If all you saw was the crossing model next to the dime or the ball point pen, I’d suspect a variant on the old John Allen trick of photographing HO models next to a huge mock up of a lead pencil — but those fingertips look too real for that! Astounding.

Awesome!!!

I’m pretty good with the soldering iron, but if I tried to work on something that small, my hands would be like those of a sturgeon.

Used to solder surface mount electronic boards similar to our decoders by hand when I was younger.
