A designer named Luca Iaconi-Stewart spent 5 years of his life creating an almost-perfect 1:60 scale replica of an Air India 777-300ER airplane. One of the most shocking parts of this story? He used only manila folder.

:rock:

have to agree, but .......


he drops out of college to do this?

is it a cool model, yes

will he get a job because he quit college to do this, I think not.

the model truely is an incredible thing but I cant help but to focus on the more important an overlooked story here, in that this guy was so obsessed with it he thought it was a great idea to quit college to have more time to play with his toy airplane and may have ruined any chance he will ever have at getting a great job.

I suspect this guy will be flipping hamburgers for a living from now on

Webster, I agree. If focused this obsession to school, he may have graduated early, gone on for an advanced degree, then get a great job. Making model mock-ups.

Way back when I worked for Utah's major hobby distributor, when I brought in a new model the retail manager would sometimes say "Let's give it a glide test!"

I have neither the skill or patience to start such a project but I really admire people who can dedicate the time and effort to a hobby, and produce such amazingly detailed objects. :Kaleun_Applaud:

Jimbuna 01-23-14 05:22 AM

Lionclaw 01-23-14 09:03 AM
