Both of those are incredible. The precision and patience involved it unbelievable.
The Triumph club that I belong to visited the basement of George Luhrs here on Long Island. He makes miniature engines. And when I say miniature, I mean that he has made the smallest bore running engine ever made at an incredible 1/8". He fired all of them up while we were there. All of his engines are spark ignition 4-strokes. He even makes the spark plugs. He showed us some tiny ones that had 0-80 thread on them. That's like 0.060". /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif

I've read about George Luhrs in <u>The Home Shope Machinest</u> magazine. Great stuff! That little V8 is neat too.
The scale Ferrari is almost too over the top for me.....heck, he could have built a full-size one easier!
I own about 50 small-scale steam engines that I've built over the years. Most of mine are pretty simple (I don't have Mr. Luhr's patience!).
The plans for many of my engines are ~HERE~
(I just noticed that my page has over 760,000 "hits"....but it's been up for a while)
