Hi Tod
Some years ago i read a book by a bloke who made large glass case models of fancy crars. He formed the intricate shapes from brass and used easy flow of diminishing mp to fabricate complex larger assemblies.
I have not read all the refs but presumably the Seven model maker made his own patterns and castings. Alloy is not difficult; my father used to cast small parts for motorcycles althouugh in the day when could still purchase coke.
