  1. Impressive, and reminds me of those Michael Bentine model 'flea circus' type set ups, seen on TV in the 1960s.

    Wow, both of those are really impressive. The models in the second video look to be much smaller than those in the first. Perhaps kits or toys that someone has done a lot of work on, to turn them in to working models ? Either way, very nice.
