label jigs

Post by MOKOSEX »

My son loaded my photo bucket pics onto my computer which made it easier to browse,(photo bucket kept crashing) anyway i put the mod rod jig pic on the number casting show because i thought it was related but different ,and ghosty asked for some more pics of jigs
I have three more jigs,one i think is for a blue pick up ,the others i didn,t manage to identify,hopefully someone will id the label.I still have these jigs but no idea where i put them.

Thank's "MOKOSEX" for these, great stuff and now of course very rare since the demise of the original Lesney manufacturing facilities. Yes, we will have fun identifying what models went with them!

The last one is for the Pontiac, I also have one of these, took me ages to identify as mine had no labels.

Could the first one be for a bus body (long and thin), the two holes being for the rivet posts?

Here is an example of 'TAMPO' Printing a really soft rubber pad (directly above the models), has the design resting on the underside surface and the pads simply come down onto the models like rows of 'Ink Blotters' gently touching the models and transfereing the wet paint to the model.

Not sure what the model is, looks like they have totally black glazing so could a 'Super GT' model.
