Awesome Remote - Controlled Big Truck
Luca Bordin is a big fan of American trucks, and since he couldn’t get his hands on a real rig, the Italian handyman decided to build his own Peterbilt 359.
Bordin but it over 2,000 hours of work, over nine months, but the result is just breathtaking. His remote-controlled Peterbilt 359 model is a perfect replica of the original, right down to the authentic California license plates. The 16-foot-long, 3-foot-tall model tips the scale at 180 kg without the trailer, and goes over 250 kg with the trailer attached. He used images and drawings of the American truck, built a perfectly scaled wooden model of the cabin, which he later used to make one out of fiberglass, created a sturdy iron-pipe frame capable of withstanding serious weight, and used a steering system inspired by go-karts, where the wheels have a different turning radius.
To make his 1/4 scale replica Peterbilt 359 functional, Luca Bordin installed a 36-volt, 750-watt electric motor, which, although not as powerful as he would have liked, is strong enough to tow his Nissan Patrol GR SUV. He even made the “green” decision of mounting a solar panel on the trailer to provide power to the truck. Other cool features of the remote-controlled truck include hundreds of LEDs lighting up the cabin, real truck horns powered by a mini-compressor, and even a small fog machine, like the ones used in dance clubs, that pumps fake smoke through the twin smokestacks. The truck even sounds authentic, thanks to a pair of speakers that emit the sound of a 400-horse-power engine.

The trailer is also an awe-inspiring work of art. On command, it opens to reveal a 22-inch LCD display, and a monster sound system that is bound to make any automotive enthusiast jealous. Luca Bordin says he hand-built his awesome Peterbilt 359 truck replica for personal satisfaction, and doesn’t plan on selling it.

Andre Lassen's Skeletal Cutlery Makes Eating Breakfast Badass
I am willing to wager that when the devil sets his table, he uses André Lassen's Skeletal Cutlery. Lassen is a Dutch artist who specializes in making all sorts of macabre and badass weapons, furniture and jewelry pieces.

Awesome Pencil Sculptures by Dalton
For most of us pencil is just a tool used for painting, drawing, or updating checkbooks. But in the hands of Dalton, a Brazilian-born artist who lives in Bridgeport, these ordinary pencils turn into miniature sculptures.
He carves sculptures out of the tips of pencils using sewing needle and razor blade. Apart from these he needs very bright light, and there is no use of a magnifying glass in creation of these artistic works. Each of these sculptures takes months to years to complete as he works for about an hour and a half a day.
It took Dalton about two and half years to complete his best-known work, "Alphabet" a set of 26 pencils with each letter of the alphabet carved into the tip of the graphite

List of Top 6 Ridiculously Expensive Things For Kids Of All Ages
Toys are generally thought of as being for kids, but kids don’t often have enough hard cash to pay for the really good stuff. Here are 6 really expensive toys for the kid in you – assuming you have a decent paying job or are just really bad with money. They range from small gadgets to giant extravagant conveyances. Take a look at the gallery below and imagine your second childhood with some of these babies in your closet – and a ton of debt at the bank. Probably a good thing you're just imagining it.
6.Arcade Keg Machine
It’s a video game cabinet, and a keg. So, to clarify: You can play video games on it, and get beer out of it. Knowing that, why wouldn’t you be willing to shell out $4,000 for it? It’s worth twice that, at least.

It’s like a James Bond movie or something. Wondering how much it costs? Well, there’s the catch – this particular model will set you back about $190,000.

List of Top 3 Most Expensive Watches Made By Rolex
Mention the name Rolex and you will automatically think of luxury and ultra reliable watches. Considered as one of the most valuable brands in the world today, the company is the largest single luxury watch brand. It produces around 2,000 watches daily and has revenues in the billions of dollars.
Alfred Davis and Hans Wildorf established Rolex in 1905. Originally based in London, the company eventually transferred to Geneva in 1919.
Sports lovers will always see the Rolex sign in tennis grand slam tournaments, particularly in Wimbledon and in the Australian Open. The brand has been used in the most extreme of conditions. It went down to 10,916 meters when Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh dove the depth of the Mariana Trench in 1960. Both men sported a Rolex Sea Dweller Deep Sea Special at that time.
It has also gone way up when the chief guide of the Hillary expedition to the peak of Mount Everest wore the brand in 1953 during their assault of the world’s highest mountain. Tenzing Norgay, as well as other members of the team, was sporting Rolex Oysters on their way to the top, reaching an altitude of 8,848 meters.The watch is a proven timepiece.
Here is a list of the Top 3 most expensive watches made by Rolex.
3. Rolex GMT 116769TBR – $485,350
2. Eric Clapton’s 1971 Rolex Daytona - $505,000
Just like his guitars, Eric Clapton’s watch seems to be highly valued. The watch features a silver monochrome dial, a stark contrast to the more common design themes of Rolex that have different schemes. As a result, the watch was nicknamed Albino. The price of the watch in the market is around a hundred thousand, but Slowhand himself had worn this one, thus, the increase in its value.
1. 1942 Rolex Chronograph – $1.16 million
Only 12 pieces of this 1942 classic were made. Originally estimated to have a value of around $680 thousand, it went at a Christie’s auction for $1.16 million. The watch has a nickel finish and lever movement and silver matte dials. It features 17 jewels and pink gold Arabic and baton numerals. It also has outer minute divisions, blue telemeter, black tachymeter scales, two subsidiary dials for constant seconds, a 30-minute register, and a split second chronograph mechanism.
