 3 of us. I got the engine part, good ol' Pete got the chassis and the body (which he did a fantastic job of) and another member got the interior. Fun joint project together!!
