Another one from FB.

Wonderfull work

The razor blade gives truth to the claim (unless they used an over-sized novelty razor blade ).

Excellent work! Better than I could do in 1/48, I'm thinking!

Yeah, that looks like his level of excellence.  Damn, but that boy is truly a gifted artist.

Very nicely done.

Love the action in this one, also found on FB.

Wow...that last one is amazing ! A lot of 'awesome' dios in the last while or sure. Funny how they stir the imagination...thanks guys !

[Weaver]

That's outstanding! 

[philp]

Another car one, not quit as action packed but still nice.

[Madoc]

Philip,

Wow.  I can just hear the rebel yell echoing in that one!

OK, so  how did he get the smashed bits of caravan suspended in mid-air in the piccie? There's no sign of thin wires or clear supporting  rods at all.

[bearmatt]

Yeah, I wonder how too? Is it just the perfect angle to look at it? (so you don't see any wires?)

In this one I can just make out a few very thin wires & the modeller has carefully linked many pieces so that they are, actually, touching each other or the car. The only piece that has me completely baffled is the orange plastic tray (although there might be a piece of wire coming up from next to the small piece of debris below it).

Both are really good but, for me, the Mad Max one is excellent.

He cheated.
He used a motorised car that actually did smash through a model caravan.
And then, just at the right moment, turned on the little machine hidden in the base that froze time.
Just wait 'til the batteries go flat: it won't look half as good.

OK, found the original pic on the aussiemodeller site and a second one.  It does look like there are pins holding up some of the parts.
