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 ftree 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 ...

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 & instructiton 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.
