Diecast/white metal model.

[Paul Cornish 2Participant @paulcornish2]

Can anybody suggest where I can get a diecast or white metal model made in 4mm (00) scale please.

I'm trying to get a 1953 HCB Commer K1 fire engine made but having a real difficult time searching.

I assembled a Fine Scale model of a ALCHIN royal CHESTER traction engine, the kit had been bought about twenty years pryor to me getting hold of it somewhere about the mid 1990s. It's around 4" long, and rather pricy, 3 or 4 hundred pounds. Made for a wealthy farmer who had owned a full size one until about 40 years ago. His son now owns the farm, and I think there is still some coal in one of the sheds.

Are you looking for a 1-off or for a run of models.

If the latter, try Lledo -they do custom promotional models.

Otherwise, the best route would be to get one drawn up and 3D printed and use it as a pattern for a silicone mould OR even get a bureau to print you one in sintered metal.

Not sure what scale this is, but if not 1:76ish you coudl use it as basis for producing a 3D model.
