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.

You may however select to purchase a Kit that you can assemble yourself for a personal touch.
