Now that is some serious modelling, the wheels along are fantastic

Any chance of a link or clue where this is being posted Marc?

... regarding the size of the tools (and the laptop) and the chassis compared with the schedule on the cutting mat ... I would estimate a scale of approx. 1/8 ... ::)

Gordon, The images came up on my FB news feed. No site that I saw...just the chaps FB page. You can probably find it by plugging his name into the FB search box...otherwise I can try and scroll through the feed and find it.

Sorry I have no idea of the scale. Wasn't paying attentionto any text...was too busy scrutinizing the photos. :)

Russ if it's 1/24 there will be some good bargains in the modelling section of E-Bay shortly !

Holy tin bat man!
VERY IMPRESSIVE!

The wheels also caught my attention.

Here is his Flickr address. He makes props for a living-beautiful work. He also did a 1/6 jeep kit recently that was very well done.

This guy is something else! I checked out some of the other photos on his Flickr and, if you haven't yet, I urge you to spend a few seconds there. He is in the same league as you guys if you built models full time. -- Russ

Check out all of his Flickr sets. He said the huge set for 10,000 BC was trashed when filming finished.

Nice to see some of the "how to" images.
I'd like to try a wheel in 1/16th!
The helo was great.

Was about to comment on the jerry can holder until I saw the finished version with the strap cut out finished on the flickr page.
Amazing attention to detail!
