Gettin close!
I did paint the engine first...as it is. Then added the rods (trial-n-error, to size the first one, then used that as a guide for the rest)..painted those. I did drill for the wires. Each pair of wires is a single wire, folded, leaving a tiny CA holding loop....dip it and stick it! I did half of the top cylinders, let glue dry, trimmed and bent to shape...then did the other half (they get tricky to handle when you have wires sticking out all the way around). Repeat for the bottom row of cylinders. I completely ignored those tiny dents.BorgR3mc0 wrote:How do you do those engines? I have a Quickboost set for the Dakota. But the wiring and rods are putting me off. So do you paint first? Then add rods and wire and the detail painting? And you you drill the holes in the engine for the wire or are those dents enough?
