Check out this site to see some real quality model making from scratch. You have to scroll down a lot and ignore the language.

Kind of makes you think of what America used to be about......craftsmanship.....which most don't seem to give a rat's ass about anymore.

Oh...my...God! That is unbelievably fine work! And a beautifully done, complete pictorial record of how it was made. I'm totally awestruck. I'm also amazed that the guy seemed to use regular sized tools, was making everything from sheet and bar stock - stuff I would have sworn had to be cast - wasn't using glasses or magnification when lacing up the wheels, made the damn door handles work and was a cool enough guy to have a picture taken with him standing someways behind it to make it look full size. The only thing that you could possibly say indicated that it was a scale model was the fabric weave used for the convertible top. There must be thousands of hours in that model.

Human beings have some amazing potential and this guy has achieved something wondrous. Thanks for posting that link, Dave!

Take a look at this:

it really work?

[RicodJour]

I looked at a lot of his studio pictures and he seemed to only wear glasses. I was expecting to see all sorts of lighted magnifying viewers, loupes and that sort of thing. I'd love to have a beer or three with that guy.

There are no countries that are known for that level of craftsmanship - only individuals. Swiss watches and German engineering are catch phrases, but Wingrove makes their work look ham-fisted.
