This is the very limit of my artistic ability but I thought it would be a fitting tribute and kind of fun. A salute to the fallen:

Thanks, it was fun. I wish I hadn't thrown away the other 5 pistons and had a larger selection of scrap. Next project I think will be a monster or dinosaur for my son.

Haha I forgot I started a thread on this! He's been saluting people entering my office for the last year, and I've had several requests to make more so I guess I will be looking for some more scrap engine parts!

Micks72 · 09-10-2011, 01:14 AM
