No, after the release of "Car Model Boss", the sixth episode of "Little Star Comes to the Car", many friends became interested in car models and envied our car model boss. Therefore, Weird Jun invited the car model tycoon "Barry" to continue his unknown car model collection tour!

After "Little Star Comes to the Car", Weird Jun once again interviewed the car model circle and gradually became the brother of online celebrity Barry. Listen to his story. Why do you say, "What's the difference between car fans not playing with car models and salted fish?"?

Barry's brother privately collected hundreds of car models, and his collection career began when he was a student. The shopkeepers of several major car model shops in Shanghai all know Barigo, which shows that he is also a celebrity in the car model circle.

As a student, Barrigo was exposed to Japanese car comics "Initial D" and "Midnight on the Gulf Coast". Presumably, these two cartoons have made many boys who love cars like the car culture of JDM (Japanese refit market), and Barrigo is no exception. The Barry brothers gradually fell in love with Japanese performance cars. He drove his first car in middle school ... Model: Nissan GTR? R35 is a fully open model of118 alloy material produced by AutoArt brand.

Barry Brothers' first model car.

Speaking of this, friends who have never been exposed to car models will be at a loss about the above four information: car brand, car proportion, car material and car form.

First of all, talk about the car model brand. In the sixth issue of "Little Star Comes to the Car", we can see that the car brands collected by Brother Barry mainly come from Alto, which is a famous car brand from Germany with high recovery and playability, and is also well received by car model players. If the image is a little better, Alto is the Mercedes-Benz in the car model industry, belonging to a luxury brand but not a luxury brand.

What is a luxury brand? It must be CMC, BBR and the makeup with higher price and extreme workmanship. The price of these three models is more than 2-3 times that of other models in the same proportion, and the pipeline as thin as the engine compartment should be restored.

Exquisite CMC brand car engine compartment details, comparable to real cars.

Next is the scale of complex model. The following figure shows eight scales from112 to 1/64 * *. In fact, the proportion of car models is far more than these. There are also 1/8 large car models and 1/72 small car models.

Only with the change of car model demand market, car brands are more willing to introduce three mainstream proportions:118, 1/43, 1/64. Barigo mainly collects the proportions of118 and 1/64, which are the largest consumer groups. The former has the highest degree of detail reduction, while the latter is cheap and can be played with scenes.

Because 1/43 car model takes up less space than118 and can restore more details than 1/64, the proportion of 1/43 is mostly static ornamental resin model. Therefore, the ratio of 1/43 also has many loyal fans.

Finally, the material and form of the model. At present, there are three kinds of civil automobile models on the market: alloy, resin and engineering plastic. The three materials have their own advantages and disadvantages, but Barry prefers alloy materials with tactile sensation and sufficient weight. However, due to the increasing production cost of alloy materials, car manufacturers like Alto have turned to engineering plastic car models.

Left alloy material, right engineering plastic material, paint alloy is better.

Do engineering plastics have to be poor? Not exactly, because engineering plastics can avoid the eruption of alloy materials in wet environment, but the reduction degree of car paint is not as good as alloy, and the car model looks more like children's toys.

But in the field of high-end car models, resin car models are on the rise. The resin material can restore the details of the real car to the greatest extent, even better than the alloy. The resin car model is more diversified in car paint presentation and body drawing. It's just that the resin car model is expensive, so it is also called "high-end resin" in the car model circle.

The 1/43 high-end resin car model produced by make-up adopts a rare all-carbon bonding process.

What does Barry mean by "all open"? As the name implies, it means that the door, engine cover and tailgate cover can be opened, and the wheels can also rotate and turn, so as to restore the movable parts of the real car as much as possible. There will be "fully open" and "fully closed", which is often called "turtle car" in the car model circle. The "turtle car" adopts a fully enclosed body, and the wheels can't rotate, so it can only be watched statically.

You will definitely say: Of course, it is best to fully open the car model, the door can't be opened, and the wheels can't be called car models. No? No? No ..... the turtle car will have an audience only if it is the ultimate. For example, the main product of the Italian car model brand BBR is the "turtle car" with closed body, which has excellent real car restoration and has become a world-renowned high-end car model brand.

Italian BBR brand "Turtle Car" is not simple.

This is the end of the car model knowledge training. For the rest of the time, please poke the video link at the beginning and enjoy the collection of Barry Brothers!

Oh, wait ... The Barry brothers finally have something to say:

"In addition to the basic understanding of car models, fans in into the pit must not only consider the value of car models. Maybe a car model you like, even if the workmanship is not the best and the price is not the most expensive, is enough to make you happy for a while. Playing with car models must be out of love. It's a car model for into the pit fans! ! "
