About Us
For over 40 years Brooklin have built white metal models to an ever improving standard. Through our models we aim to tell the story of the automobile industry, its successes and failures, its icons and disasters, the luxurious and mundane. These are not just models, they are Brooklins! During the late seventies, Brooklin was amongst many white metal artisans creating models of American and European cars in 1:43 scale.
Even in those early days Brooklin was different with models never offered as kits but always fully built and ready to display. Half a century later Brooklin is the last of those companies and continues to build high quality models, still made in England and still eagerly sought after by those fortunate enough to know about this unique place of creative model-making.
Forty years bring great changes and new developments in technology have ensured ever-greater degrees of accuracy and finesse. But the same simple principles remain: highly skilled artists creating original masters from brass, working to drawings and photographs supplied from many hours spent with real vehicles, talking with owners and other expert historians.
