Starwars Razor Quest

 My son made this 3 D Razor Quest at scale 1:18 and gave it to me as a present.

VW Brasilia

 

Comprei este brinquedo usado de um VW Brasilia por R$ 3. Trata-se de um brinquedo simples de PVC da empresa Paulista Orange Toys. Pelas medidas, ele tem aproximadamente a escala 1:19. Tirei os pneus e a peça escura com as janelas. Coloquei rodas de um outro modelo, o painel com volante e as poltronas dianteiras de um Porsche 1961 da Burago e montei uma poltrona traseira de madeira pintada, tudo colado em cima de um pedaço de papelão forte pintado de preto.  

I bought the used toy of a VW Brasilia for R$ 3 (ca. US$ 0,60). It is a very simple toy car made of PVC by the Brazilian toy company Orange Toys. The measures represent a scale of approximately 1:19. I eliminated the wheels and the plastic windows. Then I assembled wheels of another car model as well as the panel with steering wheel and front seats of a Burago Porsche 1961. The back seats are made of painted wood, all glued on a black painted piece of strong cardboard.  

Mattel Jurassic World Gyrosphere Blaster

This is my customized Jurassic World Gyrosphere Blaster, sold by Mattel in 2018. All added parts are removable. The engine is from a Burago Ferrari F40 as are the seats.

King Kong diorama at scale 1:18

 

As usual also this King Kong diorama at scale 1:18 is 5 meters wide, between 50 and 80 cm deep and 70 cm high. It includes a 25 cm large King Kong, ca. 60 human figures and a diversity of animals, some of them a little bit strange. The palisades of the village are 25 cm high on the left side and 17 cm high on the right side. The entrances are ca. 5 cm higher. The roofs of the huts are made of pine tree needles and the wall of Japanese bamboo pads. The human figures are mainly composed by the series Tarzan (Trendmasters 1995), Atlantis (Mattel 2000), Indiana Jones (Hasbro 2008) and Wild Quest (Chap Mei 2008-2012). The vehicles are a Harley Davidson Indian Chief (Maisto), the Jeep of the Indiana Jones series, UT model of the Jeep Willy’s with a scratch-built trailer, a modified 1953 Chevrolet pickup (Mira) as well as a 1953 Ford F 100 pickup from Maisto. Die hills are made of Styrofoam packing materials. The palm trees are made of branches of trees from our garden and artificial fern.

Here an addition I have made: a hill of the snakes:

Hier eine weitere Aktualisierung des Dioramas: Ich habe auf der rechten Seite einen Berg mit Tunnel hinzugefuegt und hierfuer den Standort eines anderes Berges und einiger Palmen etwas geaendert.
