Thanks for posting this. It's always nice to see and hear about other who are into 1/16 scale drag racing subjects.

I really liked this quote, too- "I'd rather have one authentic model on my shelf than a cabinet full of approximations."

My pleasure. This guy can fit right in here with any of our heaviest hitters. He certainly has his priorities right.

Agreed. Scratchbuilding a fuel valve/pump in 1/16 is impressive, but 30+ pieces is borderline crazy. I can't even fathom how much patience it would take to do such a thing in 1/25 scale.

Although I don't build like that, I am always in awe of those who do. Thanks for the link.

I'd need a microscope and neuro-surgery tools!

But truly I think, given a high skill level, success at this only comes from thorough and accurate research. And knowing how the 1:1 parts work and their functions. I admire his skill and work ethic.

That engine was awesome! You better believe that I saved those two pics to my reference photo collection. THATS how a nitro motor's supposed to look like!
