Photo your Diecast like a Pro!

Photo your Diecast like a Pro!

Diecast models are all about scale realism—capturing the look of a full-size vehicle authentically in scale is an art. It is not unlike capturing a photo, which is why diecast lends itself so well to photography. That—and the proliferation of relatively high-quality digital cameras—is why so many collectors are moved to document their collections in […]
AutoWorld B-bodies

AutoWorld B-bodies

In 1968 Chrysler Corporation was riding a Hemi-powered wave of success. King Richard had just driven his Petty-blue Plymouth to his second NASCAR championship the previous season, and Mopars were the toast (or terror, depending on what you drove!) of stock-class drag racing all across the country. On the street Chrysler redesigned its sales-leading B-Body […]

Vanquish — Kyosho’s superior (ad)Vantage

Aston Martin looks to vanquish all competitors in the premium luxury grand touring segment with the 2015 Vanquish. Aston revives the ‘Vanquish’ name for its new flagship model, and with 568hp from its 6.0L V12 yielding a top speed of 201mph, it is by far the most potent street car Aston has ever built. Its […]

Proto-Pony: Automodello’s 1962 Ford Mustang I Puts History on the Hoof

Proto-Pony: Automodello’s 1962 Ford Mustang I Puts History on the Hoof

The question one has to ask oneself regarding Automodello isn’t so much why they make the models that they do, but where they get the nerve to take on some of the way-off-the-ranch subjects that they make. No, we’re not complaining. Actually, we’re damned impressed by this maker, and we have been from day one. […]
Bburago Fiat 500s: Say it in Italian

Bburago Fiat 500s: Say it in Italian

It’s more than a little amusing to us that among the four Bburago Fiat 500s that arrived here for review, two were Abarths. Because nobody here can actually agree on how to pronounce “Bburago”. Or “Abarth”. That doesn’t matter. What really counts is that the funny, double-B name is appearing yet again on low-buck, high-giggle […]
