HN comment orderWhat an insanely beautiful model. It makes me happy to think that humans find the time to do things that have no value beyond their beauty and the pleasure they give to people who work on them.
The detail on this thing is just insane. The amount of time and effort put in is comparable to what it takes to build an actual aircraft. [UPDATE] Just to clarify: building an actual jetliner is obviously orders of magnitude harder than building this model. But I think building this model is probably comparable to building a light aircraft like this one: https://www.vansaircraft.com/rv-14/
