I think you could you make it work currently by using purple on the intermediate and leaving all others alone.
And break up the alternator is a good idea... It needs more silver IMHO. <- That H stands for Humble. I somehow thought I needed to state that in this thread.
Not a big fan of MLP, but I do like the colors. Keep it up!

That'll work Jeff, nice.
And you're right, it was the "My Little Pony" figurines, launched in 1982 when my daughter was 4, back when a couple of bucks could make a kid happy.
("My Pretty Pony" was a book by Steven King).
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_Pony for details.

DerrickS, yes I thought of that, to paint the intermediate purple and do kind of a reverse from there rearward, but ran out of parts to paint. Plus there's still a lot of green and blue visible on top.
Nah, I think the idea from last night is good. And yes it does need more silver here and there.
Wow, you're too much Ray. You're really getting into this! I hope you guys like Rainbow Dash 2.0. Especially Isabelle. Gotta get to work on it.

Check out the updated alternator. I think it has just the right amount of red now. The rest kinda looks like srce's shiny pants. Don't worry if you don't get the reference (it has nothing to do with ponies, which is probably a good thing).

As far as I got on the engine so far. All the aluminum parts are now redone. Gotta get to the irons next.

Looks good though. This engine is currently Lyra approved.

But this is supposed to be based on Rainbow Dash. Silly Lyra.

Wow Ray, you're eating this up, like grass in a mower! Or should I say, like a pony!
And I've got an update. Front plate is painted and just needs minor details now. The rear plate was cleaned and in the process of drying now; will get masked off and painted tomorrow. No pics until they're both done. Don't wanna spoil it. For now, enjoy this.
I see your G3 Rainbow Dash, and raise you a G4 Rainbow Dash.

Who can spot Derpy in the above crowd scene static image? It's a little like Where's Waldo, for bronies.

LOL. Figures, I quit checking the forum for one week, and Jeff starts a "My Little Pony" build.
I love it. Like I always say, only in the 1st gen section would you see something like this.

The eyes are really more of a dark red. But yes I'll have to get some vectors of the cutie mark and take them to a printing shop that can do vinyl.
Not only in the 1st gen section but now in the lounge as well.

^ I love Derpy! Or is it Ditsy Doo? Read here for more info: http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Derpy_Hooves
Is her cutie mark supposed to be bubbles like everyone says, or is it actually morning dew drops? Every pegasus in the show has some sort of weather related cutie mark, so I'm inclined to believe it's the latter. Dew/Doo? Well, we'll find out in season 2; they've given her a speaking role!
How about Cloud Kicker?

I like this one because of this scene.

One of those easter egg type things that's only on screen for a short time.

Ok Ray, or should I say Raynbow!
As much as I'd like to keep seeing more pony postings from you, I can update this thread with a pic of the completed irons.
These look a lot better to me now. Just gotta so the inspection covers in purple and I'll be done!

Oh what's this? Looks like Rainbow Dash just flew into the shot because she is getting antsy for me to finish her engine. Hold your horses! This belongs to my sister. I haven't bought any of the toys

yet.
