if he was to come out of the closet is wife and children would panick

just a thought if say ford produced a new version ka and another company came along and copied the shape and called a ka would they get away with that ? same with models

hi heres something to get your head around this was in one of the news papers amanda read chinese urban citizen earn around £1400 to £1500 a year the rural citizen earns around £400 a year there food prices are to rise example tomatoes they paid 3 yuan for they will have to pay 5 yuan for soon . their leader said last year was a tough year this year will be harder. not so good for these people cheap labour ?

hi triss will try to explain just not good at this bit if i was just to produce 50 of one model only the cost to me would go through the roof in this country the resin tooling would not be a problem but the white metal tooling would cost a lot more because it could cast upto 500 models they would charge me accordingly to cover there tooling charges .have tried other companies here in the uk to reduce costs but the standard dropped to much so the parts are now in the scrap bin at our cost . our only option would be to move the casting and production abroad but that defeats what we are about to produce our models in our home country . just would like to add thanks to every one who has supported us here and abroad many thanks dave and amanda

hi mark just a small example the first thing the casters ask is how many we are making if enough the tooling cost is added per model hence the cost of casting they look for between 500 to a 1000 pieces.the resin mould lasts for about 50 castings then new tooling, the white metal between 300 to 500 castings hope this is some insite to your topic thanks dave

WHERE DID THIS "SHOUT" AT YOU COME FROM. YOU EXPRESSED A VIEW I DID THE THE SAME THOUGHT THATS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT, OR SHOULD SOME OF US HAVE TO SHUT UP AND LISTEN ONLY IT WAS NOTHING PERSONEL TO YOU JUST A STATEMENT. NOT Amused

PITY WE DON'T WISH US BRITISH PEOPLE WOULD PRODUCE THIS STUFF

at least the americans have native production unlike us here in the uk most think its great to buy foreign models we need support here in the uk aswell

first off we would not consider ourselfs as one of the main boys just one of a few trying our best secondly after being at quite a few shows over the years people not only come to veiw but also to buy makes there trip worth while that was my comment in the previous responce dave

differant to the feedback we got from people had the best show selling our hand built models still as important as displays one compliments the other ?

great news after speaking to tim bolton today he told us about the show he will be announcing it in the magazines he will also be sorting the trade stands and sending out forms for this well done tim

the plough we had in the kverneland box was with green boards and springs and had never been removed a freind now owns this model

i like this very nice job a credit to you would like that in my collection

still struggling to get this lot built in time could do with another couple of weeks (phew) don't forget the auction for the tractors we have built in aid of kidney research a good cause please many thanks
