Great start with that engine, that looks a winner. Was the mesh already formed to shape or did you have to play around with it?

Hey Shayne - The mesh came pre-formed in a packet with 8x small domes and 2x big domes for cars like the FW07, perfect I must say. Here's the gearbox painted various shades of metallic grey & black. I've added some wiring in here to busy up the area with some braided lines to follow in the days to come. Not sure that green is entirely accurate, but it does the job. The trumpets are a bit wonky and this is a result of being a bit excited when using them =)
