Holly molly, how do they make such a tiny thingies?!
Perfection of all the small details amazes me - chips around lathe,
paint falling off the gas tanks, rust on bikes...

All I can say is WOW!  The detail is great.  I'll have to admit that 
amongst all the old Triumphs & Harley's & Beemer's, I half expected to see 
a prewar Indian Chief with its 4 cylinder inline engine, and possibly even 
an Ariel Square 4.  But even in our world of today, Jay Leno probably owns 
50% of the survivors in 2012.  Very few left IOW.  I rode a borrowed Chief 
in a veterans day parade once, with a square 4 in front of me.  I have 
never again seen both in the same year.  The Chief had a suicide clutch and 
was hell to control at sub idling speeds, but was also very quiet.  You 
could hear the Ariels mechanical noises a block away.  I was a bit green at 
biking then, back in the middle 50's, and didn't realize till 25 years 
later that that ride could and should have been in the history books, but 
it was just part of the glitz for a veterans day parade then.

Cheers, Gene

My guess would be a Colchester, fine old British iron. I have a
Monarch 18-CBB that looks similar without a tray top.

No, definitely not a Colchester, and probably not British at all, as
they tended to put the feed handle at the back (so Z was right-hand,
and X was left hand).
Unlike the US practice of putting your left hand under the flow of hot
swarf controlling Z.

I use a Colchester Student as shown in that picture rather regularly,
it's an extremely nice bit of kit. In fact every time I use it I am
reminded what a hateful pile of scrap I invested a ton of money into
CNC converting…

I have had a quick look through a few guesses at www.lathes.co.uk, but
not found any good candidates yet.

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

I think my favourite detail is that one window pane has unpainted
putty, presumably because it has been replaced since the frames were
last painted.

I have been just staring at these pics all this time.
The 30s machine shop is pretty neat too.

The meticulousness of this model surpasses any diorama I've seen at any 
scale. I found myself responding emotionally to it. There was a sense of 
"wait, haven't I been in this shop?" Curiously, I spent part of a trip 
to Ohio last month trying to find a similar shop, in existence 45 years 
ago, where I bought my last motorcycle, a Norton Atlas. I found just a 
vacant cinder-block building in complete disrepair with no evidence of 
its past---no decals in windows, no RidgidTool calendars on walls, no 
parts in the bin. Sic transit gloria mundi.

As for the lathe, my experience with full-sized lathes began and ended 
with South Bends and Hardinges. Not a clue.


Thanks for the pointer.

Regards,
Kent
