Modelmaking Service
We can build a model of almost anything for you; Whether
this be from a kit, or built entirely from scratch. We have
over 30 year's experience in model-making, & can cope
with whatever you require, in any scale. Please feel free to
email or write, giving as much detail as you can, & we will
happily give a no-obligation quote for your favourite
model.
Anything architectural or mechanical can be reproduced in miniature, & we are
happy to quote for Architects, Developers or Museums requirements, as well as
private individuals.
Painting & Lining; The finishing touch.
A good model deserves a good finish, and even a half-
decent model can be 'lifted' by a good paint job. Here at
Golden Arrow, we spray-paint the appropriate base coat,
then apply lining, in paint, with a bowpen. We specialize in
lining out locomotives, & take particular pleasure in
applying some of the more decorative Pre-grouping
liveries, SECR Wainwright & LBSC Stroudley being
particular favourites.
Locomotives, particularly Industrials & those from the late
British Railways period can also be expertly & realistically
weathered, to represent the typical grime & neglect seen
on locos towards the end of their working lives.
N.B. We do lining in 'N' scale ... see image right
Weathering
Very few locomotives of any era stay clean when in use,
particularly during times of war, or in the last years of BR
steam, when engines were allowed to get in a deplorable
state of filthiness. We can expertly reproduce this
condition for you, adding realism using an array of
different techniques, from a well-cared for engine with just
a little service grime;- (brake-dust, oil & slight sootiness)
down to the absolute filth, lime scale & rust common in the twilight of steam, & not
forgetting the different kinds of dirt which affected diesels, carriages, wagons etc.
Please enquire for further details;- reduced charges apply for 3 or more items
treated together.
Production Design Services
For many years now, we have been involved in the design
of kits, both for our own range, & for other manufacturers
who lack the necessary 'In house' expertise.
We can produce master patterns for resin, white-metal or
lost-wax casting. artwork for photo-etching, and can
supply exploded construction drawings & instruction
sheets or other technical writing.
If you have any requirements for short-run production in any of these fields,
please contact us for a consultation, with discretion assured.
