benbsb29 wounderful experiment,guessing you used filter?This Nissan GTR from Maisto is really a sharp pencil tip 1:24 from them at that price range.Have you noticed the rims have the air valve nipples too?

I must say the GTR is of a much better standard than other recent Maistos.

As for the photography, i havent used any filters (dont have such equipment). This was done using a P&S camera, along with an LED torch and then some surfaces for diffused lighting.

Thanks for the comments.

I like classics too: beautiful shapes. All Minichamps, 1:43 scale. Liked your Karmann, nice detailing, especially the surfboard!
Also @RPM: Your Exoto is brilliant! Fantastic detail. Would love to get one myself. The trucks in my line-up are all Minichamps, 1:43 scale.
Here they are in more detail:

Dude I am envious of your superb collection, and now since you have told me the source, I will check out to get some thing exotic on my next visit :D.

Finally after wanting one for so long, my 1:18 Autoart W124 Mercedes Benz E Class (E320) is finally in my hands. :Cheering: The detailing on the car is mindblowing to say the least. Pictures should come soon.

A big big Thank You to Rudra for sourcing the car for me. Thanks again pal. :)

Hi Hanmust, thanks. The 1950s German trucks are really nicely designed, so I decided to look beyond Mercedes to Buessing, Magirus-Deutz, Kruepp etc. I buy my models from a shop in Singapore. They frequently have discounts, including up to 50 per cent off sticker price!
And thanks, all, for appreciating my collection (I haven't quite got the hang of multi-quoting yet).
Now here is a Schuco 1:87 scale Mercedes-Benz bus (Deutsche Bahn):

And after seeing Dussey's beautiful Karmann, I just have to post my own Karmann Cabriolet:

Rudra da, even i noticed it - the focus seems to be on the keyboard and desk phone. i will post better pics by tonight.

a bit OT: @ Rudra da - it has been a long time since we met - are you planning to come to Kolkata anytime soon?

Some time end November for a few days for sure. How many models you've collected so far?
