To spend that much money, time, effort into building a model and not make it run is just silly. It would be just a slight increase in cost and engineering to make them work, and as crazy as this may sound, that just makes me think he's not as bad ass as he thinks. Wow, that came off harsh...
no... it actually sounds quite sane. +1


but definately, the 1:3 engines are sweet. (just not to the extent I would lay out that kinda cash unless I was in the Bill Gates realm financially. and then MAYBE)
