Sad to see very few additions to this thread in the last couple of months. Guess the Rupee-$ screw-up is affecting import plans for all  | ||||

You want to call my models toys, fine by me. Any kids touch my models/toy they are in for it. A kid of say 8 years of age, buys a model car he will call it a toy. I buy that very same model it become a treasured possession. Worthy of elaborate macro photography and long texts on this forum as to what is so special. The price is totally and utterly irrelevant. I like my models and I like looking at what others like. I only wished I had toys like these when I was a little boy. I'm 54 years old, so I'll damn well buy any model I wish/can afford. And I call them models, because I'm 54 and not 8 any more. Jeroen Last edited by n_aditya : 1st August 2013 at 14:17. Reason: edited out the last line in your post as it could spark an argument. | |

Actually, the two model cars I posted are maybe not that special, but you'd be hard pressed to find these models in the colours I purchased. I posted a few weeks a thread about my visit to Techno Classica in Essen Germany. Absolute mekka for classic car fanatics and car model enthusiast. Tried to get two more of my models. There must have been literally tens of thousands of models, but nobody had the one I had. So I consider them rare now! Jeroen Note from Support - Post edited.

| Re: The Scale Model Thread I hope this qualifies to be in this thread. Dear mods, please move it to appropriate section if it does not belong here. I've been thinking for a very very long time whether to put it up here or not. However, finally here it is. I had made my first scale model in 2006 and frankly it was something that I stumbled upon by chance. Browsing through the web, I came across this concept where you could print a vehicle on paper and then cut it and make sub assemblies and finally the main assembly. It seemed very interesting and I took it up as something that would keep me occupied for a while. I spent close to 2 months, with about 3 hours daily, every evening after returning from office. With the lack of proper handling tools some parts became even more difficult to make. All in all, the model consists of about 180 individual pieces, put together in sub assemblies and then the final assembly. Since I was relatively younger then and never had a camera until much later, I only have the pics of the final product and not those in between. I will let the pics do the talking. Model : Yamaha R1 Dimensions: 14" x 3" x 5" Made of: A4 Paper (normal print grade) Tools used: Canon Printer, Glue, Spoon (to make creases), Bottle Cap, Blade & Scissors         Much later after 7 years (this year) I decided to try my hands on a Mini Cooper Countryman S (Tamiya Kit). I'll post that separately with more details and a bit of tough luck that i ran into. |
