Default Not Full-Scale, but Fully-Functional!

Hey guys,

I recently stumbled upon this video of a 1:3 scale Ferrari 312PB that I think I just HAD to show you.

It belongs here since some of the guys in off-topic probably won't understand and appreciate the dedication that the man in this video has done.

Here's the scoop:

- 1:3 scale
- Ferrari 312PB
- Fully-functional gearbox with 5 or 6 speeds (can't remember), and working reverse
- working flat-12 engine
- working gas, brake, and clutch pedal
- 3 years to blueprint
- 12 years to make
- dedication to his craft!

You may know of the "miniature V8s" that have been circulating in the net recently.

Bu this is a COMPLETE and WORKING 1:3 model of a Ferrari 312PB.

Words just can't explain what's been done here... Just watch the video:

What about that monkey that they used in that movie where it was playing basketball? You know, the Airbud-type movies!

I know the guy says that he wants to sell it and use the money to build another one. But in my opinion, I would just stick with that one and not sell it.

He'll regret selling it. 15 years of your life to create something of THAT magnitude isn't worth any money in the world. That guy put is blood, sweat, and tears into that thing. There's no way you can put a price on one's emotions. That guy should be in the automobile hall of fame...

No No he actually wants to build something with power.

Slap a few servos on that thing and call it the worlds sickest r/c car.

Pretty amazing work there, just the time and effort into making EVERY little piece all the switches, lights and everything else . Especially since all he had to work with was photos of the original that he made the blueprints from.
That working tach is really amazing also.
