@vivek, those treadmill shots are super cool. never seen that kind before.

In the meanwhile, I just realized I've got the same M1N1 too!! also realized I've got the same Porsche also. !! thats a lot of coincidence for the day eh.

I got the porsche as a gift from Overdrive magazine for the subscription. is that how you got yours?

My First Scale Model

Got the GTR and A8 on the treadmill for some tracking shots. Hope you like them.

The Nissan GTR 1:24. Could have added a back ground, but decided against it.

The Audi A8.

WOW! these are real professional photos! It's a novel idea for me! Great!

This is addictive, now i need to budget for this every month to fill my wish list. I walked into this place modelart - ..:: Modelartindia.com ::.. at Select City Walk. Boy I was like a kid at a candy bar.

Ahh..Seems like everyone is picking up a GTR!! :D

What else did model art have ??

Excellent stuff Vivek. I especially like your treadmill shots. Nice idea. Next time put some white or yellow tape to get that realistic road feel.

Thanks Rudra. I thought about having the stripes but the problem I faced was the car weaving from side to side and hitting the edges. I had to make corrections in between shots just to make them stay in the centre line. These 1:24s do come with steering that never points straight.

My 1:18 collection is not that great. Just the four models (Gallardo, Murcielago, H2 and RR sport) It's not easy getting these 1:18 models and I have a huge parking problem.

I made the guess your camera is not Canon from absence of Cannon's signature green-blue colour.But definitely that does neither show your effort nor skill less.

Very nice and unique idea of shooting on a running treadmill.You can try such shot with any Red Ferrari model (now or in future);because the logo on the rim will create a nice effect.

100/100 for your diecast photography from my side.

Thanks buddy. I was looking for an F430 coupe/spyder for sometime. Red calipers would look super hot in action, won't they?

Thanks mate. We have the same M1N1 and the 993 Porsche .WoW.

Yes, I too got mine from Overdrive subscription and is my first 1:24 scale model. It was my grandfather''s gift, that subscription.

Thanks Hani.

@ritayan,

Your white GTR looks great. Welcome to the club.

Thanks for the welcome everyone, They didn’t have anything more exiting apart from the GtR in this price range. I am in Bangalore this week and will have a look at their outlet in forum for something more exiting. Any other places in Bangalore which stock a good collection.

Awww man I soooo envy you!!! Bangalore has a GREAT collection. Is there any way you can stop by bombay too?? Then maybe you can pick something up for me in bangalore and give it to me in bombay!! :D:D

Awesome Collection.
GReat 1:18 models.
I really want that red Range Rover.
I am Mad about the range Rovers.
Great pics.

I am really desperate to post my small collection here, but not getting time to
click the pictures.

These are quite amazing pics which have been posted around here in this thread.

phenomenal idea to shoot these cars on a treadmill!! creates an amazingly life-like impression of movement and dynamism in the images!
excellent result too.:)

What you have my friend seems to be QUALITY, not Quantity!
That Bentley looks wonderful - the choice of BRG for the colour seems rather apt! I wish I could get one too!:)

well, I don't really have a huge collection although I'd love to have a big collection. But I'm particularly proud of a few that I have. Especially my 1:43 Bentley Arnage R. My brother used to work for bentley and while returning, he picked this up from the factory. The detailing is pretty awesome. photos don't do justice.
