your models are really quite well done.

If you don't mind sharing, where do you get the parts? Do you machine them yourself? Is there some sort of small engine supply shop that sells all these little bits and pieces?

the gearing and tooth belt in particular seem like they would be hard to come by.

thanks

I use very common materials like steel, alumium, brass, bronze, etc. Gathering this (rest)materials is a normal part of the hobby; somtimes easy, somtimes less easy. I machine them all by myself; I even make always my own designs. Toothbelts and the pulley's for it are for sale at more or less specialized suppliers. Not exactly the same as I have used probably, but look for something similar an addapt the design a little bit to what you can get.
Greetings and success,
