Mike's Miniatures
Hand-crafted Models of Distinction
INTRODUCTION
My name is Mike Serrurier and I live in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. I have worked in engineering for most of my life, having had my own business for 15 years.
I have always enjoyed making models and admire the work of the famous precision model makers. After selling my company in 2006, I moved fulltime into the field of acrylic plastic products and model car making, producing scale models, mostly in the 1/43, 1/18 and 1/12 scale.
Some of my favourite models are Lotus, Jaguar and Morris Minor. See some of the examples on the Lotus pages.
One of my specialities is making wire wheels, I turn the rim and centre hub on my lathe and the photo-etched wires are inserted. I also produce tyres.
Any diecast or resin model collector is welcome to contact me to discuss the various aspects of scale model collecting and the manufacture of models and or spare parts.
It is a hobby of mine which keeps me very busy and with communication facilities like Skype and E-mail it is always nice hearing from likeminded people and sharing information and photographs.
