Hey Randy, you're right on the mass production. It doesn't take much longer to cut ten pieces of styrene strip versus just one. Once you build the first one to make sure your ideas and techniques will work, then you just line them up and do them step by step. One good thing about doing a bunch of cars is that by the time you finish glueing a particular part on 10 or more models, the glue is dry on the first one and you can start the next step. Another time saver with the mass production is the thinking and measuring time - think and measure once, then make all the needed parts at the same time.
Right now, each of the cars has about 60% of the brake rigging complete. Stopped by the LHS and got more .015 wire to finish up. Should get that done this week. After that, they'll go to the paint shop, but not sure when that will happen.
