That is so cool!

Think of all the "builders" out there (bikes and cars come to mind) who turn out all these really cool hotrods but really just do cosmetics - they never do mechanical build-ups. This has it all over those guys.

I think the owner should ramp it up and make a full size version just to say he did. Put it in anything. Boat, hot rod, old farm truck...just do it. How many other people can really mean it when they say 'I just built an engine...'

Those little buggers are way cool, The owner of Mattituck Air Base one of the best piston engine re builder's in the US has an aircraft engine about 5 inches long in finite detail that runs. It looks like it was built by a Swiss watch maker! I found one similar to your find below.

That stuff is pretty neat.. It must take those guys a long time to make that stuff.. Knowing how long it takes to do some of the full size stuff.. :) Jamie

I hear you and we can buy the parts already made for the most part we dont have to make them.
