    Just go to the end and look at what this guy can do.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Hollywood level.

      Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

        Look at the Mustang - you can skip all the "building" stuff and just marvel at the attention to detail the guy has. Bending copper wires to look like fuel lines, etc.

        My favorite part was in the p39 where he drills out holes in the trailing edge of the horizontal stabilizer. "This is a detail that won't be very visible, but it makes me happy."

        The P39 was a four-day build, and it's only about 9 inches long, perhaps 10. The Mustang is four times that size. You can buy it here:

                I totally noticed that and appreciated it for the same reason. This guy is committed to his art.
