25 forum posts 16 photos	Hi, I'd like to know if anyone has information on a supplier (in the UK) of casting sets and drawings etc of model milling machines, shapers, lathes, grinders etc. I've found a company in USA called PMresearch who do 1/12th scale models from the 1890. A google search will find their website. I'm interested in the workshop machinery side of this hobby and if I'm going to machine models then these are what I'd like to do. I've seen pictures of completed model cylindrical grinders and millers on the show pages of MEW and these look very interesting. Does anyone know if these are made from casting sets? Any information and links to uk model companies on this topic would be appreciated. Thanks, Mike Wilde
