Model Cars Database

This is a website, where diecast model cars in a 1:18 and 1:43 scale are presented. Here the models can be looked at with the help of 360° rotation view, compared to each other and to the real cars, arranged in virtual collections, purchased and sold, photos and opinion of them can be seen and shared.


Objectives

The goal is to create a web platform where all about the model cars can be found in one place. Its purpose is to help choosing among the different models by showing and describing them as good as possible. Also to offer ideas for collections and help organize them by categorizing the models by manufacturers, makes, series, history, themes and model details.


Data Standards

Every entry in our database is cross-referenced for accuracy. Technical specifications (Engine, Power, Torque, and Dimensions) are sourced from original manufacturer archives and historical automotive records. The scale model directory is updated daily to include releases from premium manufacturers like Minichamps, Autoart, and Spark, ensuring collectors have access to the most accurate 'Make-to-Model' mapping available.


Where are the photos from?

For the purpose of taking the photos it is used a simple robot, which in combination with a camera and photo studio enables automatic photo capture of models in 20 positions. Then the photos undergo a digital processing, which cleans the background and improves image quality. Finally, through appropriate Javascript-function is obtained 360° rotation, which is visible on the site.
