My small collection of die-cast scale models
Porsche 911 GT2
Porsche Carrera GT
Audi A2
Honda CBR 1000
Ducati Monstor
Harley Davidson FLSTCI SOFTAIL

I started collecting look-alike models when i was in 4th standard (not real scale-models). i got small collection some others are in really bad shape so not posting any way even though are small i bought them because small is cute. i buy these models based on 3 factors 1. resemblance to the original in body, 2, good headlight and tail lamps, 3, tyre. that's why i was able to get only very few. now-a-days maisto, matchbox etc are not interested in making the detailed toys.

Sorry for the low-quality photos i did not use flash as the brightness was too bad on close-up.

Thank you i bought it from ebay. the models available locally are priced too high and that of cars are too big size. i have found only one reliable shop (cost-effective also) in my hometown. Do you guys remember when a news came out saying that Chinese toys have toxic paints in them? we the shop owner is so good that, he returned all the Chinese toys at that time and never sold one till date. He actually hand-picks toys. He is very dedicated in his profession.

Thanks, Kannan. Jeep is very nice..

Thank you Varun. i am planning to get a scale model sooner or later.
btw the alternator job is really great. waiting for more DIY from you

Nice scale model. That made me recall of a similar toy model of Wagon-R which was gifted by the dealership when we bought the Maruti 800.

I dont remember the shop name.
And there was a wagonR too,but that was not very much detailed.
The only thing that resembled the original car was its name 'wagonR'(written on the cover).

Cheers,

I searched a lot but found only the non-indian wagonr, made by Fujimi etc. not the good old Indian Model. i was very much inspired by this maybe after a few years if only if i can get a lot of help i may try something like that. not that much professional!

 

[ACMohan]

I'll check if I can find the right car for you.
This was the thing which I saw at that shop.
