I decided on using a sheet of brass for the stator housing, even though it’s probably too thick. I might add some more detail around it to break up the monotony. As for the engine, it’s been painted, but there will be a few more hatches that need to added, and will be painted in a different color. The pieces sticking up at the end of the base are supposed to be pickup brushes, and yes they look awful so will they shall be sacked for something more accurate.
