Yeah, that was a great tip. I think I'll use some small paper clips, and when done spraying stick them into a small piece of Styrofoam to hold them while drying.
Thanks man, feels good to give something back for the community, a lot of my friend from my local club are around that age, and they build amazing models, a lot better then me, so I’m looking forward to see yours man
Charles Brown glad you like this video man, I’m always trying to get my engines better and better, none stop with new things and new supplies, hope to see something cool soon from you bro
Thanks bro, glad you like it, you can do it, you should see my firsts engines, they’re not even close to this one, I can do it, you can do it man, and I’m still in learning process and new tip every week for me
Thanks for sharing your tips on engine details. I have just finished up a Buick Wildcat not long ago that was mu first fully engine detail. It turned out ok, just used what I had already. Very nice work my friend.
Nice work Sir. I have been building 1/25th since 1965. Entered first contest in '67 with a fully rigged/wired/lighted KW conventional "Portable Parking Lot" tractor/trailer. Didn't place because there was no catagory for truck but she was sweet and would have placed had there been a catagory. This was in Sylmar/Los Angeles County, CA when I lived there. My detail was similar to yours, with rew exceptions. Of course my hands now are nothing like they were then and I cannot achieve such detail any longer. Great video, but I wondered if there was another video where you show just how plug wires were installed into distributor and heads since this process appears very vague in this video. Good luck, and I will be watching for more interesting videos from you.
Phil Nuttle thank you so mich my friend, unfortunately I don't have another video, but I've been working on a video that shows that and some other good stuff on detailing an engine, hopefully upload that video in the future videos, glad you enjoyed this video and man, you been having fun for so long, I only have like 5 years working on models, and my first show was 4 years ago, looking forward to finish the video to show more helpful stuff
Thanks John, but unfortunately I don’t know the gage of that wire, I get it on Michael’s for $3.00 and so far I used on all my build and am not even half way, and I used for hinges too, fuel lines, body clips, radiator brackets mounts, etc, very handy
Good video my Brother. Like I said before you have really improved your craft. I enjoy watching your videos brother from Albuquerque New Mexico God bless
That would be awesome! Are we still going to the auction on the 22nd? Did you get my form? If so I can just grab some from you then, and if not do you still have my address? Thx. bro!
Thank you my friend, glad you like it, well thank cam say I have a new set of magnifying glasses and they are amazing, I can nor see well at close and with those that can see everything now, cost me 16.00 on amazing and they even came with a LED light, very cool
Cómo puedes trabajar/concentrarte con todo ese ruido y distraccion de los niños? Deberías poner tu mesa de trabajo en otro lugar, (recámara u otro lugar mas tranquilo). En el comedor o mesa de cocina está mal hay muchos distractores.
😂 bueno hermano eso quisiera yo, pero lamentablemente vivo en un apartamento pequeño el cual no tiene mas lugar donde yo pueda trabajar mi carros, pero en cuanto pueda conseguiré un espacio para yo tener mi hobby room para mi solo, creo q esa es de las razones q mi modelos no quedan mejor todavía LOL
Para mi, me gustaría tener una oficina por mis pasatiempos, o mejor un ‘shed’ separado de la casa, pero también me gustaría tener los carros verdaderos en vez de modelos. No tengo el dinero por los carros y tampoco por un espacio dedicado. Mi reto no son niños, son gatos traviesos quien les gustaban robar las partes más pequeñas.
Thanks for watching man, sorry I didn’t mentioned that, I used a real small drill bit and put the wire around it until I got the shape that I wanted, I’m doing a more detail video of detailing an engine explain how to do it, not just showing how it looks, thanks for stopping by
well man, actually no, I don't have a video on a 409 engine, I only tuck pictures of the one a build but I think they don't look detail as I wanted, but if you like send me an email to tortugakustomz@gmail.com and i'll send you HD pics of it, let me know if anything bro
Well man, on this project I did used a lot of wires, but those are 30 gage crafting wired, they are easy to bend and super handy to shape any way you want, you can get them at Michael's
@@mattcollett2098 No worries my friend, they come like that, well in your case i think you can go to Ebay and get them with more color then you think, low cost
Hello my friend, you can go to Michael’s or Home Depot and get wires 30 gages and you can find them I. Many colors, Olson you can go to amazing or eBay and get a bunch for like 8 dollars and that will last forever and try to see if they are flat color without gloss, they look more realistic, any other question feel free to ask
I appreciate the help....When placing seats on the floorpan...There is just a single reference line, does that line up with the front or the back of the seat itself
@@MrFlabbybeast that all depends of the kit, sometimes is the front and sometimes is the back of the seat, just put it in place and see if stay steady, is not changed the placement
@@marcosfernandeznanita7150 Hola... gracias por responder.. Soy de Argentina.. no cuento con mucha información en español. Quería consultarte cual es tu técnica para envejecer los modelos y darle ese aspecto de viejo y oxidado. En youtube hay varias maneras, pero bueno.. no sé cual es la mas fácil. Aqí no hay un gran mercado de accesorios y pinturas. Tampoco consigo el kit de Tamiya que se utiliza para eso. Bueno.. gracias y muy buenos tus trabajos !!!
Flavio Paparella muchas gracias por contar conmigo pero en realidad nunca eh realizado un envejecimiento aún, tengo planes para hacerlo con un Gasser q quiero hacer, pero ese proyecto no lo haré hasta el año que viene, de todas las técnicas la más fácil supuestamente es la que se hace con sal y es con esa que quiero hacerlo, lamentablemente en nuestros países no tenemos tantos recursos como aquí en Estados Unidos, yo estuve en argentina por 3 semanas hace unos 20 años, pero de todos modos trata en eBay para buscar el Kit de tamiya, yo lo compre ahí y aunque aún no lo eh usado lo tengo todo planeado, y gracias por el apoyo, trata de subir un video con tu projyecto a ver cómo va, de seguro encontrarás personas q hablan español también, ah por sierro, tengo varios seguidores que hablan español también y se ellos si han hecho ese tipo de trabajo y ellos te pueden ayudar por que son ellos los que me están ayudando con ese futuro proyecto, de todos modos mándame un email para que nos pongamos en contacto por las redes sociales en las que estoy involucrado que también conseguirás muchas información allí ( tortugakustomz@gmail.com ) y así nos pondremos en contacto, espero tu respuesta
Thanks for the great idea of the little wire when I’m painting tiny parts, I appreciate it.
Any time my friend, glad to help in any way
Yeah, that was a great tip. I think I'll use some small paper clips, and when done spraying stick them into a small piece of Styrofoam to hold them while drying.

Thanks bro, glad you like it, after this one my detailing improve a lot, practice and more practice make the difference
@@marcosfernandeznanita7150 your welcome practice and doing it often helps a lot question for the AMT models do you use Testers cement compound?
Yes I use testors but in my last build I’m using tamiya thin cement and 5 minutes epoxy, so far work a lot better

Awesome job! Are you drilling out the distributer for the plug wires?
On this one yes, just because the distributor is on the manifold
Awesome details. Very informative video. Thanks

Thanks buddy. I just want to get better at making gas lines and throttle linkages and all that kinda stuff
Spunkey739 you're almost there man, it took me a while to start doing the throttle linkage, and I'm still learning more everyday

Thanks Richard for your awesome support man, glad you liked bro

I take it you airbrushed the craft paints you used on the engine and transmission?
Thanks for stopping by, yes I did airbrushed the block but the transmission was hand painted, I like how this project turned out
Nice detail bro! Can you still get those brush holders at work?
Thanks Mike, yes man, if you want I can send some on Monday
That would be awesome! Are we still going to the auction on the 22nd? Did you get my form? If so I can just grab some from you then, and if not do you still have my address? Thx. bro!

Thank you my friend, glad you like it, well thank cam say I have a new set of magnifying glasses and they are amazing, I can nor see well at close and with those that can see everything now, cost me 16.00 on amazing and they even came with a LED light, very cool
Wow it's looking at me so far Marcos!!! :)
N.Y.S MODELING awesome Dylan...
Nice work
Thanks David
How come all standard transmissions have the starter on drives side and all auto transmissions have starter on passanger side
That’s a good question man, I never thought of that
Sweet!
Thanks man
Good video.
Thanks David
Nice work. I subscribed
Thank you my friend
Did you say you mixed the colors before you painted the engine/trans?
Mark Forster yeas, I mix the silver and the blue, cake out really close as the original color
Handsome fella, engine's not bad either ;D
LOL thanks Steve, thanks for stopping by bro
I figured out what 0.075 is Numbered drill bit. #drill bits are mm sizes. So a 0.075 is between #49 and #48 size.
It’s aro nd there Sammy

Damn more detail than that. That's crazy how did u make that coil spring?

Wat size drill bit do u use for the engine detail? I want to try it out I got 28 gauge wire for the cap and plugs wat else do I need?
You need 0.75 drill bit and 30 and 32 gages wires for other details like alternator and starter
Do u have a video on detailing a 64 impala engine? And thanks very much, much appreciated
well man, actually no, I don't have a video on a 409 engine, I only tuck pictures of the one a build but I think they don't look detail as I wanted, but if you like send me an email to tortugakustomz@gmail.com and i'll send you HD pics of it, let me know if anything bro
Looks great but there should not be 2 fuel lines coming from the fuel pump
Thank you, and yes, shouldn’t be like that, but back then I was more a rookie making details 😂, now this days I pay a little bit more attention
Marcos, just wondering what you are using to wire up starter motors etc?
Well man, on this project I did used a lot of wires, but those are 30 gage crafting wired, they are easy to bend and super handy to shape any way you want, you can get them at Michael's
@@marcosfernandeznanita7150 Did they come pre-coloured, or did you have to paint them yourself? Unfortunately in Australia, so no Michael's for me.
@@mattcollett2098 No worries my friend, they come like that, well in your case i think you can go to Ebay and get them with more color then you think, low cost
Fantastic building man, can I ask what glue you recommend for the wiring
Thanks for the support man, back then i used super glue, but now i'm using 5 minutes epoxy which better
Did you drill the holes in the distributor
Yes Sammy, with a 0.075 drill bit from Habor
Marcos Fernandez Nanita I have drill bits that are number like this #48, #49 etc. . What number would 0.075 be?
Having trouble finding info on what wire to get for the plug wires? Any help would be appreciated
