I've posted about this build a number of times but Gipicarto has just posted some updated images. This thing is simply amazing. Make sure to check out all 5 pages of the build to appreciate his attention to detail!

Rowan,

Thanks for posting. That is awesome and makes all other models look pretty basic. You are right it is simply amazing! I look forward to one day seeing youtube videos of it operating.

If your thinking of Marcel, then no, this is someone else. Marcel's work can be seen at the link below, another truly talented large scale model builder...

Actually in some of the postings he says no CAD or CNC! Not even digital readout on the mills he uses. He's a retired bank clerk!
