Absolutley stunning. I really like the way you captured the solidness of
this engine. I think it's because of the great use of rounded edges on both
the top, front and back. This engine really brings the 7740 alive. I may
have to attempt a similiar model to put a little kick in my 7740. I never

in between the vents on the side. It makes the side view very pleasing to
the eye.
You continue to amaze me.
