Mooneyzs Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 John.... you have me super impressed man! This build is just coming together. I can't wait to see how you are going to make the working butterflies. I was debating on doing that with the funny car and having it ties to the gas pedeal so it would move when you pressed down the pedal but am a little afraid it may be to delicate and have a possibility of breaking.

Interceptor Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Wow, John. As always incredible work. I almost fell of my chair whenI read you were only building for four years. You truely are blessed with such abilities. I hope you don't mind me asking but I have a few questions. Where do you find these dimensions you are using to make your frames and linkages ? Are there specific books or mag's to look for when one wants to build such a masterpiece ? Thanks for the answers. Can't wait to see the next update. And before I forget thanks for the great pic's, they really tell a story. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Hi Mark......I have been building steady for almost 4 years but,I built as a kid from about 9 to 14 years of age........I gather reference photos off the internet "Google" and reference photos here on MCM from other builders.......I just eyeball and measure dimensions on my own.......they are not perfect but,I try to do the best I can.......I am no way a professional.......but,I am happy what I come up with......thank you so much for your kind words.

gasser59 Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Man this is stunning and I love the use of mixed media: styrene, aluminum sheet, 'O' rings, resin, steel wire, etc. Its beyond compare John and I'm immensely enjoying following along on this epic build.
