I'm totally late on the boat with this one, and would have missed it
entirely had I not done a search to see what you've been up to! Boy am I
glad I did...this absolutely astounds me Mladjen. The sheer size of the
beast alone knocks me down, but what amazes me is that despite it's
enormity, all the components come together to make it look like a unified
design. I find that often creations that are large can either look too
sparse, or too busy....hence my timid hesitition with building them! The
K-55 however strikes such a perfect balance that from the thumbnails it
could easily be mistaken for a micro scale model. Once enlarged, the beauty
of what you've accomplished becomes clear.
Others have detailed many of the merits of the design so I won't repeat, but
let me just say that it's nothing less than awe inspiring.
Wonderful work sir.
Cheers,
