A talented man made a stainless steel aircraft carrier model to fulfil his childhood dream in eastern China.

Cool video filmed in the city of Yantai in Shandong Province on January 26 shows a 1.72-metre-long type 004 aircraft carrier model with attack and fighter planes on it.

By using electromagnetic catapults, the planes are able to take off on the runway. The model is also equipped with underwater flotation and power systems that can be lowered into the water, just like a real aircraft carrier.

The man named Ren Bailin used to work as a welder and welded components for excavators every day. He used some metal scraps to practice welding and assembled them into models of tanks and aeroplanes in his spare time, then sold them in night markets.

Ren said: "I am a fan of the military since I was a child. I used to buy posters of planes and tanks and stuck them at home. After the Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning came out, I was so excited that I thought of replicating the model of it."

"I finally fulfilled my son's dream and my childhood dream," Ren said.

不到一平方米的甲板上雷达、火箭炮应有尽有，舰载机甚至可以遥控“起飞”……这是山东烟台男子任百林制作的逼真不锈钢航母模型。
任百林制作的这艘004航母模型，前后耗时三年，在全长1.72米的舰体上，排列着攻击机、歼击机，通过电磁弹射，它们能够在“跑道”上滑行起飞。模型还配备了水中漂浮和动力系统，能下到水中，如同一艘真正的航母。
任百林只有初中学历，曾在一家公司当焊工，每天给挖掘机焊接零件。闲暇时，他用一些金属下脚料练习焊接，组装成坦克、飞机模型，拿到夜市上出售，很受欢迎。
任先生表示，制作航母模型源于小时候的军人梦，“我从小就是一个军迷，当年就喜欢买飞机、坦克的海报贴在家里，辽宁舰航母出来之后，可把我激动坏了，心里萌生了复刻航母模型的想法。”
“我终于实现了我儿子的梦和我儿时的梦。”他感慨说道。视频由任先生提供。
