Hi flatcat!   :wave:

Sometimes those days off from school because of snow feel like a gift - they are a nice break from routine and a good time to just have some fun.  Good luck with your exams when school resumes!  (You must be about the same age as my 18-year-old son who is a high school senior here in the states.   :(o):  Hard to remember sometimes that I am so very very old!   :lol: )

Hi flatcat,
good luck with your exams. Thought you might like a look at 1:18 scale cars.

Those are lovely cars Emma, which reminds me that I have got some of these in the loft somewhere that I should try and dig out - and I think they are roughly the same scale too 8-)

Who are these cars made by btw ???
The red one looks like a bburago, but I may be wrong :hmm:

Just personal opinion here...
I would try going a little larger on the scale vehicles...
I kinda like them bigger and a little more open.
I am not aquanted with to scale things so I dont know if you can but 1:17 might be better.
Steck is BACK! <:>

The difference between 1:17 and 1:18 is slight and I know of no 1:17 scale vehicles.  The next scale up is 1:16 and that is too big.

Hi yes they're both bburago cars, I've not come across a 1:16th car so i'm not sure how well they would fit. I do know the 1:18th are too small if they have a roof on them but as you can see the open topped ones are great.
