After shading that small part I decided the whole engine could use some shading!
For replicating the 'metal' effect on the parts I used my trusty tootbrush again for some drybrushing
And soms dust
F#ck it, let's put it everywhere haha!

Let's REALLY rust things up! Not just the color!
Still using the same toothbrush.

Pigments are another nice way to weather, really easy. Put them on with white spirit, let it dry, brush a little, done!
I think this is the ultimate 'dusty' look, best method I found so far.

Hmmmm... Rather empty!
Missing this! So I photgraphed the book, and rescaled the labels in Photoshop. On the right the printed version, lol.
On double-sided tape
Sides blackened
Better!

Remember my request for more (color) pictures of Maybach engines? And that I could hardly find any? Well... Forumuser AlastairCooke pointed out to me the answers were right under my nose all that time! I already own this incredible book!
Actually there are MANY pages like this!
So this will be great help if I ever have to paint a third engine... (and I will, for an Armortek 1:6 Jagdtiger!)

Now... David Parkers excellent Köti build in 1:16 showed these stickers on the air filters:
NO idea what the text says (something about German regulations I guess) and no better (real) pictures to be found, let alone decals in 1:6...
I would still like to know what's on the stickers but in the meantime I designed my own.
4 prints for 2 engines
Also on 1:6 you are not able to read what it says! So you are the only guys who know now haha!
Attached using double-sided tape
Some varnish to seal it
End-result. Papers turn white on the edges.
