My fascination with miniature model vehicles has always been fuelled by my love for their real-world counterparts. Every truck, van, bus or car has its own story, but the ones that really catch my eye are vehicles carrying distinctive corporate branding. They have a character of their own and instantly make me think, "That would make a fantastic scale model!"
Around noon today, a delivery arrived at work and as I stepped outside to collect it, something else caught my attention. Parked outside was a Maruti Suzuki EECO delivery van dressed in the unmistakable yellow-and-red DHL livery.
It wasn't an exotic sports car or a rare classic, yet it stood out because of its clean branding and purposeful design. For most people, it was just another delivery vehicle. For me, it was a reminder that inspiration for a miniature collection can come from the most ordinary places.
Sometimes, all it takes is stepping outside at the right moment to spot a future addition to the wishlist—if only someone would produce this DHL-liveried EECO as a die-cast model!
