Thanks Joe asking!
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!
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!
