Dressing an Engine Compartment
Posted by Dirkpitt289 on Sunday, March 30, 2008 8:48 PM

I getting ready to build a 1:24 scale Mustang 2+2. One of the things I would like to do is dress the engine compartment. Wires, hoses, cables etc... I've never done this and would like to know the best way to do this.

Thanks in advance

Two words.  DETAIL MASTER.  That is the best resource for detailing out engine bays on earth.  I do have a nice little way to create battery wires with clamps, but the tutorial I wrote seems to be long gone.  If I can dig up my wire, I'll rewrite it and post it up on my website.

Your wish = my command.  This time anyway.  LOL.

They also carry a myriad of stuff from other companies.  I have personally used alot of their stuff.  Distributor kits(incredable detail), carb linkage kits(same), flocking(about like all the other flocking), braided line, ignition wire, plug wire, and some other misc stuff.  I've used flocking from a few different people, but most stuff I use for auto's comes from detail master.  I've never had a single complaint.  I've used the detail master polishing clothes, and their chrome, gold, and black foils.
