My friend who makes models came over tonight and showed me how to get going with the painting. First I painted all the engine parts (which will eventually be metallic) with a slightly diluted "Chaos Black". Then I painted them the real colors called for in the instructions. The paints that I'm borrowing are aimed at fantasy models, so when the instructions called for "Aluminum", I used "Mithril Silver", for black I used Chaos Black, and then for "Steel" I used "Boltgun Metal".
Here's the spruce with the afternoon's painting:
And here a dry fit of one half of the engine. The cylinders are black, the engine block is mithril silver and the oil pan is gunbolt metal.
