That reminds me of someone who made a 100% accurate scale model of a classic Ferrari (as in your 6 inch pianist could actually drive it!) Iirc he took something like 40 years making it, I thought it was amazing but had this hollow sense that he'd spent most of his life doing something that... Well it was little more than a cracking ornament really...

I thought I had some geeky hobbies - but I think I've just gone up in my own estimation after looking at that!

Great craftmanship mind

'KIN 'ELL That is craftmanship - even got a redtop!!

But, ninehigh - why did you have to raise the subject of your 6 inch pianist ?


Edited to add: I think this is taking Colin Chapman's statement a little too far 'to add speed, just add lightness'.....

pretty good - presumalby it is a Caeringvan model going by the handbrake, if so, isn't the screen angle is wrong?

the green one look pretty good, pinto power by the look of it.

2 years 7 months could have built a real one in that time -LOL

without doubt a stunning show piece

The only thing that I could find that doesn,t look to scale is the "R" clip on the fire extinguisher.....picky aren,t I

cheers

The trouble with something so good and so accurate is that people (me included) can see a few (lots) of errors in it.

However, I'd rather not comment in the negative and just choose to enjoy the good/accurate parts and the enrgy and dedication it took to build!

(I don't mean to slag off the obove post BTW, just my own take on it)

A larger-scale model : Model A "tot rod"

Lucky kid!

... and then thought about how much work it would be, just to get knocked over by a visitor some day...
