Default Scale Models

I didn't know that scale models could look so realistic. Take a look at these. I thought some looked quite real. They must take quite a bit of effort to get them looking this good.

These are the ones that still surprise me, everytime I look at them. No Porsche content, but still...

Most of that "realness" of the models comes from the setting for the shoot and the photography. Some of the manufacturers like Exoto have quite good detail, down to the brake duct tubing from the front fascia to the brake disks. Others like the Bburago in the first pic are not nearly as detailed, however much less expensive for it.

The detail of some of these models is simply amazing.
