While I completely agree these guy's plastic toys big enough to stick
a dog in are indeed super cool, this one wins my award for shear fanaticism. http://www.retroplane.net/frankfort-model/page1.htm Here's info on the plane it's a model of: http://www.retroplane.net/cinema2/accueil.htm It's only 1/4 scale, but it's 1/4 SCALE, down to the tubing, linkages, and hinges, controlled from servos connected to the scale control column/rudder pedals. Sheesh, talk about too much time on one's hands...here's more from the group the Cinema guy is with: http://www.retroplane.net/index.htm -Paul |

![]() Wow! *Amazing! *What a craftsman! And now the 'real' nuts: http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/Park.htm (not gliders, but damn...) I would care to venture that these are the NICEST model Corsairs and Mustang ever made, at least in 1/16 scale... The list of distinguished modelmakers he is honored amongst has some extremely impressive models/model makers, http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/modelmus.htm , which are part of a greater society of craftsmen: http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/ And a personal fav of mine the http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/Jordan..htm (scale machinery to maintain the scale gliders/cars/machinery etc ;-) -Paul (sisu1a) And of course the scene would not be complete without a true 1/3 scale Ferarri for the 1/3 scale pilots to arrive to the 1/3 scale airfield in: http://www.craftsmanshipmuseum.com/Scerri.htm |
