I'm a modeller as well ,(sort of in suspension) haven't built anything for a while , but the modelling bug has led me to metal work and woodwork ,although my trade is Fitting and Turning , I've always enjoyed woodwork ,did it in high school and couldn't find a trade in woodworking I turned to metal work.
I bought a metal lathe so I could turn aluminium barrels and other metal parts for my armour models and used wood work to make display bases for my models , one thing leads to another .
Any way I still visit a few websites to see what happening and I found this this evening

This guy has what I call AMD (advanced modelers' disease ) has to add all the little details and make every thing perfectly idential to the full sized original.
But what a fantastic achievement this is a real knock out.
