Some people are crazy (in a good way

)

15 years to built a single model. Talk about dedication.

It never ceases to amaze me how much detail can be incorporated into a model when you put enough time and effort into it. This is truly a masterpiece. Bravo, bravo!!!!

After seeing that it makes even my golf game mediocre and my modelling skills even worse...

Must have been expensive to build this model !

My dad made one of these of normal plastic and it looked good too but then again , 15 years is along time and solid silver parts ?

Man a beaut but thats al it is.

I'm thinking the same thing...how expensive that Hind must be. Architecture building models cost thousands of dollars and are laser-cut. For this guy to use a microscope to make the parts, the cost is priceless.

With skills like that, I do wonder if it would be more profitable making other things...like custom Swiss watches for instance.

We should thank the guy who built it. You know damn well that as soon as his last piece was constructed and then installed to finish it, Trumpeter annouced their Hind! :-) :-) Its that unwritten rule coming into play. Beautiful work. "Q"
