Been checking this out for a while....
Thought I'd throw my 2 cents in... You sir are a true craftsman.. I enjoy and admire your work as much I like looking at John Terisi's and Clay Kemp's builds...!
You guys are in another league than I am... as I stick to using mostly plastic and use some aftermarket parts. But I don't machine my own parts.
Though work like you guys do...does inspire my builds to be in scale and realistic looking.
Really like your work Tim...! and thanks for sharing...!
