I dont know what to say here,I am in awe of these models. I have built
scale RC planes and have a pretty good sized model railroad,but this 
persons weathering and aging of things is outstanding.
He must be single as no wife I know would allow the time for this.
I mean a scale impact wrench!...That looks used!
The barrels outside look like they actually are rusty.
I will stop now.Thanks for the link

Subject: Re: [Emc-users] [OT] I wonder what lathe this is modelled on?

My guess would be a Colchester, fine old British iron. I have a
