Thanks
After some time little progress...I have finished engines.
My improvements: I have made completely new engines, I used paper and wire. I sprayed them matte black color, finally I used the grey dry pastel on getting patina ...

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

WOW
Those look FANTASTIC!!!

Great work there . Lucky man this has only 2 engines. On average star wars vehicle, you need to do same things fourtimes and more :fight:.

 

[mikezax]

Thanks
It's actually one engine divided into two halves

 

[zathros]

Those engines halves look like you molded them. Setting the bar really high here Mike!! :Bravo::hide:

Mike, this is almost big enough to ride!!

 

[Rhaven Blaack]

I really like the detail that you are putting into this project!

 

[Revell-Fan]

Mike, this is almost big enough to ride!!

You would need a small butt to do so though..!

 

[mikezax]

Thanx,
After some time I will add some photos. I decided that the whole model I will dye. On the hull I used putty and grinded it (several times), then I sprayed the basic color. I'll spray on it the upper color, and then comes the patina.
My improvements:A fully sprayed hull and a reworked bottom of the bike.

 

[zathros]

Man, that looks like it came out of a factory!!
