Just came across with this publication on Magneto Magazine site about a scale model concours organized by the famous Alfa Romeo (and other Italian cars) collector Lopresto, this time focusing on Mille Miglia. Most of the shots seem to be 1/43 miniatures?

Here's their FB page with some extra pictures.

Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing. I've never come across this before. Takes dioramas to another level.

I did wonder though if it was 1:43, or built from plastic kits (1:24???). I’m sure the answer is there somewhere.

On their Facebook page there is some sort of conversation about Art or Bang models being upgraded, so my guess would be 1/43.

Thank you for sharing the link Paul and the vote of confidence in my diorama ability. I looked at those images very closely and don't think I am quite in the same league. 😄 It appears that most were done in 1/43 based on the use of Presser figures as spectators. Nice to see great work in our scale this time around. Very well executed and presented, gave me a few ideas.

It reminds me I need to complete my MM start ramp diorama.
