View Full Version : And you thought HO is hard!!
boss9 01-11-2007, 12:55 AM Hello-
Mates—we have it easy…a piece of cake…a walk in the park…
This is some work by a Gent’ named Willard Wiggen of Birmingham England-
He has a learning disability (Dyslexia), but has extremely talented hands...
He makes the sculptures out of dust particles, sugar crystals, etc.
Works only around midnight, and can only do some of the work between heart-beats…

Bill Hall 01-11-2007, 04:54 AM I wonder what he uses for tools?
TX Street Racer 01-11-2007, 07:52 AM Now that's skill........what an art
tjd241 01-11-2007, 08:37 AM This is crazy small stuff Boss. Talk about keeping the door shut and don't anybody breath!! The closest thing I can think of is like the difference from G-scale trains to Z-scale and I think even that is not a proper comparison. I wonder if he does custom work and takes orders? I could use some HO scale fast food items (burgers, fried clams, chips, etc) for my trackside snack stands!... He would have to scale up quite a bit though. Very cool stuff... thanks for sharing Boss. tjd
coach61 01-11-2007, 11:00 AM that is wow incredible stuff...can you imagine if he ever started doing ho cars? I wish I had a 1000th of his talent thanks for sharing that !

gear buster 01-11-2007, 11:09 AM That is some very awsome work I do agree. Gives a new meaning to needles and pins. Thats make you look at building these cars in a different light.Making little figures inside needles now thats talent I must say.
sethndaddy 01-11-2007, 11:10 AM I wonder what it is he is using as material???

T-jetjim 01-11-2007, 10:42 PM now I know how Claus can get that amazing detail. He really isn't on German time, he can't work until after midnight either!

FastMann 01-14-2007, 08:17 AM That's just crazy! But I guess this guy could help us answer the question of how many demons can dance on the head of a pin. Who wants to bet he hasn't sculpted one of those already? :lol:
