Using a photo of the original Wright engine for guidance. we can easily see: that the engine really isn't painted black. This give us a chance to see that the cylinders have some great details such as springs and details inside as well as showing off a lot more details of the engine itself such as rivets, the plate, the fuel lines and more. **Note, at this point, I spray painted the overall engine block silver before proceeding further. This was done to prevent any overspray from touching any of the additional details that were being added to the block. Visiting a local arts and crafts store, I purchased some very small springs. I was to find out that they're sometimes used for earrings and necklaces. Okaaay........ The cylinders were then painted silver first before commencing onto the next stage of the build. This was done to help avoid any overspray of paint to go inside the cooling holes and spoil the detailing. I then used a pair of pliers and stretched the springs out just a little bit. This accomplished two things: First, it made the diameters a bit smaller to allow the springs to fit inside the plastic cylinders and two, to have them peek outside along the ends. The small hooks at the ends of the springs were then cut off using a pair of wire cutters or dice. I then glued a small piece of copper wire through the springs and then the whole sub-assembly glued inside each cylinder. Now, let's compare what we've accomplished so far with a photo of the real engine. Hmmmm, not bad, eh? We've only got just a little bit more to go, but basically the main engine block is complete. Overall, it took me about two weeks to get to this stage. Much of the time was devoted to experimenting what would work and what didn't look right. Best part? No sanding or filling or priming was done or even necessary. The plastic did most of the "work" for me. I'll continue in just a bit later. Any comments or feedback will be welcomed. Thank you
