I heard about this guy and what he did but I never saw any video. Fantastic job! Did you hear the sound of this miniature 12cyl engine he built? This is absolutely incredible. One of the most amazing video I ever saw. Thanks for sharing.

That man deserves some kind of medal. That is dedication and ingenuity like I have never seen. I can't believe he made all the internal engine components, gear box, fluid systems, electricals... that is just crazy.

That's pretty amazing right there. Now all he needs to do is build a little remote control robot driver.

With all that effort and time, why didnt he build a full size replica. In the scheme of things the cost of raw materials would be the least of his worries. Perhaps it can be used as Stuart Littles next car.

I think the challenge of doing it in scale was more attractive to him.

It is obvious why! Most of the challenge came from making a miniature version. It made everything 10 times more difficult. That is what makes modelism so interesting.
