The two Gypsies together

Beautiful photography Sandesh. Your parapet is being put to great use:-). Tempted by you I bought the Ambassador. Now I'm going to invest in the Gypsy.

Even I have this one! It’s a a pretty good model for the price. Definitely puts models costing twice as much to shame, when it comes to details and functionality. Here’s mine posing with my 1:24 Mercedes W201 (Bburago):

I remember buying a die cast premier padmini "kaali-peeli" taxi toy in the late 1980's from Madras, fairly accurate model, my brother bought a red series II or II land rover and the bonnet could open, always envied his model over mine...

In the early 90's from New Delhi, most probably CP, I bought a Maruti Gypsy and a omni toy, again good quality but plastic.

I DO NOT recollect the brands but yes things indeed were available.

Great looking models. If I were to knit pick, tyres appear excessively jutting out.
BTW, Where did you get Maruti decals from?

Thank you Sir. Credit goes to the excellent models - they make the photographs look good .

The Gypsy comes with waterslide decals similar to the ones that we get on some HM aircraft models - which we had discussed in the Aircraft Scale models thread. Applying them can be tricky.

Holi turned out to be the perfect day to add some color to my 1:18 911 collection. All other models so far have been silver (my favorite combo) but decided to experiment this time around. 1:18 Turbo S by Minichamps

For some reason, I only removed the model from the case now. The 550 Spyder in all its detail.

Made a wall hanging out of a totalled Range Rover:


I had a 1:14 Black Range Rover Sport. It was an RC car and was pretty well detailed. However, a long time ago, I had left it in my driveway unattended, during which time, it got run over by my car.

The rear end was obliterated beyond repair. I had just thrown it away into my storeroom and forgotten about it. However, this extended Holi weekend, I was getting bored, so decided to do something interesting with it. Grabbed a hacksaw knife and an orange rattle can and got to work. Cut the damaged rear end out and painted the relatively intact front half into a dual tone orange-black combo. Used a shopping bag string to hang it on the wall. This is how I made a Range Rover wall hanging:

Beautiful idea superimposing the cars onto the line maps of the race tracks. Lovely frames too.

I didn't realize that i such a big Porsche fan till i went back and looked at the pics of my Porsche scale models. Thought this would be a good moment to document it, so doing just that.
As our house is being re-done, my entire collection is currently packed and these mostly old pics of the models. I plan to create a proper display for my beloved 1:18s once the house is done.

The theme for the 911s has always been silver (5 models and counting) and more often than note, even on the configurator i end up with a silver Porsche. The yellow and blue ones are a recent addition and there is an absolutely gorgeous purple one on order.

The 918 is also silver and is a part of my modern holy trinity collection and is made by Minichamps
