Thanks. I have alot of fun making "smalls" and you don't need nothing but scrap to make them.
 
I found a whole arrowhead once that wasn't even a quarter inch long,[smallest one I ever found]...showed it to a friend and he said it must have been for shooting mice,,, :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: ..is that what you'r rifle is for? :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

Dang guys this stuff is hard enough to build full scale. I know I ain't got the patience or the eyesight to do the minatures. But it is really neat some one does!
If you took the powder can and the caps out of the pic I doubt anyone would know! Gret work! :hatsoff:
 
I never did until now. Those are some really fine minis. I will study that site to be sure.I am working on a mini pistol but nothing so beautiful as what you have posted. Thank you all for your kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed the rifle.
 
Hey Undertaker, Just took a quick look at that site. The one word that comes to mind is remarkable.I'm inspired now I guess my pistol better be pretty darn good. Thank-you
 
Thought I'd show a side view. The nose cap and but plate were made from some old brass casings and the ram rod is a bamboo skewer with a tiny brass tip made on my mini lathe. I don't waste anything.

:thumbsup: hey thats pretty cool! small workshop? :rotf: serious thats neat! good work! RC :thumbsup:
 
No disrespect, but as long as it takes me to do something, I want to at least be able to shoot it when I'm done. I'd probably just lose them in the couch cushion or sock drawer.
