Holy crap!

The thoughts this brings to mind are endless... but... here's some for starters...

1) Independently wealthy? Must be... or was...

2) Obsession isn't just a perfume anymore...

3) At least build it big enough for a midget to drive... come on!

4) Get Sony to build you a robot driver...

5) Not satisfied with wasting 20,000 hours to build it, he wants to build another? Unreal...

Thanks D, but I been a Fine Art Models fan for some years now, and have had that little snippet on my desktop for a couple of them. Have posted it here, and got a middlin' response-not all were enamored of the genius and dedication displayed by the engineer. It is indeed, a work of art, and if you're a modeler, the true Holy Grail of modeling, though the model B52 with 8 jet engines comes close. Click here to view the video's of it.

Edit-the Ferrari engineer works for these guys.

My pops worked as a model builder for Douglas, then McDonnel Douglas for over 45 years. He used to bring home the neatest models and materials to play with.. I kind of thought you might have seen this before but what the heck... it was worth a try.

Sometimes there is a fine line between 'Genius' & 'Insanity'

I would be overwhelmed by such a project. Heads, valves, piston rings, clearances, heat treating :dribble:
