A sixteen year member of Los Angeles Live Steamers, Brad Bluth is offering custom casting work to scale model builders.
Patterns fabricated from your drawings, and specific to your project, can be cast in a variety of materials using traditional methods. Lost wax castings are available in common bronze, brass and aluminum. Sand castings are available in bronze, brass, aluminum and iron. Plastic castings are available for architectural details not exposed to high heat, including clear and colored lenses for lighting.
Brad has thirty-five years of mold making, pattern work, and model building experience. The smokebox featured in the inventory photos is part of Brad's 1.5" scale scratch built Heavy Pacific under construction.
The working air pump and water pump mounted in front of the smokebox are two of four pumps built by LALS member Ken Mitsch (kensft@mindspring.com).
The inventory photography was taken by LALS member David Lazarus.
