PATTERN MAKING - Mr. P

This is Mr. P.

He's got the horn.

PATTERN MAKING - Mr. P

Well, he will have the horn once he's made it.

He's making a loudspeaker horn/cone for the LDM 98.

PATTERN MAKING - DARREN

Darren is making a licence plate/boot handle/light component for the BRK 178 (1937 Oldsmobile L37 Convertible Coupe)

PATTERN MAKING - DARREN

There is still a little work to do. The etching which has the letters on needs to be fixed on plus lots of detailing.

SMALL PARTS CASTING - NICK

Dar Nick always seems to be casting baseplates. That or spraying them....

These are for the LDM 92 - 1956 Ford Zephyr Mk II Saloon.

PLATING CASTING - DAVE

Dave is making his own 'coin of the realm' again.
The exchange rate is awful though.

Oh wait, these are BRK 178 side-mounts. They will be plated and then have a painted piece glued either side.

FETTLING - LITTLE ANDY

Magnify-cent work, Andy.

FETTLING - LITTLE ANDY

Andy is sanding the bodies for the 'Loudspeaker Van'

FINAL ASSEMBLY - MARTYN

These LDM 95 (1964 Bristol 408) models are nearly ready.

They just need to be tired...like me, I'm always tired :o)

FINAL ASSEMBLY

The finished LDM 95.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

There are a lot of side strips on this car.

I've just noticed that I haven't put the licence plate on this one...oops.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

We eventually got all of the components together for this model and it was worth the wait.

The thin, plated windscreen really sets of the model.

FINAL ASSEMBLY

The side mounts are of the 'sandwich construction' type, like Dave was casting earlier.

The plated middle section pokes out a little giving the impression of a plated strip running around the outside.
