A man with his priorities straight!

Half the steps he took did not seem to accomplish anything.
Paste thing onto plane. Remove thing from plane. Last edited by PushingMyLuck; 01-20-2014 at 02:34 PM.. |

Lots of snow Porsche away

I thought the same but I guess that was all masking for an application of clear paint? Seems odd to me to go to all that effort and end up with a livery you can only see in indirect light?

I knew a guy who flunked out of Notre Dame because he got so into Bridge.
What a waste. |

That is cool as hell.
Check out the thrust reversers and the hatch mechanisms. This meticulously crafted 777-replica is made of manila folders

Can anyone explain that paint job? Clear with white emblems / writing?
Dropping out of college for this is nuts. Could have found a summer job as a model builder for an architecture company instead. In 5 years from now, a guy can hit the print button on his 3D printer and be done in under an hour. I don't have a lot of respect for model building overall. Especially if it is something that's not functional. Especially building HUNDREDS of friggen seats, same one after the other for years, you have to be insane! G |

Why knock the artist? I'm glad there's crazy's like this in the world.
Love it! And that vid on the thrust reversers... neat. Thanks for sharing the post -

I don't think of it as art. Maybe I should.

I wonder how many manilla folders it took.
Mad skills, but how the heck did he support himself during all of this? Wish I had the time & money to fk around like this when I was in my 20's. Though, admittedly I wouldn't likely have done anything as cool.

I bet if he doesn't have a job already, this video will get him one.
