Title: Best Model Ever!!!!!!!
Post by: wil3ur on January 29, 2013, 10:46:25 PM

I don't post much anymore... but I saw this and knew the community would appreciate it.  This is probably the coolest model I have had the pleasure of seeing.  I still want to know how these things take off, judging by the exit, there can't be wires, I doubt they actually fly, all I can think of is plexiglass ramps you don't see and electromagnatism... but this is excellent.

Enjoy!

...OK, you can see it better at night time (hadn't finished watching) there are wires, but they're under the plane (for the landing at least...)

Still VERY cool.

That was awsome.  I wonder how long it took to do that and where in the world did they find the room to work on it and set it up?  The staged take off's and landings were really well done considering the limitations.  Someone has WAY too much time on their hands.

Thanks for the post.

Amazing. It looks so real.
Real life footage sometimes looks much more toyish ;)

That is some amazing cinematography...  Thank you for that.  And I like that song too, even though I cant understand it.

Incredible!  Intricate! The finest model building and working diorama I've ever seen.
