About Us
​
Established around 2006, our first parts were for the 1/8 Pocher Ferrari Testarossa. This was after realising the Pocher model was lacking in detail. Our initial products were machined and polished exhaust tips, then on to machined engine pulleys, drive shaft kits and ultimately our machined and hand polished deep dish wheel sets.
​
Initially, for a short time, our items were available for sale online, then quickly developed into wholesaling only for many years.
During this time we were constantly developing new products for the Pocher models.
Our decal set for the Pocher Ferrari F40 has been available for most of this time and continues to be a best seller, with countless sets sold over the years. This is just one example of our products that have found their way to all corners of the world and on some amazing builds.
​
We have now made the choice to make our products available direct to the modelling community.
​
A number of factors led to this, however, not the least is the current economic climate effecting most of the world. Life in general has become a lot more expensive, and hobbies seem to have become a luxury.
​
We believe that having a hobby, a special interest, is even more important now more than ever. This is why we do our best to create products that exceed your expectations but at prices that are kept
as low as possible.
​
Our range is currently over 100 products and growing by the week, this is in addition to special order parts that we are asked to create by customers.
​
We currently use processes such as;
​
- Metal machining (CNC Equipment)
- 3D Printing
- Resin casting and silicone mould making
- Laser cutting and engraving
- Decals
As we are always investing in new equipment to allow us to offer you
higher detail parts, we also look to emerging technologies that will assist
us to produce items of greater detail and quality, but always being
mindful of pricing.
​
All our work is done ''in house''. From the concept, design and production. We also know it's crucial that everything we make has been test fitted against the actual model it is designed for. This is why we purchase the actual model for every part we produce.
​
We are car enthusiasts ourselves, with a very real passion for capturing the small details that can make a model part really stand out. The little things that go to make up the perfect model.
​
We will only make a kit or part available once it has been produced, test fitted, and then the installation also needs to be practical while delivering the most detailed product possible.
Our Bugatti Supercharger kit took an astonishing number of hours, with many test prints that looked fine, but had slight fitment issues, but this has all paid off as we have received incredible feedback for this kit, with comments such as ''best fitting aftermarket kit I've ever made'', being quite normal.
​
We aim to deliver this same quality across everything we produce, and we look forward expanding our range to include some very unique and innovative items to really enhance your model build.
