The big block race engine I originally picked for this build turned out to be way off-scale for 1/25, creating all sorts of frustrating fitment issues and just looking out of proportion. So, I went back to the drawing board!I tracked down a 3D file for a Chevy LSX twin-turbo engine, printed it out, and started the process over. I painted the entire block using Kaleido metal colors and used my Gaahleri markers to pull out all the fine details. To make the exhaust headers look realistic, I layered Kaleido transparent colors to simulate authentic heat hotspots. For the valve covers, I laid down a base of Kaleido aluminum and finished it off with a transparent purple topcoat.This new setup looks incredibly scale-accurate, and I know it’s going to look ten times better in the engine bay.
