disturbman Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Crazy (french) people... I'm speechless. Very Impressive! Link to comment
disturbman Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 One even make a railroad diorama to size when the other was stalling on one mold. http://forum.larsenal.com/viewtopic.php?t=440&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=90 He even says: "Too bad that it's not possible to motorize those locs. There is not available motor, even electric, that are small enough." Link to comment
Bernard Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I'm speechless. How does he have the patience, the dexterity to do something like that! There are times I think N scale is too small. :icon_salut: Link to comment
disturbman Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 They are two but, anyway, they have nerves made of steel and the eyes of a... what?... cybernetic ant? When you read things like they had assembled 17 pieces for a loc 30mm long, or that one of the crane have ~430 pieces to it... you think they are very very very very very talented people.

Darren Jeffries Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 This is truly outstanding work by the modeller. I wouldnt have the patience (or the eyesight) to do it. I always think that, whenever i see things like this, a harbour in a bottle, a rail layout in a briefcase etc.... One of the reasons i model 72nd scale aircraft is because i dont have the skill or ability to do what these guys do so well. Yes, I may end up with a 25cm long f-18 or a b-52 with a 30 inch wingspan but the detailing is far easier to achieve for me. Kudos though to this talented frenchman Link to comment
cteno4 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 I would have never thought myself thinking t gauge is big! does show what could be done at 1/450 scale! i know some of the ship stuff is done at around there, but most seems to be at 1/700. cheers jeff Link to comment
Kabutoni Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Wow! That's just crazy! When I received my T-gauge stuff I couldn't believe what I saw, but this makes me want to eat my shoes from frustration (figuratively speaking of course... They are kinda dirty). Link to comment
