Polish engineer Shimon Klimek (Szymon Klimek) joins in their works of art and engineering, creating models of cars early 20 th century, trains, steam engines and fancy carriages.But the interesting thing is that any of his work can easily fit in an ordinary glass mug.

 Many works of the author decorates metallic colors and sparkling crystals."My career is at the intersection of decorative, engineering, art and jewelry," - says Shimon Klimek, who prefers to store their thumbnails in wine glasses.
