Eurotech Models, Inc., Chicago, Illinois. 1992-1999.
Pictures below is a small representation of my past work, while I was working as a model-maker for hobby industry in developement of plastic scale model kits.
Making of a scale model kit is very tedious, difficult and complex process. It can't be done alone. Deadlines have to be met and everyone's evolvement is important. These pictures represent work of all team members. Therefore to honor my former co-workers and employers I mention my involvement as significant, fair or minimal only.

Work on scale models may as well be be very exiting process; however, that's not all, what has to be done; it's may be just half of the process.
All the parts and main models have to be placed on parting line blocks and molded now.
Large injection mold prototypes have to be developed with same precision the car body and/or parts were made.
In development of scale model kit this is the most important stage of all.
This is the process which makes or brakes good model kit.
This is where the meaty stuff is and this is where the rubber was grinding the road; this last stage pretty much determined, who was who in this business in those days...
