Thanks for all your support 😊 - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I’ve always wondered how those tiny engines are made and I’m so lucky I came across your video an hour after upload! Stay safe!
Many thanks for watching and commenting glad it can be of use😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Wowww....I must try this. Thank you for share 🙏😊
Many thanks Sir..... You're amazing so I'm sure this is walk in the park for you😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Good to see you in this random video I clicked 😀
I just received some goodies from eBay to super detail engines. I searched for this type vid 2 years ago and no one did it. For turbos, heat tube and press down. Then thin wall and wrap with solder. Or those ferrules. I can’t find right size tho. I have you to thank for MEK. For pulleys I chock up in dremel and use like lathe. Comes out perfect. You should give a try. Think you’d like it. Ethernet cable stripped for bendable wires, brake lines and other plumbing.
Many thanks for all the tips, very useful thanks. All the best😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
SidewaysKing75 not that you need. You’ve always had best instructional vids of the group. If u don’t mind, what mm size ferrules are u using? 1-2mm? I gotta find a set
Thanks for keeping the videos flowing during difficult times...
Nice video my bro.. awesome 👍👍
Many thanks 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
I watched this whole video and it made me order tools and styrene to begin customizing again, I felt like I should’ve paid for all this info, Thankyou a heap!
Glad it could be of such use..... that was the intention so i'm really glad. All the very best 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
I just thought. I’m ten mins into this, whilst in the bath chilling with a double whiskey. So the misses and I just realised, what you are showing here translates to life and to children’s education... but you make it real, fun and geeky. You should look to approaching a school to walk troublesome children through your process. The morale of the story is the importance of learning and focusing on bite size chunks in order to achieve the complete finished article. Alternatively just take pleasure In knowing there are loads of people watching this video and will now know how to build a miniature engine... but never will build one... but we know how to 🤪
Many thanks as always I appreciate the watch and comment. I dig that your chilling with the double whickey there my friend. During this lockdown I've raided everything in the alchol cupboard and reduced it to nothing and I have never been a big drinker! Bottles we'd acquired for years... parties, christmas etc., i've drank the lot...... I now finally feel proper grown up LOL! It makes my day when i get great feedback like this so thank you for making this 'ol boy happy today. All the best and stay safe 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Some OUTSTANDINGLY detailed engines here!!
Those little pallets are fantastic!
It really sells the realism.
Top notch work!
Many thanks.... Coffee cup stirrers, quick and straight forward to do😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Some INCREDIBLY detailed engines here!!.. They look like you could just drop them into the car,hook everything up, and they would start right up!!... Keep up the great work Bud!!
I'm going to call you "Triple M." Miniature Master Mechanic. You do amazing work.
Many thanks, I'll take that as I've been called a lot worse over the years! 🚗🚕🚓🏎😁👍
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. It'll be a great reference point in the future. Greatly appreciated!!
Many thanks for watching Jason I'm glad it can be of use😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
This channel is a hidden gem 🤩
Many thanks I appreciate it 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Excellent. Great work. I need a replacement right ring mirror for my golf, might get you to make one 😀
Thank you so very much for this tutorial!! I have been looking for something just like this for some time now. I love all the "fiddly bit" details that adds some realism to this scale. Most channels will just gloss over the engine without explaining, this level of detail is amazing. It is exactly what I've been needing.
Thanks for sharing you skills and making all the vids! Stay safe and keep on keeping on!!
Many thanks Earl I'm glad it can be of use. All the best and keep safe too😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
This video is just what i need. For my model railway I'm building a scrapyard of cars. I have a hundred or so 1/75 plastic cars which form the basis of the scrapyard but what is missing are the scrap engines and engine parts so often found in these yards. My cars are smaller than your but I'm sure the principles of building scrap engines will be the same as building them for your cars.. Thanks a lot.
25 mins of learning something I will never do. God I love these videos
PMSL I'm howling at that one.....😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Thank you thank you thank you it really helps me I have been looking for a video that explain how to make engines
My pleasure Omer glad it can be of use 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
awesome. nice and easy, really. :) but watchign you fiddlign with small plastic parts makes me reach out for the screen with "itchy" fingers, because I'm fiddly, too.
wait, that came out wrong.
anyway. here are some things that can be helpful as well:
a bicycle's dynamo gave me a thin, soft brass wire. I use it for brake linings in 1:24 scale, but surely it works for other things, too.
the wires they use to fix large model cars on their bases in the box are useful, too.
I found a very, very thin copper wire inside a dead N-scale gauge actuator. I'm sure some model train fan has one or another of those little spools laying around.
now defunct german N-scale railway maker, arnold-N, used to distribute a faked overhead lining in the shape of a thin rubber thread. ideal to simulate bowden wires that go in round loops across the engine compartment.
and last, I found out that some filters for RL automatic gears use a thin wire mesh instead of paper, usually stainless steel or brass. you might find one at the local auto shop. you'd have to cut the filter housing open, though, so be careful and use working gloves.
keep up your great works, and stay safe!
Many thanks Lothar excellent tips there I will be sure to give a go. Thank you for sharing😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
@@SidewaysKing75 my pleasure. :D
A good tip I learned years ago for simulating spark plug boots is to find a wire diameter that the insulation just fits over your plug wires, then ya take a tiny section of that larger insulation and cut it at a 45 degree angle. Rotate the 2 cut pieces to make a 90 degree elbow for engines with that type of plug boots and for all others ya just slide I tiny bit over the ends without cutting em and voila! Ya got yourself plug wires WITH plug boots on the ends. Now, I use this in 1/24th scale. For this scale you could simply paint the ends black and maybe have better results.
Solder has quite a few good uses for other scale items. I've made D rings/shackles by bending a small piece into that U shape and then smashing the ends together and drilling a hole through for the pin and then making the pins out of solder by smashing one end flat and drilling a small hole through the smashed bit.
If you really wanna get some great tips that you can apply here you really need to check out some of the 1/24th scale model forums. Those guys in there are on a whole new level of insanity.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge once again, Chris! It gives me some inspiration for future projects!! Cheers!
Many thanks glad it can be iof use😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
very awesome all the handmade components are very detailed and handmade, greeting the same hobby from Indonesia
Many thanks indeed, I'm a big fan of your work and follow you on Instagram..... All teh very best my friend 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Fantastic demo my friend and perfect timing! I build 1/72 scale aircraft and I scratchbuild cockpit interiors on many older kits. Recently, I've really been enjoying messing with 1/64 cars, but never done anything like this. I have all the material at hand, so it's time to give it a go. May I just say that the plug wires are a bit....ahh...
on the chunky side. Just sayin'....not fat shaming. Beautiful work!
Many thanks I appreciate that. Its difficult when I watch these back too at the size or detail sometimes. It's only just recently I've watched them on my TV and at 55" all of a sudden everything is 20 times bigger and shows up all sorts, making me wonder how I missed certain things or parts that look out of shape etc. Its not until you have it back in your hand and realise that to the naked eye it all looks OK again. Seeing anything that large throws it all out straight away so I here perfectly what you're saying. In my hand it looks okey cokey 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Great idea on the solder. Comes in various diameters and molds like clay.
Another Styrene Diaries!!!!!🥰😍🥳Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! It's SUPERB!!!!
Many thanks as always Milos for watching😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Wonderful!!!..... Amazing WHEN the proper tools & materials are AVAILABLE...!!!! GREETINGS from Monterrey México!
Thank you ..... greeting from the UK my friend 🚙🚗👍🏻
Love your videos! Your so calm when dealing with tiny details!!
I'll definitely fallow you. Thank you.
You've got mad skills! Great patience and attention to detail. So many excellent tips for my own new model makeover channel. Happy subscriber. Keep them coming, please.
Thank you for making this amazing tutorial!
Another great vid and brilliant way of doing things sir !!! Thank you for doing thees vids for us you are a very talented person and one of the best on here LOL!! Take care over there my friend!!
As always William the comment is very much appreciated. It's nice of you to say but I certainly don't feel talented but nice to hear all the same. Hope you are safe and well my friend😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
That is too bloody awesome, those engines are absolutely magnificent. Very well done and thank you for sharing that with me.
Many thanks for watching David. Glad you liked them 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
All I need to say is awesome mate
Many thanks Darren thats appreciated😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
😎 battery and radiator you have added to this build too!
Amazing detail. Very cool.
Thank you very much 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
This is very helpful! I used paperclips for the exhausts, but that's a bit tricky to bend precisely. Going to use soldering tin from now on!
Thanks for the excelent video!
As always thanks for watching.... glad it can come in useful 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
This is so inspiring. Thanks for sharing your secrets!
Thank you 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Very exquisite details!!
Awesome, to see you do this.I love the things you do with 1.64 scale. I am going to do some of my own now. Thanks for the inspiration. I normally do 1.24 kits with heavy mods. I also have lots of little 1.64 cars I'm bored with. Good things to come.
Thanks Rick.... I'm a big 1/24th fan too. Glad you liked it 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Wow! I would have just 3d modelled all this stuff...but THIS is real skill! AMAZING!
Many thanks Manny 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Cool as always, thanks again for your help. Looking forward to seeing the new to one.
Many thanks for watching😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Hail the King of Sideways ✊😎
we have You to THANK again, for us mere mortals learn the secret of engine building 😮
I Great King shall from now, build a miniature 1/32 replica of my VW Golf4 TDI and using this knowledge shall now furnish it with the poor tractor-like diesel engine that it has for realism beyond reality 😂
(I did attempt to recreate my car.. failed on the paint finish🤕 ...came out looking like a dead persons skin 😅 but I will retry)
Hope You doing Well Mr.Chris 😆👍 you know I Love your videos as always man, truly as always a Masterpiece created before our very screens.
CZcams should sponsor You. A Modelers work is never easy and Your skill takes it Millennia ahead of its time.
Well done Good Sir , Well done 😇👍
Thank you for the wonderful comment Sajjaad its very much appreciated. 'Dead persons skin'!!!! that dio make me laugh hard hahaha..... I'm sure it was fine and besides, when things don't go right for me I still use the model, but change it into a rust/rat looker..... it happens. All the very best my friend 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
I loved every minute and learned a ton! The staples for intercooler/radiator blew my mind tho thank you!!
This was extremely helpful..thank you..2 thumbs up👍👍
A beautiful tutorial Chris, but above all fun to watch.
Thank you very Rob 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Amazing detail to an awesome how-to video! Always enjoy watching your videos!!
Thank you very much David 🙏🏻
@@SidewaysKing75 thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent with all of us.
Such an enjoyable video! Your engines look very cool and have given me much inspiration, thanks!
Thank you very much I appreciate that. All the best
learnt such a lot watching your videos thank you from a 75 year old
Thank you so much for watching its very much appreciated
I recently having an interest in watching CZcams video, 3 month ago I got in hotwheels, im a car guy. This video is easy and found out there's steps CZcams shows,this video is an all in 1.video in how to make engines, the commentary is awesome, goes slow and makes the video fun and interesting to watch, many thanks for the video, Cape Towns market is slowly growing..
Thank you so much for showing your trade secrets! This video is gonna help me so much! I'm currently working on a d series engine for a crx. Your videos are always so eye opening and I thank you very much for the great content you put out. Your the best in the game for attention to detail/realism 👍 🤘
Thank you very much Steve for a wonderful comment. Thats certainly brightened my evening. All the best😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
YESSSSSSS!!!!THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR, NEXT HOW TO BUILD ENTIRE TRAILER
Brilliant. Thankyou for sharing your methodology. Very instructional. Thankyou. 😁👍
Pleasure. Thanks for watching David 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Thanks chris.another awesome vid..looks easy.🤥
Many thanks as always Les. I'm still waiting to see some creations of yours on Instagram my friend 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Great job SK75 i was hoping that we get to see how you do small scale engines for your projects and to be honest i am surprised that it so easy to make one anyway i can't say enough about this channel is that you show us next build coming in the future is a nissan DR30 as touge racer well my friend i am looking forward for that video so that it for now see you later.
Many thanks as always Lilliana. Watching and commenting is always appreciated😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Awesome, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Brilliant !! Helpful !! Thank you !!
I saw a video of a Japanese, he used a 3D printing for machines and wheels, but your video is away inspire...
Nice sir, hopefully you are always in good health, so you can make more inspirational videos
Thank you for watching.... I dknhave mor plans along this theme for the future 🚗🚙👍🏻
What do you think about a race team based around famous game/ movie cars. Also great job on the exhausts especially, the solder is perfect scale almost.
Great idea.... I was going to do the Dirt 3 livery cars in teh 'SCOTT', 'ALPINESTARS' etc..... there was some great liveries on older machinery that look pretty sweet 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
SidewaysKing75 dirt 3 was the first game I completed, it is great, maybe do the yellow alpine (forgot if it’s was alpine stars or kickers). It’s great.
Thanks, we really needed something like this
Thank you for watching 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Great video tutorial! Thanks for making it will definitely be trying this on my next custom
Thanks as always 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Verry good explained.. 2 thumbs up

This is just incredible.
Thank you very much 🙏🏻🚗🚗👍🏻
ur collection is really cool
Thank you 👍
Amazing video thanks so much!!
fantastic amazingly awesome i just love how simple you make this look dude
Thank you for watching Robert 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Thanks for putting this up. I noticed in the background of a shot, a blue SWB Landrover, in 1/32 scale, made by Britains. It's a nice model, and I've had a couple (Safari, and Army) - it has coil sprung suspension, too - any plans for this? A 'Fast Show' 'Beast' ("It's gripped! Let's off-road!", etc.), perhaps?
Those engines? Genius. Nice one.
Many thanks as alway Brian and nice spotting. I think I may just do it. It has fantastic suspension as you said and is broken which will make for a great resto. I had great memories playing with this and other Britains pieces on holiday in Anglessey as a kid and as luck made me find it once again I noticed the paint job on it..... It was my very first apptempt at repainting something, probably around 1985 or so. Would be good to show it off, fix it, restore it and upgrade it.😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
Holy cow this is so good, especially with those turbos. I doubt I can make those injectors because I have really shaky hands hahaha! Great work man!
Many thanks 🚙🚗👍🏻
Very nice work, i made a 1:24 v8 engine for my gt40 build. Thanks for the tips and tricks 👍
Can u make a video on your projects I would be quite interested?
Wow I can wait to do it thanks for showing this video.
Many thanks 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎

Thank you 🚙🚗👍🏻
Thank you 🚙🚗👍🏻
As a person wanting to get into customizing hot wheels these video are super helpful!!
Glad they can be of use... thanks for watching.
😎 exhaust system you are building for this build too!
Even under lock down I still can't find time to sort one of these for any of my cars. Must try harder. Thanks for the tips and inspiration. 😀
Thanks for watching Tony 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎

Une précision énorme pour des détails si miniatures
This video is simply inspiring! I would love to see you build a V8 Engine with one of those blowers on top of it
You should really do a work desk tour I think that would be really cool
I'll look into that 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
👍👍👍 perfect
you just changed my whole life
Apologies.... hope its not a bad change 1🚙🚗👍🏻
@@SidewaysKing75 lol. you're hilarious. No, you've introduced me to a hobby I never knew I needed. Got a shirt to say thanks. starting my own mod channel. So yeah, thank you
@@timothyrenuart1067 awesome stuff.... looking forward to it 🚙🚗👍🏻
@@SidewaysKing75 It's gonna take a while to get my supplies in. Ill link it to you when I start dropping videos.
p.s. This may be a bit annoying, but could you add US recommended supply links in your videos? It's not important, just trying to get this hobby to get bigger in the states
I don't know why I just got this channel on my list but I love it!! I collect diecast cars this channel should have been subscribed to last year!
I also loved the general Lee future car 😂 I laughed my ass off when I saw it!! Great job on what I saw of it! Great tutorial videos too !!
I subscribed today too!
Thank you very much Sam I appreciate it. I try to get new videos uploaded whenever I can but is often tricky at times 🏎🚗😁👍🏻
"Back To Hazzard" he calls that one, also did one based on "Smokey & The Bandit".
Amazing
Hi. I'm from Brazil.
Great job
Nice!
😊
Many thanks
engine very perfact bro😎
You've inspired to actually take some action towards wanting to get into modelling.
Bought some starter tools to get me started, tweezers, Emery boards etc, and got started on a little Airfix kit.
It's supposed to be a 'simple' kits for kids but my god I was getting unbelievably frustrated at the fiddly bits on that...I now feel your pain.
Many thanks thats great to hear you've taken your first step. I'm honored I've helped. Trust me it's a great way to relax and chill. When the fiddly bits get annoying, down tools and walk away for a break I always say. It's a great little hobby and like any hobby they shouldn't annoy you, so just as you feel this, just have a time out. It's worth it when you look back at your creations. And if you muck it up..... great, I use them for other things like a junk/rusty project, you'll hone your skills in no time. All the very best my friend 😁👍🚗🚓🚕🚙🏎
