[Closed] You have told Sergio what you want....Now what would you like to see done in white metal......(pics)

White metal? Who do white metal anymore? So 20teens.

Brooklin, SMTS, Tin Wizard a few other manufacturer’s. The latter two also ...

do stuff for other companies like Route 66 and British Heritage Models.

Resin would be preferable.

The DeSoto along with a figure of Joy Harmon?

Would you pay white metal prices if it did, David? I know I would!!!

Pics: I'll go for a '41 Mercury wagon.

I seII both white metal and resin and there is a heaIthy market for both.

Many coIIectors stiII prefer white metaI over resin. The reason; resin modeIs, whiIst superb, are deIicate and do not stand much handIing. Those in my coIIection stay in their dispIay boxes so the don't get dusty and subsequentIy need dusting which can be damaging to the deIicate parts. White metal modeIs are much more robust and any detached parts can easiIy be replaced. Dusting is less damaging to the models also.
This not a criticism of resin models. Producers such as GoIdvarg and Matrix make highIy desirable and coIIectable modeIs. It is however a defense of white metal. Brooklin's recent offerings are superb, aIbeit a tad expensive, no doubt because they are not made in China. Who knows, if there is a Western rethink on how we deal with China. the resin modeIs may become as expensive.
White metal is still popular and still has a place in our hobby. Let us not consign whitemetaI to the dustbin of history.

Ditto on the 41 Mercury Woodie and add 1939 International Woody

I agree Mike and am thankful that both resin and white metal models are available; especially at the quality of those manufacturers you mention and several others. For many of us the availability of good resin models means that we can afford to have many more and different cars of the past represented in our collections. If they were done only in white metal we would often be forced to pass them up. Goldvarg is currently focusing largely on cars from the 1960s; a decade glaringly underrepresented before now. There are very many beautiful cars in this decade that I want so I appreciate that resin use makes this now possible. I love white metal models too of course but reserve my purchase of those to special favorites due to cost. No complaints from me....its a win-win.

Second City Motors is doing White Metal and is gearing up for the long haul. Stay tuned...

Yes Mike, I collect both but prefer white metal overall. I wish more were made.
