Man, that is just crazy!

I wonder if that guy had spent his 15 years doing a second job that he would have been able to afford a 1:1 scale version? He obviously has some skills. However, I have no idea if one is even available to be bought.

I used to know a retired engineer who had a custom built engineering shop at the bottom of his garden. He used to build scale models of old steam trains that actually worked. The boiler had to be fired to get up steam just like the real thing. The finished articles were superb things just to look at. He wouldn't sell most of them but he did sell a few for thousands of pounds a time! I can well understand the fascination, if you've you've got the patience not to mention the skill!
