its worth what you are willing to pay..some more..some less..I for one have no desire to own it..therefore value is very low..but as art it is priceless..and it is for that reason..I could never afford the price anyway...and if I did own it, it would be just another dust collector..I have way too many of them as it is..it is in the proper place, a museum for all to see and enjoy..

This reminds me of the fellow in England who makes the metal model Bentleys. Same amount of detail. A friend of mine builds plastic models and has heard of the man making the Bentleys. He does it for a living and they sell for tens of thousands of dollars. I imagine these planes do as well. People with that kind of talent deserve to make a decent living!

Tim and Robert, you are both right...I want to see what something like that go on ebay. I am just curious how much people pay for them! I dont think he does it for money, but I agree he is talented and deserve to earn a good pay. is it that the most talented artist have died pennyless. . ..:confused:

Is there information on this man and what his motivation, education, and training were to be able to do this degree of detailed work of art. Maybe he is a watchmaker or eye surgeon. I could not see the tools or machines in , I hesitate to call it , the workshop. It is more like a laboratory. I would need and electron microscope and one of those monster robots they use for prostate surgery. Seeing artestry like that I am inspired to do better. Fumble Fingers, Frank
