hi Ian
I agree with David and purchase a suitable sized mill and lathe as your time spent working out how to machine things is free also there are plenty of people on here in the model section who will happily help you out. as most of us on this forum are self taught machinist's. perseverance and commitment will pay off and your miniature will feel even more rewarding ounce it is finished.
wish you and your dad all the best with your project
regards sam
