Just thought I'd share this on the forum after seeing it last week at the Kempton Bike Show.
It's a fully working Myford ML7 with a difference, it's a 1/4 scale model of the real thing
It has a great story behind it as well. The guy who made it was showing it at a model engineering exhibition when it was spotted by the owner of Myford. He was asked by Mr Myford if he would sell it to him as he wanted it in his office. The answer was a polite 'No'. He was then asked if he didn't want to sell it would he make him one if he was paid but again the answer was a polite 'No' on the basis the guy didn't need the money. Mr Myford then pulled out the ace card and said to the modeller, 'If you make me one I will give you a brand new Myford complete with all the tooling'. The deal was done and there are now two of these fantastic models (or there were, Myford has long since gone and I don't know what happened to the other model).
I dont know if the above story is true but that was how it was told to me
Amazing model making, mindblowing to think the hours that must have gone into making it.
