Thank you very much.
The Bentley Bentayga and BMW 760Li are 1:32 scale models and are from AliExpress. Chinese branded.

Meanwhile, I had always wanted to own the car that Sting rides in the Desert Rose video song.
Finally was able to lay hands on the awesome 1999 Jaguar S Type !
This is a 1:18 scale model from Maisto, purchased from EBay.

anu007, First class collection and I must say you have a skill in photography. The way you have positioned the models against the background make it look very real. The motorbikes are superbly detailed and I have fallen in love with the Chevy Fleetmaster & Jeep Wrangler. Congratulations.

Thank you sir. Appreciation from veterans like you really means a lot to me.
I have been collecting models since around 1998 and now the collection is at around 300. My sources are limited being in Assam and I mostly rely on Amazon, Flipkart and Firstcry.


But I never thought that I would be able to share this with a greater coommunity. Thanks to TBHP and Dippy sir for the thread.

Thanks to e-commerce your access in Tezpur is as good as anyone in Mumbai or Dubai. e-Commerce, mobile devices and on-line payment systems have been a great equalizer. Your creativity with your photos and positioning bring a smile to the face. :-)

A boy never gets tired of model collection like a lady never tires of buying shoes. My oldest surviving model came in 1966. Opel Diplomat.

"Priceless collection" indeed, and deservedly so! All cars with a high desirability quotient - the Bugatti type 55 did have some examples with bodywork designed by outside coach-builders, but this one - the type 55 roadster without doors - was designed in-house by Jean Bugatti, the maestro's son, who became more or less a recluse in 1939, after a major road crash in a type 57c (http://defyntheknown.blogspot.com/)
