... 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. :)

Holy tin bat man!
VERY IMPRESSIVE!
I hope I can find more info about how he did it.
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.
