Bernd that is some fine modeling.  It must be great to have the skills of a machinist and use them so well.

Thanks for kudos. Those skills didn't come over night. It's what 30 years working in the machine tool industry does for you. From high school shop class, two years of BOCES machine shop and the over 30 years working with machines making parts that when build cut gears for the automotive, aerospace, agriculture, marine and tool industry. Also what helped was a father that was tool-n-die maker. Dad always had machines and a workshop. So I know of no other way than to use those skills for model work.

Nice work. Can a diecast frame be end milled?

It's a little gummy but it can be mill. Just take it slowly.
