Not sure if this has been posted before, but it is a model of a 1:3 scale Ferrari 312pb. Below is a link to a few photos. The second link is to a video of said model running. It has a fully functional 12 cylinder dry sump fuel injected engine. 15 years and 20,000 hours. Pierre Scerri is a modeling God.

I just wish my modeling reflected the skill this guy has in his little finger.

Alas there are some people that seem to possess near superhuman talent. I won't comment on some of my Airfix models that have suffered daughter related accidents followed by superglue repair jobs ::)

He must be self employed, independently wealthy, or have lots of free time. Figure in 15 years a person would amass approx. 31,000 of work based on a 40 hour week, with no vacation time taken.
