Not mine but - Ferrari 312 1/3 scale exact replica

This isn't mine, but I just had to post this.

http://www.fineartmodels.com/pages/p...oduct_area=139

It is freaking mad, it is an exact 1/3 scale model of a Ferrari 312. When I say exact, I mean everything was custom built to be exactly 1/3 the size of the real car, even the goddamn spark plugs!


"There is no sign of deviation from the real car in terms of replication. The spark plugs are miniatures, the radiators were hand-built to the exact same core design as the real ones. Even the water reservoir fill cap is a Fiat radiator cap made exactly the same way as the real one and pressure tested. The suspension is exact and the hydraulically controlled brakes from the brake pedal have quick-change brake pads just as on the real car."


If anyone can find more info or pics, please post.

Re: Not mine but - Ferrari 312 1/3 scale exact replica

This car was featured on the tv programme Top Gear quite a few years ago, but the film here was cut off before it finished because the guy who built the car said that he was going to build another car, he said he was going to do an Alfa Romeo but I'm not sure what model of Alfa it was going to be, I think it was a sports prototype along the same lines as the Ferrari.
Awesome talent, a true master of his craft.

No sir it isn't.
That doesn't make it known to everybody and it sure is worth the attention don't you think!?

Simply amazing, this guy sure made something much more then just a 1/3 scale model. Thanks for the video link, Proosen. Took me awhile to see it but was worth the wait.
