Hi, I'm new to the forum, and am currently writing a book on the history of white metal model makers with Ray Strutt. We're nearly there, but i also want to move on to resin makers, can any one give me some contact detail leads?
Thanks
David

Very interesting theme David.
For the resin kits I think you should communicate with the resin-kit makers such as Tecnomodel, BBR, Make Up, Model Factory Hiro etc.
I've seen once a couple of videos on the proccess that Model Factory Hiro (MFH) uses in production. I'll search those videos and post them here.
Anyway in this Forum you'll meet many experts on high end kits.
Welcome on board,
John |

It sounds like your book will be of great interest to quite a few of us in here.

The pioneer in the world about the white metal was John Day in England, after other makers in some Country (Italy, England, France)

Hello, I attended a model car swap this weekend in Wayne New Jersey and one of the vendors had an extra copy of this book for sale. Fantastic job and kudos to Ray and David. Steve Mattero who is a local dealer had no idea about the book and was surprised to see his name referenced in the section covering Ian Pickering. I would highly recommend adding this book to any enthusiast's library.
Thanks, Mike Schmidt

Will more than happy to help.
I already have "A history of white metal transport modelling", published by Ray Strutt and David Wright some months ago. |
