The real cheap way of doing the engine vents, dont have any money but have bottle tops from milk cartons, and have the pull out sports drinks tops, yes I know its not Canon, its my build and it came down to being frugal, I also painted the rear deck in advance, so I could work out how much needs to come off. To be honest it actually is a very good casting, the piping needs replacing as they could not have any undercuts. I have also noticed that the inside mechanism of the sports drink is near enough a match to a vent on the side walls. I do have one problem. I have no etched brass to simulate the top. I am looking everywhere for a mesh that is not woven, square design. So trying to think out of the box on that one. If any of you have any ideas please let me know.
Also apologise for the shoddy photos, I dont like bringing my DSLR into a dirty environment.
Richie.
