PATTERN MAKING - DARREN

Darren is cheating by 'Speed sanding'

Nah he isn't, but it's a good technique.

The bar in the end of the drill has a slot to hold a piece of sandpaper.
The paper then 'Laps/Tickles' the metal as it spins.

PATTERN MAKING - DARREN

The new BC 008 completely filled with resin.

This will form the basis for the window forming pattern.

PATTERN MAKING - Mr. P

Mr. Pinker has to be VERY careful with this job.

He's shaving a fraction of a millimetre from the window beading of this LDM 77.

One slip and it's a lot work to repair it.

PATTERN MAKING - Mr. P

The complete LDM 76 - 1955 Sunbeam Rapier  MK I.

FETTLING - RICH

A 'Fettlers eye view' of the BC 007.

SMALL PARTS CASTING - ANDY

Very hot, just cast, BC 007 headlights.

BODY CASTING - BIG ANDY

The mould for the CSV 007 is just starting to break down.

The heat and pressure that the moulds undergo to cast the models is quite intense.

Eventually they start to decay. When a generous amount of filler is needed it's time to get a new mould made from the master.

FINAL ASSEMBLY - MARTYN

OLC 01 is officially out.

The first batch is finished and awaiting the packing process.

SPONGE-TIME

The lawnmowers look great but the are a little more delicate than a model car.

We're Cutting our own packing foam to make sure that it's held really well for posting.

FINAL ASSEMBLY - ANGIE

The new BC 008 is on the bench NOW!!!!

Yeah.....don't go to the shops just yet,
give us a week to get it assembled eh?

Thank you!!

MOULD MAKING - NEIL

Neil is using Paint thinner to glue parts of the mould together.
