Title: Modern cars from 4D Modelshop

Worth keeping an eye on these for when they are released in 1/150 scale. The masters will be 3D printed, then fettled and prepared for making a mould for resin or metal casting.

Seems like a serious step up from the white metal blob, although the painting and detailing will always make or break even a good shape.

^That's their old set of cars, all pre 21st century, also available as 'Graham Avis Detail. A fine range for the '90s. Unfortunately, some are seriously under scale, the new Beetle and Porsche 928 not even 1:160. The Range Rover and people carrier are fine, but I wanted a good 928! I certainly hope that their long and meticulous scaling process would prevent any such faults in this new batch.

BTW, the facebook user who made the enquiry, then tried to identity the cars; that was me.
