Maybe this gentleman is common knowledge amongst A/C modelers...if so I apologize for posting something that is widely known. I was blown away when I saw these photos and read this web description. This guy is a modeler!

He is a craftsman. His builds are from sheet aluminum, cable and scale link chain.

Yes Astounding stuff, I first saw his work here on the Kitmaker Network when it was known as Armorama, several years ago and inone of the very early posts on the then Aircraft site.
Always good to see his work, thanks for posting

I saw these works on a special artical about him several years ago. I think these are 1/16 scale, all controls work the surfaces from the cockpit-flaps, rudder, etc.
Article had a pic or 2 of his garage/workshop that had I think 2 CNC machining centers...........
Ultimate awesomeness!
