The next version of the application of 3d printing, in miniature. Collecting cars on a scale of 1: 18. Not to be confused with toys and car modeling, despite the similarity of genres.
The market for 3d virtual models is currently much wider than the market for large-scale figures that can be purchased in online stores. With the development of 3D printing, the availability of new thematic 3d models of people on various paid and free resources is growing exponentially. Of course, a collector's car doesn’t have a printout, since there are options for $ 1000, in metal and with many moving parts, where the manufacturer and circulation are more important, which with age only increases the cost of the exhibit, which cannot be said about the entourage.
The specificity of the entourage of objects on this scale most often excludes the possibility of creating dioramas, since they will occupy a decent place, not giving the opportunity to grow collections on the shelves. Personally, I have friends with hundreds of cars in my personal collections. Well, apparently because of constrained circumstances, it turned out that the exposition is enhanced by thematic figures, and not by the details of the surrounding landscape.
The question arises: why do collectors in general need any kind of entourage? Likely for the same, why coin collectors buy big beautiful albums, but do not store coins in a box. It is much more pleasant to watch the next coveted model in a beautiful “wrapper”. And, by the way, with regard to cars - a miniature person very well emphasizes the scale of the model, because the relationship with the human figure helps to feel the magnitude of everything in general, not represented in full size.
