1:64 scale

Many die-cast automobiles and commercial vehicle models for collectors have been made to a strict scale of 1:64.

Though collectors and manufacturers loosely describe popular lines of die-casts as 1:64, toy vehicles are usually made to "box scale."

Therefore, models of a 1959 Cadillac and an Austin Mini-Cooper designed to fill up the same packaging space will have different actual scales.

Over time, 1/64 scale diecast models have also become an object of photography as a hobby, where photographers use inanimate diecast models and dioramas to create life-like action scenes which provoke the feelings of movement and emotion.

Techniques such as color grading, forced perspective, rule of thirds and focus stacking are commonly used to enhance the details and realism of models.

Pictured is an early example of an approximately 1:64 slot car built by Aurora around 1972, as part of its AFX line.

This first-generation AMC Matador coupe NASCAR race car replica is designed to fit on an enlarged chassis for a nominal HO track.

Manufacturers gradually enlarged the standard 25  mm figures of the 1970s, first describing them as "large 25s," or "heroic 25s."
