I used a marking pen to denote the outlines of the legs |

Making the two remaining sides, I traced the outline of the engine onto additional card stock. I also allowed for extra plastic card along the bottom for the legs of the engine |

I then bent the card along the score line to form a smooth side. Note the small ridge along the fold line. |

Notice the plastic covers both the flat portion of the engine and extends overhead just enough for the cylinders. I scored the card prior to super-gluing it on the balsa block |

Adding Spackling compound. Be sure to wear gloves. Note the masked tape |

Adding small strips of balsa to help give "roundness" to the back of the engine and tape off the remainder from Spackling compound |

Cutting block down to size to account for the addition of cylinders |
