Some pieces are definitely from Motoart and they are still in business. They should be given credit for those images.
There used to be one of those reality TV shows about a company called Motoart that made stuff just like this. It was only on for 2 or 3 seasons several years ago, although I think the company is still in business. It didn't have all the "drama" that most of those shows have today, but there was some. It was really entertaining watching them come up with ideas for stuff and then build it. This might be some of their stuff.
Very cool would hate to know the price! $$$$$
