Model Making in Transition
Two three-wheeled model cargo tricycles against a white background: on the left a grey open Piaggio Ape flatbed vehicle, on the right a white and blue delivery vehicle with closed box body and advertising lettering.
“My Model”
Wall-filling shelf with a colourful mix of model cars in individual compartments, including two larger display cases featuring a historic car model and a white sports car model.
Who Actually Collects?
Collage of several scenes: children, teenagers, a young woman and an older man sit in warmly lit rooms and occupy themselves with model vehicles – they build, paint and drive small cars and bicycles; in the background, shelves with more model cars can be seen.
Sealed or Unboxed?
Three model cars against a white background: on the left a cream-colored Simca 5 from 1936 in its cardboard packaging, on the right a two-tone BMW 503 in a transparent display case, in the foreground a beige, visibly played-with Mercedes taxi without packaging.
Material Matters
Four different miniature cars side by side against a white background: on the left a blue plastic car in the style of a beetle, next to it a larger transparent beetle model made of glass or acrylic, on the right a green detailed convertible model car and on the far right a simple, red car symbol made of wood.
Miniatures, Millions and Market Forces
A simple green wooden toy car with red wheels stands in front of a detailed blue vintage-style model racing car, both set against a white background to highlight the contrast between a simple toy model and an intricate collector’s model.
Diorama
Top view of a street diorama: A red model car stands at the side of the road in front of a house with a red roof, next to it a sidewalk with trees and several small figures walking on the pavement.
Citroën DS 19
Hunt House Car
Silver model of a streamlined “Hunt House Car” motorhome against a white background, with a rounded egg shape, large curved windscreens, side windows and fine body details.
Classic Model Cars
Four model vehicles against a white background: on the left a red Ferrari sports car, in front of it a mint green Vespa, next to it a small light blue VW Beetle model and on the right a green and white VW bus in a camping conversion, as a comparison of different classics.
Between Toy Size and Display Case Format
A child's hand holds a shiny, blue miniature car in the classic small car shape.
Scale
Different colored VW Beetle model cars in ever larger scales, arranged sideways one behind the other.

Model Vehicle Types
Several different model vehicles against a white background: on the left, a green Einbecker lorry, with a blue Beetle toy car and a small green wooden car in front of it; in the centre, a large tin figure riding a motor scooter; on the right, a yellow motorcyclist and a detailed blue racing car model.
MODEL VEHICLES Collection
An orange-beige model of a BMW Isetta stands on the hall floor; in the blurred background several larger historic microcars can be seen, including a blue BMW Isetta.
