Their Company Philosophy
(translated not very well by me)
We are lovers of
cars and do not accept compromises where models are concerned. Mass production of
Industrially manufactured models is not appropriate for
us. Therefore we only manufacture small series aiming to have detailing faithful
to the original cars .
There is a remarkable difference between us and the
"Big Boys": We are a small firm concentrating on manufacturing in a craftsman
style and to an exceptional standard. Before a new type goes into
"series" production, we make the pattern of the model manually in a
process that can take weeks. We use mainly the standard 1:43 scale which allows
the smallest vehicle details to be excellently represented.
It is not
sufficient for us to manufacture perfect models, you want to possess an accurate
mirror image of the car, therefore we use a special tin alloy for the
casting, and test and examine many sample castings to ensure the ideal casting
conditions.
Only then can the model can go into production. A mould is enough for
approximately 300 models and is then destroyed The cast parts are now cleaned individually by hand and
painted. We use 2 pack Auto paint mixed to ensure a match to the original color.
With much care and patience our coworkers
then install the prepared cast
parts, as well as applying decals and fitting photoetched parts made from German silver
with
turned parts from brass and aluminum. The assembly process can take up to two
to three hours on each model. Finally using a fine brush made with Red Deer hair details are painted by hand.
