v12 miniature marvel...

Dear diablog,

There are times when one does things that one knows will not appeal to others. However, despite the anticipated whinges of 'boring' from Pete, Engine Room and Smiles (and I have to admit that model making is not one of my favourite passtimes) the following, for anyone interested in things mechanical, is amazing. Despite being a little long (just skip through if you prefer) you cannot fail to be stunned by the skills displayed by Patelo with every part hand made and probably the smallest working v12 in the world.

What is even more stunning is that it was sent to me by Christina  -


 - who seems to be really interested in uplift.

If you didn't watch it all at least look for the moment when it fires up. Gasp!
The skill and dedication are extraordinary and I salute you.

Yours, diablog, exhausted

Dear Glynsky,

What do you mean long? I had a brilliant morning thanks to your vid, or rather Christina's. I love it.
Who is the guy?

ER

Glynsky said...

Which guy, Patelo, me or, god forbid I tell her you think she is a guy, Christina?
As we write she is in the International HQ combing the net (and my dreadlocks) for 'new stuff' - though I doubt she would fancy you.

He who built the machina, of course.

If you really mean it, try motorespatelo.blogspot though you can find loads of stuff on him through google.
Still happy?

Engine Room said...

Boy, you are slow.

Obviously I was hinting, that you should add a link to the guy in your post.

Do it. Now.

ER

Glynsky said...

Can't - I'm under an Alfa (only 4 cylinders!) - you do it!
Baaah.

Engine Room said...

Yeah, right,

You have internet access under your Alfa.

If you were a women, you would have a chance to get away with the sentence "you do it for me".

But you aren't. Yet.

ER

Smiles said...

Wow, lying under an Alfa or lying in a hos[ital bed. Now where would I like to be?

Engine Room said...

Easy, under the Alfa.
Hospitals is were you become sick, if you aren't already.

I had thought/hoped you were back on track.

Wishing you a speedy recovery,

ER

Glynsky said...

Hi all - I'm back!
Smiles, sorry haven't phoned for a couple of days and hope recovery progressing well.
As for you, ER, under an Alfa means - under an Alfa, except that when the f****** starter won't come out, advice is always available. You got it - on line.
Thanks for doing the link.

Engine Room said...

Thanks? For what?
I haven't done the link.

Doo eeeeeeeeeet,

ER
