Diecast Collector’s Obsession with Early Corvettes
Good things come in small packages – or at least, that’s what they do when it comes to scale model cars. Salt Lake City's Branson Evans took his passion for cars to a whole new level by downsizing them. We last interviewed Branson last year to discuss a scaled-down version of my father's 1968 Nova. Since then, he has expanded his extensive personal collection of die-cast model cars, specifically 1953-62 Chevrolet Corvettes. His cars range in size from subcompacts to the 28-inch limited edition 1/6 scale 1957 model built on Route 61. Entering Branson’s diecast collection is an immersive experience in automotive history.

Miniature artist creates 1/43 scale car dealership
you've heard On YouTube's Collecting Corner, diecast enthusiast Jared Costello discusses the ins and outs of the scale model car hobby. But where else would one want to "park" these scale models, other than on a general display shelf on the wall or in a curio cabinet? This was the thought process that led me to pursue a special project to commission a custom die-cast diorama. David Miniatures makes a living making scale models. He's done it for Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hasbro, and even A-listers. David sometimes gets compliments from actors on TV or movie scenes that he recreates. That's what happened when he made a scale model of Michael Scott's office based on The Office. David's work is catching on and he now has over 330,000 followers on Instagram viewing his latest work. background In 2023, I first contacted David via Instagram to ask if he would be interested in building a scale model Acura dealership for me.

Although they existed millions of years ago, today they are almost like mythical creatures from blockbuster movies. Therefore, it is no surprise that the Sinclair Dino Dino has become an American icon. In 1930, the creative minds at Sinclair Oil Company had a light bulb moment - why not use dinosaurs to market their products? These products were made from crude oil from when dinosaurs roamed the Earth. Sinclair introduced a whole host of dinosaurs, but the most notable was the adorable, long-necked Apatosaurus. This gentle giant found his way into the hearts of Americans and became the centerpiece of all of Sinclair's advertising. It was so popular that Sinclair trademarked it in 1932.
