Would like to have posted a larger picture of these miniatures but don't know how. Anybody help? Ralph

[Hilton Ralphs]

The size seems fine. Did you make those?

[Ralph Juarros]

Oh, if you click on the picture it displays a larger version. I should have known that.
Yes, I built them of brass with steel blades and exotic wood tote and knob. Ralph

Here's another. Ralph

Ralph,

Welcome to the Creek. Your profile doesn't show a location. Where do you call home?

I like the little chariot plane. The others are also very nice.

I used to work with an engineer who had a pocket protector with a row of tiny tools. He would always comment that he had little tools so he could do a little work.

Thanks Jim. I'm from Colorado (just updated my profile). I am retired but keeping busy building miniatures.

OK...those are like WAY cool! I am always amazed at what folks can come up with and produce around here.

I am impressed. Seriously.

Those are the sweetest tools I have seen in awhile....
Real nice job Ralph and welcome to the Creek. Nice way to make a splash!

[Ralph Juarros]

Thanks Gary.
Thanks Harold.

From a plural to a singular Ralph, are these tools actually used or are they more for show?

How did I miss this thread the first time around?

Those are amazing, Ralph! I absolutely love minature stuff like this, but haven't had the patience since I was a kid making Tamiya models.

Do you ever sell them, and if so, what kind of prices are you commanding?

[Ralph Juarros]

Thanks Dan. I am more of a builder and collector of miniature things, though I have gifted some items to special people. I might consider a commissioned piece, but the time invested in each item would make it pricy. Ralph
