I know some folks on a diecast website that I belong to that also have some excellent photography skills, so I thought that I'd share some shots taken by one of those gentlemen of a very nicely detailed Ramchargers 1964 Dodge 330 sedan race car replica which I also have in my 1/18th scale diecast collection.

Those 1.18th scale are about the only Hemi cars I could afford!

The 1967 Coronets are also very nice aren't they Zoran? I'd love to see your diecast shots once the weather gets nicer outside in your area! Folks don't realise how challenging as well as fun it is to shoot these models! Those with skills can make it difficult to tell if it's a real car or a model!

Here's another fantastic 1964 Dodge 330 shot by the same gentleman along with a few others to showcase this model. I also have this beauty in my collection!

A shot taken by my friends at Supercar Collectibles showing the beautifullty detailed engine compartment of this model.



.....and a shot that I took of my car back in 2004 with a non digital camera to show the car in it's display box.

That is an awesome model..Good photography too. So much detail on that brand of model. I am going to have to check them out.

I have to say I paid way over what I should have for that turbine bronze model. I need to take new shots because I made it look like my 500 model, even though the model is an R/T like in the first photo I posted. But I could not pass up having the right color and the right wheels.

I made water transfer decals and recreated the side trim on my car. Then blacked out the grill to match mine as well.

Hello Zoran,

I have absolutely no doubt that with your computer and photography skills, you could produce some excellent diecast model photos!

Regarding the two 1964 Dodge 330 sedans shown above, the Ramchargers Super Stock model was released back in 2003 and the Red "Little Old Lady From Pasadena" Super Stock model was released back in 2004, so if you would like to add either one of these cars to your collection, you will most likely have to find them on Ebay or other local sources. Most of these 1/18th scale models have increased in value over the years and the Highway 61 models have doubled or even tripled in price from their original selling price, so like our real cars, these 1/18th scale models increase in value over time as well!

Ok, so this isn't a Mopar diecast, but it's still an excellent photo shoot that highlights all of the detailing on a beautiful 1/18th scale 1966 Shelby GT 350 Mustang fastback done by my same friend that shot the two 1964 Dodge 330 Super Stock cars shown above in this thread. Shooting up close shots of models like shown below are not as easy as one might think. It takes a good camera, a tripod, good lighting and a lot of practice!

I have most of the various issues done in this Shelby series including the car featured below and they are very nice indeed!
