That is pretty sick. But the one sad thing is... it proves that even when you achieve your dream... your never satisfied. He's moving on to the next one.

The term "Modeler" does not define this degree of talent justice. I'm not sure if there is an equitable term to describe his gifting of ability, dedication and tenacity! |

Now not to detract form the truly AWESOME model this guy produced... Can we really believe this 12 cylinder engine actually runs - is this guy / story really the up & up?  Think of say just the fasteners involved- bolts nuts springs, gaskets ect that - do not exist in the scale and temper that would actually work in the stresses it will encounter. We are believing every part involved in making a 4 stroke combustion engine was made by this guy. (for starters) I don't know - I'm a skeptic at heart and the longer I live with this story in my head - the less I believe the validity of it. Yes, I saw the rpm gauge moving (in volume to the engine sound) but consider the micro electronics involved in the components making that assembly alone.... NFWay !  IMO & FWIWorth Still I freakin' loved watching that gas peddle revving the engine up and the rpm gauge responding! |
