Title: The greatest steam modelist ?
Post by: rhavrane on November 20, 2014, 07:43:41 pm

Bonjour,


Please watch this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Siv_1L_Ep0)  :-))


I have not met him, and to my opinion, he is the greatest steam modelist I have ever seen.


I should find an opportunity to go and visit him...


If you know people like him who can be seen on the UTube, please share !

Bonjour Tony,


Absolutely ! As he says (in French ok2 ), he has spent 33 000 hours (!) since 1983 to realize EVERYTHING of his 60 machines.


And all his machines are exactly like real ones, just reduced scale but functional !!!


If you wish seeing more of his machines, have a glance to fredyfredy42  (http://www.youtube.com/user/fredyfredy42)channel, you will not stop discovering other surprises !

Very nice! I am partial to Roy H Johnston's 3/4 scale live steam work, the 'four aces'...pure art.

Nice, but not one boat in the lot.
