I'm not normally one to be easily impressed, but I found this just astounding!! 

OPERATIONAL V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND

This is not CNC technology; this guy made everything at home on his lathe and drill press. Took 1220 hours to make the 261 pieces. Note the end-loaded crankshaft into the block, 12 individual cylinder heads, TINY rods and pistons, dual "underhead" cams with pushrods to rockers in the heads. Amazing!

Here in Newcastle nsw at last years model train and hobby show a guy had an engine I think was a v16 built into a model of a dozen which was about the size of a kids tonka truck and it sounded brilliant. Hats off to those who can do such awesome stuff in such a small scale

Magnificent achievement, well impressed. Mind you, he needs to adjust the tappets, it sounded a bit like my old Vauxhall VX4/90.
