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!

Re: The Scale Model Thread

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

Re: The Scale Model Thread

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

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

Re: The Scale Model Thread

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.

Re: The Scale Model Thread

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.

Re: The Scale Model Thread

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 Scale Model Thread-20241022_211614.jpg
The Dacia Duster from Majorette. Decently finished with the rear opening tailgate.


The Scale Model Thread-20241022_211551.jpg
The Ford F150 raptor with openable front doors.

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.

Take a look at Scalextric.
https://uk.scalextric.com/
They make some nice sets.
Ive got one in my collection but mine contains only a pair of racing cars.
Also check this site - www.tinytown.in
