Although very, VERY impressive, it can't hold a candle to this:-

Ferrari 312 PB replica scale model. Must Watch!!!

The whole concept/execution makes your brain explode! It really taps into the 10yo boy/gadget-freak parts of our (male! lol) brains.

As JC says, the ultimate toy!

Absolutely superb!
What a great engineer that guy is. When you consider it had to be designed with all material spec., parts toleranced etc. and I bet he sat at a proper drawing board and not a computer with a CAD package!
As someone who has had a lot of dealings with model aero engines over the years, I have great respect for such skill and dedication.
