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…

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

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.

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:
