After many fits and starts, I have the mold made today to build the daughter patterns from our master for the K-27 wheels. These will be to Kozo's drawing. Thanks to Curtis F. and Charlie P. for their support during this process. Steve Zuiderveen Allen Models of Michigan, LLC Attachments:

Here is a photo of the components of the pattern plate for the K-27 wheels. After skimming the rear of the daughter patterns today, the plate will be assembled and go to the foundry tomorrow for production. Parts, from bottom to top, are the master pattern, the mold, the gates, and the six daughter patterns. Once we have the pricing and delivery established, we will have a pre-production special. Free Priority flat-rate shipping (or a credit toward foreign) for those who buy an eight wheel set before we actually pick up the wheels from the foundry.

Nice! Now, I just wish I had the money on hand to order a set now. Will have to wait till after the first of the year though...
Thanks for keeping us updated, Steve.
