The Scale Model Thread

Shantanu Borate · 14th May 2009, 12:09

Hi

I am new to Team-BHP and I am very impressed with this thread. I am passionate about scale models and also loves to make scratch built models. There are few models in my collection.

Hi Shantanu, nice diorama.

The second picture, is that a Toyoda (now toyota) type AA? If you dont mind me asking, what scale is it, who makes it & where could I get one?

Kind regards

Aditya

The Belair is spoiling the lawn.

Awesome Toyoda, can you pop the hood, the doors, etc and take some pics. The detailing seems to be quite good.

Cyrus43 · 14th May 2009, 17:16

@Shantanu, Are you an architect? Coz a friend of mine had projects in architecture, and he used to make elaborate bungalows and houses ouf of thermocol and other materials.

Hi

Sad part is hood, doors can not be open. The model is of smaller scale.

I dont think the doors, bonnet etc. open. This looks like a curbside model.

No, I am not an architect. Building scale models is my hobby and I am extremely passionate about it. I have built models like luxury yacht, container ship, bunglow, buildings, home interior etc.

But unfortunately I don't get much time to build the models.

Regards,

Shantanu
