That's pretty sad when someone spends their free time building little scale models. I mean really...get a clue. I couldn't think of a better way to advertise that you have no life than to post pictures and videos of models that you obviously spent tons of time on that would no doubt be better spent doing other things. The ones who actually have the gall to post links to their work in forum signatures(like people want to see that?)...those are the worst.
Some people just have no idea how rich and fulfilling life can because they spend it chasing these pointless endeavors.
EDIT: Oh my, I just clicked on the link and I can't believe the detail this guy has put into this!!! The crew stations, cockpit, First class seats. It's a shame that all that ribbing has been covered up.
Looks like he is going to paint it? Definitely got to follow this one through to completion. That's some serious talent and vision. Had to post a link to the nose gear:

Not to sound like I'm bragging, but yes I could do this ......IF and that's a big IF I had the vision he does and the desire. When people see my models or my pointillism artwork, they often tell me they wish they had that kind of skill or talent. I always tell them that they do..their eyes work just like mine. Their hands are shaped just like mine. They only thing truly required is the vision to see your goal, and the desire to achieve it. A touch of dedication never hurts either.Come on Michael. I imagine you could do this.....ya know if you put your mind to it
I don't think I could ever pull something like this off, as do most when it comes to this. Then again, we all have something different that drives us. It's pretty cool when you think about it, everyone is blessed with certain talents and gifts and they are as diverse as we ourselves are.
The sad thing is to see truly talented people choosing not to exercise their gifts. This is some really incredible work, very inspiring. Some of thos pictures like that nose wheel and the cargo door look almost like 3d CAD renderings, they are that detailed.
