There
are pieces of casting (white metal), photoetched parts, lathe-turned
pieces, transparent plastic for glazed parts.
The conception and the realization of a car require from 15
days up to 6 months.
This time can be broken down into this way :
- Selection of a model and colours,
- Research of documentation. That means find and see the real
car when possible to picture and measure it. The time taken
with the real car allows André-Marie Ruf to feel the
car. This feeling will remain while sculpting the wax and it
explains why each AMR model have a real personnality.
- Drawing at the scale.
- Once
the model is chosen and that the required documents are found,
it's time to sculpt, clean, polish, cast and draw. The
four steps below will give you a rough idea of it all.
