Today I’ve got another product review for you. This time it’s a 64thscale Kenworth K100 with two Wabash pups for ICX or under its official name “Illinois California eXpress” of Denver Colorado.
ICX was an LTL company out of Denver CO. It was founded in 1936 and ran for decades until deregulation of the late 1970s forced them into bankruptcy in 1984. The deregulation pretty much bankrupted all the LTL and union trucking companies and came up with a whole new system that we use today.
9 min - FIRST GEAR 64th SCALE DIECAST T-L Center Pivot Irrigation Systems Product Review
I'm back with another product review. This is a brand new item just out from First Gear Replicas in 1:64th scale. It's the T-L Center Pivot Irrigation system. It is a center pivot irrigation system section and it comes with a base unit. This is an absolutely beautiful model. It belongs on any farm toy collection or farm toy diorama because who doesn't irrigate their crops. You need irrigation to make those grain crops grow well, and this will really fit the bill.

I thought I'd like to do something different for you guys & come up with some product reviews on some of the latest & the greatest diecast that has come out along with doing some reviews on some of the much older models that have been out for a long time & sometimes still appear on the secondary market.
So, I think that is what we are going to do today. We are going to start on our product reviews.

Last week, I talked about the history of resins in manufacturing everything from hair combs to toys. This week, I’m going to talk about manufacturers that have made resin models in recent years and show off some of those fine models.

Twitter: http://bit.ly/TW-ADCInstagram: http://bit.ly/IG-ADCFacebook Group: http://bit.ly/FBG-64th-Gear-JammersPodcast: http://bit.ly/Toy-TalkThere are many materials that we can use, from white metal, to abs plastic, to diecast metal, to resin plastics. Each of these materials has been used to make detailed models over the years & i’ll do a history video sometime in the future.
Today I’m going to focus on diecast metal & resin plastics as these are the 2 main materials used today in making model cars & trucks.
In the world of model collecting there is a debate about whether resin or diecast is the best option for creating replicas. This is a valid debate for us as collectors to have after some of the poor quality models that have been produced with both materials.

We have covered in part one: diecasting & painting processesPart two: plastic injection & Vacuum Metalizing ProcessPart three: we talk about wheels & tiresPart four: we covered vacuum forming “windows”Part Five: headlights & other lightsPart Six: packagingIf you missed these parts of the series, you can go to my podcast to catch up.Today we are going to talk about assembling our model. Yay! We have already discussed making all of our parts and packaging. Now we have to put all those parts together.
Assembly is the most labor-intensive part of model making. The different parts require different methods of assembly. The model passes through many hands before it is finished.
Large production run models are built along a movable assembly line, much like real cars. The first station would assemble the body of the model and put it on the moving belt to the next station. At the next station another part would be added and then sent on down the line and so on. This would be repeated with as many parts as necessary to complete the model. Once the model is complete it is sent on down the line to the packaging station where it would be put in whatever type of packaging was chosen for this particular model, packed in a shipping carton and sent off to the warehouse to await shipment to distributors or retailers.Another way models are assembled is a system where each station puts its parts on in turn, but instead of the movable belt bringing the next model to the station, the person puts parts on many models, packs them in trays, and then the trays of partially assembled models are carried on down to the next station and the process continues this way until the finished model is done and put in a shipping carton. This method is more labor intensive and used on much smaller production runs.The last assembly method is reserved for the most limited of production runs. This method is where all the parts are at one station and one person assembles the complete model. Each set of parts would be laid out in order that they go on the model and the skilled model builder would then put each part on by hand. Once all the parts were put on, the model would be packed in its packaging and then sent to the warehouse. This is the slowest method to build a model.Each method of assembly is viable and has its merits. The choice of assembly type is primarily based on the number of units to make. The movable belt being the fastest method and used with the largest production runs.Next week brings us a new topic, So stayed tuned!Toy Talk is hosted by Logan Skeele Founder of Advantage Diecast, LLC10 min - DIECAST MODEL PACKAGING & BOXES - How Are Diecast Cars & Trucks Made - Part 6

Whatever cardboard box, blister, plastic display case, or window sleeve or box is used must be decided before assembly can begin. Artwork & shipping instructions must be printed on the packaging & the shipping cartons. You might say packaging is as important as the assembled models.
Afterall what good is a detailed model if you can’t get it from the factory to the customers hands?
We now have all the parts painted & ready for assembly. Our packaging is waiting at the end of the assembly line.
Now we are finally ready to begin assembly & we will discuss that in part 7 on next Thursday.
So stayed tuned.

We have covered in:Part 1: Diecasting & Painting Processes.Part 2: Plastic Injection Machine & Vacuum Metalizing Process.Part 3: We talk about Wheels & Tires.Part 4: We looked into Thermoforming & Vacuum Forming “Glass.”Today, we talked about manufacturing headlights, taillights, marker lights & light bars. We covered how they are made & colored. For mass produced models of cars & trucks the plastic injection machine is used. Headlights & taillights are often injected & cast as one part.
For more expensive models, lights are cast as individual parts & placed on the model by hand during final assembly.
Light bars are usually made of clear plastic. The red & blue color is painted on by skilled painters. Finally, we ended our conversation by touching briefly on illumination of headlights, taillights, marker lights, signal lights, & light bars. RC cars & trucks provide the best examples.
Lights add realism to any model & make the model come alive.
Next time I will go into creating the packaging for our model vehicle. So stayed tuned.
