Awesome! Thank you!

Luca, I just happened to see your video here. You are the BEST! You have taught me so much and I appreciate your expertise and knowledge. Thank you for making modelling so much easier for me. from Judy in Nova Scotia, Canada...I am 78 and love this hobby!

I'd like to thank you for the time and the work it took to make a video like this. It is the best detailing I have seen. You are also a very good instructor. I would pay for a class like this. Again thank you

I appreciate you and some other KZreadrs for going back through your catalogs to make updated videos. Once you guys have been here long enough the amount of videos becomes difficult to scroll through and YT doesn't always make the process easy at all. Plus, you also get the opportunity to update with things you improved or changed your approach to which benefits us all, old or new viewers.

You wired 8cyl in 1.5 hrs. It took me 2 hr to wire my turbo beetle so you’re doing better than me lol. Good job

I really appreciate you taking the time to get this very helpful video out to us. Thanks a lot Brother.👍

I really appreciate your time and effort ! I like how you think as far as overcoming obstacles. MY solution to the ‘inline’ carbs is cutting a very thin sheet of plastic that matches the mounting studs to glue the carbs to. Thank you for EVERYTHING

Beautiful, Luka. Fake jewrelry shops have these strings already without the inner cord. I think they use it to build wirst rings or necklaces. Next time, try to build the return coil bracket higher. and glue the return spring at the middle of the throttle rod, not at the tip. It will give you a more horizontal coil with more traction (if it is an actual car) and a more realistic appearence. I m a member of your FC group and I like it too much. Stay good and well.

Thanks brotha for combining these videos together! It made so much easier for me personally to follow for all your tips n tricks. Thanks !!

One great video. Learned a lot. I especially liked the guitar string/return spring trick. Real slick.

That’s a great idea Matt to put all those videos together into 1. Although long together you get to see all in one video. By the way I’ve already seen each one individually. Have a great day my friend.

​@@TheLukaCeeChannel will they ever make that spray metalizer that model master made.???? I loved that stuff.what can I use in its place

Your fb group is awesome. Definitely my favorite. I try not to post much but I figure there are sooooo many active members that nobody will notice me posting a lot. Lol.

Key thing required is patience. I'm missing that ingredient😂

Very nice work putting those videos together. Excellent tutorial on engine detailing. I am sure you made many of your viewers happy with this one. Now I need to add guitar strings to my shopping list. Lol. Thanks for sharing.

Oldie but a goodie

Saw the back bowl off then glue it back on. That will replicate a 4160 Holley carb and fix the spacing issue too.

Spark plug zip tye wire. Some of the bread tye wire is small enough to use for this. That is what I have been using.

WOW . I’m going to hobby lobby right now !!!! I had 2of the red ones many years ago. when I saw this video and your techniques, I was blown away. Thank you so much. Looking forward to building one the way I should have built it, have a lot more expierence now. Thanks again!!…

I remember my Mom setting the points on our car using a book of matches. Opening it up and the cover was the thickness that was needed.

It was great rewatching those old videos. Just think of the new stuff out there like the Dead Center tool and 3D printed parts that can be added now days. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video. I used to make AN hose ends from thin wire and short pieces of rosin core solder. The solder goes on the end of the stripped wire which is then bent to form the hose end with another piece of solder after the bend. The wire is then painted silver to match the solder and make it look like one piece. After drying it can be painted translucent blue or red simulating anodized aluminum.

Very very cool.thank you so much for the time you've put in to the video

I absolutely love the Facebook group🤘

I like to use Helping Hands, they come with alligator clamps but i take a stick of syrene to clamp the part on. Watched Clay do it.

Beautiful Job Sir

I’ve never did an model with wires or hoses so I applaud the skill and patience. One thing I found interesting is you didn’t fill and smooth the joint between the top and bottom of intake since these are casted as one piece in real life. I learned a lot so hopefully I can do half as good as what you did.

Put a couple of band aids around fingers so the drill won't do any damage to your fingers. Duct tape too.

Thanks. I am working on a 409 with detailing parts from VCG Resins and being able to detail it like you showed would be great, though it only has a single Holly 4 barrel.

Neat old photos of race engines. The guy that built the big block Chevy in this video did not want to buy left side inlet cathedral float bowls even though the mechanical fuel pump is on the left side. He used what he could get and keeps the wife happy.

nice video enjoyed 👍👍👍👍

I'm glad to help. Best of luck. My first time was a complete disaster.

Would you ever use the blue gasket sealer, at least blue paint, where you might normally see it?

Parked in my garage is a 4 door 1966 Ford galaxy 500 with a 427. As far as I know no model manufacturer make a 66 4 door kit of my car. I was at my local model shop one day and in the old open kit box I found a 66 kit . Now I'm thinking I can buy a new kit of the 2 door and do some surgery. I opend the box to see if it was al there and to surprise there was 2 complete 2 door 1966 galaxy 500 car kits in the same box and I get to use the same paints I sprayed my car with. CHAAAACHING !

Excellent story. Thank you for sharing, Sir.... I always say; it's the little things in life that bring joy. Atleast that's what I tell my wife of 30 years..😅

Luka Cee, where did you get the vise from? That looks very useful

Id like to see you run plug wires on a ford modified engine.

If you can't build an Engine after watching that, you need to watch it again.

That's awesome. Great job. I need to step up my game 😂. Thanks for the tips. New subscriber here for sure.

Do you happen to have a recommendation on what gauge d string to use?

What size channel would I get to make my own Z'd frame for rat rods?

Is there a continuation video on how you completed terminating the fuel lines you installed?

I hear model master as a brand and product are gone. I completely invested in that brand since I have been useing testors since the late 60s. There metalizers are fantastic metal paints.

Now my question is, are those wires in the proper firing order ???

is there anywhere to get aftermarket engines for scale models

At 6:12 is the separation you're talking about with enamels where the paint tends to flow away from the edges more towards the middle of the part, leaving the paint on those edges thinner and allowing the color underneath to kind of stay visible? Or am I experiencing a different issue?

@TheLukaCeeChannel

It's an issue that is common with enamels

@@TheLukaCeeChannel Is it just enamels themselves then and not a lack of levelling agent in the spray itself? I use Mr Surfacer sometimes and it doesn't seem to do what I experience with Krylon or Rustoleum. But it is just a primer; not a paint/primer combo so that may make a difference.

I bought that at Radio Shack back in the 80s. Look up Micro Mark. They are the best place to order tools for the hobby. Check out the Throttle Power Channel. Tim did a great walk through, of the Micro Mark catalog.

Thanks for your tutorial. I would love to see more modellers take time to walk through and provide narrative vs a quick video accompanied with annoying music. One thing, almost all kits do not address firewall connections. heater and AC hoses wires etc. Also battery cables, brake lines, washer fluid lines, wire harnesses. Anyways your videos are very helpful. Thank you.
