growing your collection

The beauty of being a collector of diecast models is that each persons collection is unique. your collection is a reflection of your car hobby and passion, perhaps you are into muscle cars, exotics, trucks, pre-war models, tractors or maybe a mix of everything? It doesn’t matter if you are a kid or an adult collecting car models. Our commitment at WHEELSINMOTIONDERBY is to have something for every collection and add new products ona weekly basis. Soon we are hoping to expand the website with a community section where collectors can meet likeminded and share their thoughts and ideas on this wonderful hobby. Once you start growing your collection, it’s a good to display your models in a safe and clean way. We recommend Display Cases as these not only enhance the look of the models, but they also keeps the dust away.

paint finish

Paint is perhaps the the first thing we notice when we look at a diecast model for the first time. For this reason, it’s one of the most important parts of a high quality 1/18 replica. High end models use multiple pay layers in order to provide the depth and richness of the colour. After this is archived, it’s equally important to using the correct polishing technique to maximise the shine of the painted model. A great example is the Mercedes – ONE here which you can clearly see the depth of the color as well quality finish of the polished carbon fibre details. A true masterpiece by Almost Real. To summarise, the paint finish of a diecast car plays a large role when determining the overall quality of the model.
