Nifty looking models! Tell us the story how you made them!! Also, are these casting kits of some sort?

The machines are casting kits from PM Research

I build a machine as distraction between engines projects. Some of the parts are very small and I had to make some Small cutters for the T slots, the Dovetails and the chuck grooves for the jaws.
In the process I learned that tapping #0-80 is no big deal.
