Jeff (Slipdigit) posted this link on WW2F, I thought it just too impressive not to steal straight away in case any model-makerish chaps here hadn't seen it :p. Model Makers—Young C. Park_metal Aeroplanes Really quite remarkable . And the parent site's well worth a shufti too: The Internet Craftsmanship Museum Cheers, Adam.
I have never ever seen such attention to detail, even my old man who used to scratch build loco's would have been impressed and he was hard to please and a perfectionist

I was hoping you'd pop up mate, so I can rep you here . I'd really like to see this chap's stuff in the flesh, think I may be overdue a trip to a model engineering exhibition. There was a chap at Beltring with a beautiful large scale model of a Tiger he was machining from brass and Aluminium. Not sure this is the same man, but it's top-notch advanced modelling nonetheless: Scratch Built PzKpfw VI Tiger I
Glad you pointed out the weapons. I had not looked at them. I like that Thompson. I'm trying to decide if they actually fire and if they are considered firearms (and subject to laws) if they do.
Sebfrench posted this on WW2F. Definitely in the top league of modelling too. .Scherman M4 A2 Travail d'Orfèvre Mécanique. Google Translate: . Scherman M4 A2 Mechanical work of craftsmanship.
Super modelling/miniture engineering on that Sherman. (maybe Drew should learn French & join that 1940 forum too )
Awesome, indeed! And don't think of it as stealing, more liberating with a benevolent intent. Honest, officer! cheers. phil
Have some Rep, Seb. It really is a cracker, doubtless it'll spread to other modelling sites and hopefully we'll see some more pictures. You ain't kidding about the skill, Za. Boggles my mind when my dad scratch-builds tanks from old bits of scrap wood, but this is beyond remarkable, 27 machining steps per track link... So at 78/79 links per track, after c.2100 operations, you've got... a single side of tracks, presumably without pins... No wonder it's taken 20 years.
