Was cruising around and found this guy's site. Impressive amount of work - he scratchbuilt a 1/3 scale Bridgeport style mill for work on miniatures. Many of the parts for his miniatures are made on a pantograph using an original as the pattern.
According to the documentation, all mechanism parts are there in exact scale. On another page there's a scale 1911.

Absolutely a fascinating link, one which I will revisit soon. Thanks so much for telling us about it. Readers: Check this out! It's worth any time you can spare.

I wonder - possible to make .15 ACP brass and bullets? The primers would be tough, and the ATF would probably get interested...
tough, and the ATF would probably get interested...
I saw something a few years back about somebody having built a scaled down Browning .30 machine gun (air cooled version) that fired .22LR shells.....but I can't remember where I saw it. Not even sure if it was online. But he had little cloth feed belts sewn up and a scale model tripod built for it and everything. Dave
Tippman Manufacturing, currently makers of paintball guns and (I think) sewing machines for harness leather, made a production run of '19 Browning MG's in .22 long rifle, and Browning M2's in .22 magnum. They were written up in Guns and Ammo, and ended up on the cover of the Annual book as well. SSSSwwweeeeet!
