Wow

and double Wow

The V8 might be the smoothest running model engine I have ever seen. Impressive.

and it probably has more power than some cars I have owned

Looks like the V8 is running some kind of Megasquirt? And it has a dry sump!

Beautiful! Looks like a lot of die cast parts. I've worked as a machinist and can really respect what it takes to do that level of work.

That V12 need to have the vanve lash checked.

I like the V8 better. It was smoother running.

However, it was cool to watch the 12 get assembled.

A guy over on the HAMB board is a retired Ford pattern maker, and he's posted some 1/3 scale stuff he's built. The pictures are pretty amazing, he's really talented.

I see GRM listed in the comments about the small V-8 in the original post.

Those are pretty neat. Have you seen Pierre Scerri's 1/3 scale Ferrari 312PB build completely from scratch though....fully functional in every aspect and took him 15 years to make, 2 years to tune the exhaust to sound like the original:
