Real Nausicaa Glider


A certain Kazuhiko Hachiya from japan has taken it upon himself (and a team of artists and engineers) to actually build the Mehve jet-powered glider from Hayao Miyazaki's film Nausicaa. I really don't know what to write about this. The shear level of nerd godliness displayed hear has left me without words to convey its breadth.
