Someone has too much time on their hands...

A rather nice little animated video of the internals of a 1949 G3L engine going round:

Someone definitely has too much time on their hands to put this much effort in. Must have taken hours!

Clearly a lot of work has gone into the animation but now it offers other interesting possibilities. Solidworks, the computer aided design (CAD) system used to create the animation is a very functional piece of "solid modelling" software. It would now be possible to send the solid models to a CNC machining system so that the parts could be manufactured. Alternatively tooling could be made. Perhaps Jampot Spares would be interested?

I'm learing how to use Rhino 3d for that purpose. I recon I can reduce the cost of any bespoke item if I can design it myself.
