I saw that years ago. It's incredible to think that he even learned glass work in order to create the headlights. I think there is more on fineartmodels.com

The dedication that it took to make everything, gears, light bulbs, gauges, etc... by hand from scratch is amazing bordering on crazy. My favorite part of the whole video is how the thing sounds when it's running. I'd have to rebuild the engine every couple of years because I'd have a servo setup and I'd run the thing.... often. That Ferrari sound is amazing.

I wonder if he ever made that second model. I can't imagine having the patience and skills needed to do something like this.

With all that time and work, why not just go full scale.

I was under the impression that he now had some helpers, and was making more models.
