White Metal Casting - Vintage Cars - Brooklin Models Production 2

Developing a new model can be a slow process. Time and effort must be invested to find the full size vehicle to be modelled which can involve long distance travel. Hours of measuring will then be required along with hundreds of reference photographs.

Phase 2 goes a little bit like this:
The brass body master is then refined along with the other parts.
Master moulds are made test fit and create duplicate masters where required. Body moulds are created by the careful layering of strips of virgin rubber onto the master, encasing it in a steel frame and vulcanising at over 300°F.
A specific body mould form is created to assist body mould production
Test castings are produced.
A "Test" model is assembled to identify problems or the need for further refinement.
