Thanks Joe asking! :blush:

And thanks Bruce for the nice pic the engine!

Here is a small update, the oilpan is now painted as well as the gearbox.
The red though looks more "brownish"-red than "reddish"-red

Might still shoot one thin layer of more "reddish" red to get the right "reddish" red color! :-D

Next steps will be to build the exhaustpipe complex, after first painting the pieces.

Let's see what next!

Looks great!!!! When I pulled the pic, the owner referred to the color as maroon so your comments are spot on. More brown. Very excited!!!

Wouh!

Looks incredible! I did not even, or rather, I could not even imagine the possibility to put those two pics together! So well done, really professionaly made!

May I ask Bruce, what program can do so seamless connection?
( or did you find a ”full body” pic??)

Adobe Express for Apple iPhones. Here is the US website, Kari.

For editing a single image, I prefer VSCO. Adobe Express “hardens” the image every generation of changes or edits.

Editing Mode / Collages

Thanks Bruce for the tip. I use in my iPhone an app called Snapseed (a Google product), but after this presentation of Adobe Express features, will give it a try!
