As a child, like many of us, it was through toys that I discovered the pleasure of miniature cars. <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Majorette, Matchbox... often battered by extraordinary adventures, then kept like jewels and exhibited like master paintings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stuck on the double chevron for life.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later I was starting my 1\/43 collection. The theme? Easy!
I had just passed my driving test and was discovering the joys of freedom and independence behind the wheel of a superb 1989 cormorant grey 2CV Charleston; I was hooked on the double chevron for life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Looking for new models<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, many years later (the Sherlock Holmeses among you will have done the maths), I have a significant collection and am still on the lookout for new models. But these are becoming rare and often very expensive, even if the quality of certain mass-produced models justifies it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A passion for creating unique models and dioramas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is when I decided to build the models I was missing. New technologies, such as 3D printing, make this goal possible. The final step is to let you benefit from them!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
