Attaching few more pictures from the same event. It was indeed a great event and I hope it continues to happen in the future as well!















Thank you

That's awesome. I had no idea scale model meets were even a thing, let alone taking place in India.

Added a Welly1/24 scale Subaru Impreza WRX STi to the collection. I’m surprised it didnt come with the famous STi spoiler.

Welly indeed offers lovely scale model cars at an affordable price.

We have in Bangalore a top quality group called the Beantown Scale Model Collectors Association and they do regular meets.

Totally agree - both about the wheels as well as Welly providing us affordable models of good quality.

Good to see you on this thread again.

Got some free time over the weekend and put up the collection on a random Diorama mat I found on Amazon and made it into a Wall Art.

Was looking to gift a racing set to my son ( turning 7 ). He likes HotWheels collections, but increasingly the sets look dated. Further, I'm looking for a full racing set ( that has the racing cars, ambulances, tow trucks, the whole nine yards). I need something elaborate.

Years, I ago remember a cousin having such a set ( it was not Hotwheels, but something similar, made in Malaysia), was pretty detailed.

Any recommendations on what I can get? Also, suggestion required on a cool looking storage/crate for all the diecast cars he has.

Added this unique Kinsmart Lancer Evo to my collection of Kinsmarts. Pretty cool thing!









Thanks

Here is my updated collection of 1:64 scale.
These are a combination of hotwheels, maisto, matchbox and majorette.
The most recent ones are the duster and the ford raptor which I picked up from the Bangkok airport.


The Dacia Duster from Majorette. Decently finished with the rear opening tailgate.



The Ford F150 raptor with openable front doors.







The 2 door Jimny. Not sure of the make. But it says "made in India".






























The Nissan skyline with it's Mother.


A couple of Porsches.







Here's an over view of the entire collection. Will be adding more to it. But I want to search for the typical real world cars especially the ones sold in India. It's some other feeling to get one of those basic car models for example a Honda city or Accord or a Toyota Camry etc.
From this entire lot I feel the Majorette make Ford Raptor and Duster are the best in terms of fit and finish.
Matchbox comes second and the worst is hotwheels.

I remember matchbox used to be extremely detailed back in the day. But unfortunately all these new ones have a horrible fit and finish.

Here is my official entry to this thread. Ferrari F1-75 1:12 scale model.

Take a look at Scalextric.

They make some nice sets.
Ive got one in my collection but mine contains only a pair of racing cars.
