Much as i HATE to link to another forum, for this I just have to.
If you have seen the film Kellys Heroes you know that Donald Sutherland plays frankly the character of his career as the Beatnik tank commander Odd-Ball.
well, this guy
here has built a large scale model of his vehicle from the film, complete with sound and light effects. the attention to detail is staggerering, as is the finished quality of ther model.
it is WELL worth gromfing through the whole thread, and I promise you you will look at your own projects in a slightly different way after!
