And to celebrate VW released a VERY cool video some days ago. Reminds me a lot of the Gymkhana videos – fantastically well made and ice cool.

Spark’s new Madagascar factory
A few hours ago Minimax released a (kind of) nice short video showing their new production facilities in Madagascar. Not exactly a thorough tour of the factory but you can get an idea of how models are produced.

W-143 is 6 years old!
On June 14th, W-143 celebrated our sixth anniversary! Boy, time flies… I still remember the beginning, with me struggling to understand how to make a blog. I wasn’t certain of how it should look or what kind of “features” a 1:43 model blog should have. Not that I know all that now, but what I was/am certain about is what kind of content I wanted to present. Just like what it says on top of the page, W-143 is all about the models, with reviews and a little bit of info on the real deals. And that’s what I will continue offering 🍻.
