Summary: A model car is a miniature representation, or scale model, of an automobile. The line between model and toy car is poorly defined, but some toys can be scaled and detailed well enough to be considered models. Miniature cars, which are poorly proportioned or lack significant detail, are usually considered to be toys rather than models. The term "model car" most frequently refers to scale miniatures of real vehicles, designed as kits for the enthusiast to construct. They can be created in plastic, die-cast metal and wood, among other things. The best kits have incredible levels of detail, even in parts you can't see when the finished model is on display.

Those interested in taking up model cars for a new hobby, for collectibles, or out of general curiosity will find help in this free video series. You don't have to be a model car enthusiast to learn the types and sizes of model cars, what supplies you need, how to paint model cars and how to maintain them. Watch and learn a new hobby in this video series!
