Who is the "Hot Toys" of model cars?

[Jerichoholic]

Basically, what model car company is top dog in terms of level of detail and quality?

Autoart is the 'Hot Toys of model cars'

Amalgam is something else entirely!

Yeah, I've seen some stuff by Autoart and it's very impressive.

Hot Wheels Elite series has some good movie vehicles

Depending on scale, in 1/24 The Danbury Mint and The Franklin Mint are the best. CMC and GMP also have made some outstanding models. The 1/24 is referred to as precision diecast, all metal with photo etching, extreme detail with factory correct stickers on the trunk lid, hoses, air cleaner, etc. Check them out at diecast.org or jsssoftware.com

Her are a few of my cars:

That's a great collection there, very nice. Top shelf with the muscle cars and the airstream are pretty cool.

 

[Jerichoholic]

Very nice collection, greatlakes. Thanks for the info, as well. I'll check them out.

At one time, I had about 90 or so of these cars/trucks. I slimmed it down a bit to around 50. I love the Airstream. The top comes off, the canopy opens and closes, the stairs go up and down, the interior is complete with all working accessories including a fridge that opens and closes.

The Autoart Mad Max 2 Interceptor muddy variant sits on my shelf and it's awesome.

I'd instant buy a 1:6 Hot Toys one though

There were rumours of an Autoart Mad Max Interceptor going around a year ago, but it's been pretty quiet since then

 

[DPmaster]

Definitely Autoart

Autoart has some great things, I'd love to see more 60's American stuff done to their lvl of detail. They have a '58 Vette that looks great and their Z cars are nice. If they did a Datsun 620 I'd have to get it. I used to have some Ertl 1:18 pieces that are now long gone but I really liked them.



I did find this '70 Plymouth RR Pork Chop.
My first Plymouth was a '70 RR (383), I almost feel I need to get this,

Autoart makes some really nice diecast car models. I don't have a lot, but the ones I have I'm very happy with. (The SAAB 900 is made by Ottomobile).

 

[Lejuan]

The SAAB 900 was a sexy car in its day.

autoart is the hot toys of model cars but i like what model car group and BOS are doing with their recent releases of 80's classic american cars.
