Unbelievable...I can't believe he put all that work into such a small car! This reminds me a bit of the Ferrari 312 PB at 1:8 scale (I think it was 1:8 at any rate) that that French guy made and who JC interviewed. The only major difference was that if someone was actually small enough to drive it, the car would actually drive as the engine worked.

Incredible talent and skills that man has. Gerald Wingrove is a legend in the model car world.
Thanks for the link! It was great to see exactly how complicated it is to build such a detailed model from scratch.

This is absolutely insane how detailed he gets. Seriously there is not one thing I can think of, that he could do to get them any more realistic. Be basically built a new car, only in minature. :shock:

This is your age speaking..  the fact that you are a product of the "instant gratification" generation... 
The true nature of craftsmanship is in the fcat that WITHOUT a computer programmed milling machine he was able to produce this masterpiece...
