There are plenty of folks on this forum (NOT ME) who are equally talented.    Sometimes they show us their work here and sometimes they don't.    I just thought that I would point that out.   Sometimes the grass seems greener on the other side.

Well I'd say for sure without a doubt that the original poster is more than capable of that type of work!

Certainly very talented. I'm not sure I get the draw of the miniature long rifle though. I'm a practical guy, to me it seems the hours invested could be of greater use elsewhere.

Personally,  I am fascinated with the miniatures, but I have always liked making models.   We have a member here who is as accomplished in the miniatures.

With Australian gun laws like they are maybe miniatures are all he can legally make.

Our Paul Hamler is one such artist.

The mini lock is made nicer than many full sized ones! Holy Moley!

I think it's one of the greatest things I've ever seen! Practical or not. The best artwork ever created by man has nothing to do with being practical.
