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.

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.

Jimbuna · 01-23-14, 05:22 AM

Amazing work and equally so detail

Lionclaw · 01-23-14, 09:03 AM

Wow!

Now that's detail, and in paper.
