1st - 5th February 2010

PATTERN MAKING - Mr. P

Pinker is cleaning up the secondary castings for the new ROD 24 Tonneau.

SKIVING - NEIL

Hard at work as ever.

He claims that he was 'Supervising'

Someone was heard to mutter a phrase containing the words:
Couldn't, Supervise, Up and Brewery.

SMALL PARTS CASTING - IAN

BRK 162 Tonneaus fresh from the mould.

FETTLING - RICH

These are some of the new Mustangs which will be available in 2 colours.

Green and Blue this time.

PLATING CASTING - ANDY

A good example of how much metal get used just to make a small piece of plating.

On the ends of the spru are the BRK 162 Upper-grills. The rest of it is 'waste'.

Fortunately though, it all gets melted back down to be used again.

STRESS RELIEF TIME!!!!!

Neil is using a drill to test the thickness of the BRK 153 roof pieces.

MOULD ADJUSTING - NEIL

It was decided that the roof was a little thin so Neil is now using a mini sanding drum to remove a layer of rubber from the mould.

This will allow more metal in, thickening up the roof.

BODY CASTING - BIG ANDY

BC 004's ready for Fettling.

PAINT ROOM HELPER FOR THE DAY

Little Andy has been promoted from the casting room to help Tim and Bob with some work.

PAINT ROOM - TIM

Tim is drilling the holes that are used for screwing the cars together.

These holes are also how the models are mounted for spraying.

FINAL ASSEMBLY - MARK

Busy Busy Busy.

FINAL ASSEMBLY - MARK

Mark is assembling the BC 009's at the moment.

FINAL ASSEMBLY - STEVE

The last of the BRK 101x Muntz Jet's are complete.

As soon as the roof pieces are dry, they can be bagged, boxed and posted.
