Micro Modeling

I think HO is normal, N is small, Z is impossible, but this......... forget it.

That's downright uncanny. Even I sometimes have a hard time getting a thread through the eye of a needle, I certainly can't imagine creating a statue of liberty inside of it.

Amazing.

I wonder if he would consider doing hood ornaments? ;D

Would this be HZ scale (half of Z)? If this guy was doing 1/87 I'll bet his dash boards would kick butt. The world of miniatures never ceases to amaze me.

It would be duck soup for him to put the gear shift pattern on top of your gear shift knobs.

That is some skills there.

Perhaps on Z scale models.

He could probably do a crew for one of those 1/1250 ship models.

The more I think about it, the more I am in wonder. He must be using an electron microscope to see what he is doing. But does he use for his tools!! I wonder what he uses for a knife or for a paint brush??

I'll bet there's no caffeine in his diet either.
Bill, I was thinking about one of those small scale ships too, like detailing the aircraft on a carrier.

Speaking of micro modeling, this is N scale!! This guy is known as a guru in some circles but mostly in much larger scales. (thought Bill C. would get a kick out of this)

That's pretty nifty. One of these days, I will have to take a photo of the N scale M-B L2500 moving van I converted to a stakebed truck, complete with driver.
