汽車(chē)模型的各個(gè)部件都是澆鑄出來(lái)的，澆鑄就需要金屬模具。汽車(chē)模型廠里會(huì)有專門(mén)的車(chē)間生產(chǎn)金屬模具。他們根據(jù)石膏的模型，使用機(jī)床加工模具。這個(gè)車(chē)間猶如所有的機(jī)械加工廠一樣，一進(jìn)入就會(huì)感到滾滾熱浪，金屬的撞擊聲、旋轉(zhuǎn)的刀具發(fā)出的切削聲不絕于耳。這是一個(gè)讓人不愿意多呆的地方，但是工人們依然默默的在自己的崗位上，為每一個(gè)精美的車(chē)模流著汗水。

The various components of a car model are all cast, and casting requires a metal mold. There will be a dedicated workshop in the car model factory to produce metal molds. They use machine tools to process molds based on gypsum models. This workshop is like all mechanical processing plants, and as soon as you enter, you will feel a rolling heat wave. The sound of metal impact and the cutting sound of rotating cutting tools cannot be ignored. This is a place that people don't want to stay much, but the workers still silently sweat for every exquisite car model in their posts.

和真車(chē)生產(chǎn)一樣，汽車(chē)模型也要先生產(chǎn)零件，再進(jìn)行組裝。一般零件的材料有兩種——合金金屬和塑料。這些零件都是靠一種被香港人稱為“啤機(jī)”的機(jī)器來(lái)生產(chǎn)，不過(guò)它可不是釀造啤酒的機(jī)器，而是塑膠注塑機(jī)和金屬壓鑄機(jī)之類的機(jī)器。鑄出來(lái)的合金件外表會(huì)很粗糙，要經(jīng)過(guò)打磨處理后，才能外表光華。他們發(fā)出略黑的金屬光澤，在陽(yáng)光下很好看。塑料件的加工相對(duì)容易，不需要更多的處理。

Just like real car production, car models also need to produce parts first before assembly. There are two types of materials for general parts - alloy metal and plastic. These parts are all produced using a machine called a "beer making machine" in Hong Kong, but it is not a machine for brewing beer, but rather a machine for plastic injection molding and metal die-casting. The surface of the cast alloy parts will be very rough, and they need to be polished before they can have a shiny appearance. They emit a slightly black metallic luster and look great in the sunlight. The processing of plastic parts is relatively easy and does not require further processing.

汽車(chē)模型零件的做工直接影響到整體質(zhì)量，尤其是一些能開(kāi)啟的部件，例如：車(chē)門(mén)、行李廂之類，這些零件的尺寸精度要求是很高的，否則在開(kāi)閉的時(shí)候會(huì)有松動(dòng)現(xiàn)象發(fā)生。另外金屬鍍件的光亮程度，儀表板的粘紙等也很重要。

The workmanship of car model parts directly affects the overall quality, especially for some parts that can be opened, such as car doors, luggage compartments, etc. The dimensional accuracy of these parts is required to be very high, otherwise there will be loosening when opening and closing. In addition, the brightness of the metal plated parts and the adhesive paper on the dashboard are also important.
