This is a good, even bold, attempt to define the whole gamut of diecast collectible cars, focusing on the cheaper and later varieties in many forms.

Nevertheless, the guide is very complete with many fascinating tidbits of information. Any collector will value it, especially beginners.
Provence Moulage resin kits were made in Aubagne, east of Marseilles. They are accurate and detailed. Building them, however, requires much crafting skill. Pieces don't fit right and many need to be refashioned. Now I understand why Vincent van Gogh cut his ear off. The finished model looks quite nice though. Unless you like the challenge of the build, buy these already constructed.
