Still a response.
In 2014 I was feeling really bad, as an escape I went into the garage and tried to make miniature flintlock rifles.
I emailed Paul Hamler for a rifling gun barrel, he sent a drawing
of a rifling bench and gave me the confidence that I could do it myself.
He helped me a lot and also sent my first PDF drawing of a Lancaster rifle.
I wanted to engrave a patch box, when I got it back engraved it came with a chisel and a note, you can do this yourself.
Some time later I saw a Swivel breech rifle from David Price on the internet.
I emailed David to ask how his system worked, he sent pictures, then we connected and he made me feel really good.
In 2014 he introduced me to ALR.
This is how I came into contact with Norm Johnsen (showmi). He is a pilot and flew to the Netherlands and visited me. That was a beautiful time. Now he only flies domestic flights. That's too bad.
I met Hans Muller in the Netherlands, a special person with beautiful stories.
My wife and I went to Norm and David's house in America
and also met John Rider and I felt the guns, which is what Mike Brooks says.
The members of ALR told me what I was doing right and wrong.
This motivated me to do my best.
And that also gave me a pat on the head.
What do you mean make miniatures? It has given me a lot.
