    Hi, I saw a video a while ago of a guy in Italy with a little machine shop where he was scratch building scale model Ferraris with working engines and drive-trains. I've been trying to find it again here and on google with no luck. Can anyone lead me there?

    Thank you in advance.

    Wil

    You may have seen them already but someone I know e-mailed me pictures of a guy building insanely detailed airplane models out of aluminum. I'm not sure how to post them but If you PM your e-mail address I'll forward the pictures to you.

    Thanks again,

    Wil

    No problem! That video has been in my YouTube favorites for years!

    I actually have been trying to find out what show the clip comes from. It isn't Top Gear, but rather one of Jeremy Clarkson's solo shows.

    If anyone knows where this video originates, I'd appreciate it!

    ... and Wil, you have a PM. :)

    The video originates from a show Jeremy Clarkson did for UKTV's People channel called "Extreme Machines" in 1998. UKTV was (is?) partly owned by the BBC.

    Kind of refreshing to see a request for this video instead of a new post to show it! :D

    Thank you! A while back I had thought it was his Motorworld series, which was definitely worth the download, but disappointed me when the model wasn't featured...

    Here are those insane aircraft models Wil spoke about...

    They're by a man named Yung Park, and as you look at the pics, keep in mind that all the controls work, even in this scale...
