Amazing scratch building, really like the oil lines.

I'm speechless. It will be a shame to hide this in the engine compartment ! You must build a dio with your engine removed in a way or another.
PS: I'm sure if you make a master it could be a seller.

This is amazing craftsmanship. Did you have drawings to work from? Most available are obliques used for mechanics and take some real skill to turn into models as you have done. Look forward to seeing the final product and perhaps some casted copies.
