That is seriously impressive!

It's scary some of the details they manage to get on it.

That is great, good effort!

That really is incredible, the level of detail that has been achieved is oustanding. Must have lots of patience and dedication.

Incredible, no other word for it. The level of detail and commitment to it is insane.

glad you mentioned this, because when i read through the thread (and posted it) he hadnt posted about the job yet. thoroughly deserved

What job was he offered? I can't imagine card models are a big part of building an F1 car?

Year long work experience IIRC. It must be a dream job for the guy given the amazing detail of the model!

i he doesnt say the specific job, but i imagine it will be something to do with putting the carbon fibre on the car

Wow, that is totally insane!! Impressed with red bull for offering the guy a job too, very well deserved.

it could be model building, they do use 1:2 scale etc for wind tunnel work

Type_R · 22 Jan 2012 at 22:50

Absolutely Epic! Never seen anything like it! Good stuff that he has the work experience for a year and hopefully will continue there making a real F1 car!
