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 Last edited by Webster; 01-22-14 at 07:19 PM. |

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.
