If Oerjan doesn't mind me jumping in and answering for him:

All the FT minis (Oerjan's, mine, the original CMD ones etc) are done
actual-size, in styrene plastic (sheet, rod and strip plastic). All the
tiny details are added from tiny slivers of plastic strip etc.! It's not
that hard, just a bit fiddly and time-consuming!!
