Awesome piece of model engineering...

<< < (2/2)

muddyjlx:
i spent 2 years building a 2" scale working steam lorry once.

that was hard enough.

Bush Tucker Man:
That was featured in Clarksons 'Extreme Machines' series

V8MoneyPit:
Even the gauges work.

Clarkson was amazed by the valves.... they are relatively easy! He had to mould tyres and cast the glass for headlights. But what I find most impressive is that it has a working fuel injection system  :shock:

My sister ex husband is a commercial model maker. One of his 'regular' jobs was building 3rd scale (I think!) traction engines and steam rollers. Each one would sell for 15-20 thousand pounds  :shock: But it would take him 6 months full time work, so it's not that much money really.

My favourite Ferrari.
That model is out of this world.

Usless information.
The con rods in the full size Ferrari were made from titanium at a cost of £1,000 each. Would somebody like to put that in todays money  :twisted:

Range Rover Blues:
For sale? :(kerching):  :(kerching):
