If it hits some ones foot it will take it off and is deffo not for the side roads or back garden. Local running track is good though.

Might see if it gets wedged under a car though

Sure there is some you tube vids of them smashing into people

Mate those are fantastic, whats the scale and what and where do the materials come from? I'm assuming they are one offs these models. love em.

Peace.

I'd say 1:48 scale.

My Schwimmwagon 1/48 my challenger II 1/72 scale and Volker Bembenicks diorama 1/35 scale !

@ SG you can see above the scales

these models are all made from production kits (plastic injected) airfix stylee

with added detailing from etch metal detail sets , plastic card !

They are very atmospheric mate. I probably wont turn into a model maker,I'm more of a hammer and anvil kind of hobbiest, but I like to see these neat things.

Peace.
