I am also on the same boat as you, Shankar Sir. I am experimenting with what is available at home these days. Here is how I took the photo of the model.

Welcome to what is probably my latest favourite scale model! The Range Rover in 1/18 scale. Pics clicked straight after unboxing. More coming soon.

Latest purchases -

Ford F150 Lightning






Nissan Hardbody D21





Nissan Patrol Y60 Custom





Toyota 4Runner








Lastly, just something for fun since they are out of the packaging. Quite slow for something named Lightning!

Two little Fellas. Came in when I was away.
Mercedes Old and New. One by Schuco - the Classic 180D and one by Mini GT the evergreen 190E. Both in 1:64.

Added one more Land Rover to my collection, this time the Discovery 5, in 1:24 scale.

Some quick pics:

An Inexpensive Jeepy thing.

Can pass for a Jeep YJ or TJ or Mahindra 540 or early Thar. Lightweight but still says diecast and all.

I just saw it on Amazon and bought it.
Maybe I will mount it in my Thar. Or maybe I ll just place it in the car cupboard.

If it wasn't too expensive, certainly worth it. I love scale models and feel something is better than not having one at all.

On mounting it in your car, wouldn't the model get ruined after some time/years with the exposure to the sun? Especially the plastic parts. Happened to me once as a child when I had a Ferrari Testarossa scale model sitting on our car's dash which got ruined by the sun/heat.

Added one more to my Land Rover collection. This time its the Defender in the blacked out version, in 1/24 scale from Bburago.















I'll need to do a photoshoot with my lineup of Land Rovers.

This is cool. Now I know why you love the design language of the previous Gen RR.

On this topic, if BHPians can suggest any sources to get discontinued models from Centy such as their Omni / Omni High roof, 800, Gypsy, Zen, Esteem, Mahindra MM540 etc made out of resin materials. There are face-book groups however, people offer insane prices for them

Beautiful model!

Carry them with you on one of your excursions, and capture them in their natural habitat!

I have got a display done for my 1:18 car models at my new place, the older display also has got some space at the new place and is dedicated to Bike models now.

And latest addition to my 1:18 Car Collection, G-Wagon in an absolute smashing spec.

Thank you. I’ll try that sometime. Meanwhile, tried something local for now.

I had a Brabus join my collection in 1:24 scale. Shall post some pics soon.

[benbsb29]

I realised my collection has become quite SUV centric these days. Here’s a quick peek at part of the collection, which doesn’t include those in a smaller scale. These are in 1:24 scale with the Range Rover being the sole representative in 1:18 scale.
