Default Engine Compartment 95% Complete - Biomechanical Theme

Not the best pictures - taken in a semi-dark garage with a flash. The flash made the candy blue look lighter than it really is. Lots of pieces from Ed at Pipedreams and some custom airbrushing from a shop in NC. Thanks to Forum member Rick for the assistance with this project!

Freaky . Looks like something out of Quake 4 or the Transformers. I like it though.
