1959scudetto Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 Excellent model, Andrew - filled with details (I followed your WIP) - Mike Q. would be proud... didn't Paul Fisher do the castings ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absmiami Posted November 14 Author Share Posted November 14 I thought he did - casting was very good - but he may not have .... and the castings that PF produced under his own name were actually better but never figured out who did the master - which was quite accurate .... Gramps mite know ... he mite have told me - and i mite have forgot ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gramps46 Posted November 15 Share Posted November 15 I understood Paul did the casting. Not sure who did the master though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
