Saab scale models!
November 17, 2011 in Saabology
On Saablog-in, we found this great story about a person who really cares about Saab’s and scale models:
Griffin Models started as a natural continuation of a hobby, a passion. For over 20 years I was collecting my own collection of Saab models in scale 1:43. At one moment I noticed that there are too many missing models in the collection, not because I have not found them, but because they have never been produced. It turned out that many of the outstanding cars throughout the Saab history have not been noticed by the scale models manufacturers. This is why I decided it is my duty to find a way to make the missing scale models. Thus, from a collector I became a manufacturer.
We are proud to say that our scale models are not a copy of other models. Everything you are seeing has been made from scratch. Every single detail is carefully designed so that it fits the requirements for joining the parts and for other technological processes. The process of creating the scale models especially in white metal is very long and complicated, but soon it will be presented under a special section of the web site. We hope you will find it interesting!

Thank you.
It took me almost 4 years until now…
More unusual and classic Saabs are coming soon.

They are incredible, looks like you put a lot of time effort into them, not to mention money.

And a lot, a lot of passion. Andrei has been mentor to Bulgarian Saab Community for quite a lot of time now and this work, this ‘model poetry’, for me is just the iceberg of his devotion to Saab brand and culture. Magnificent job, Andrei!

I can say only one thing:
wow
And everything that Angel-off is saying is absolutely correct!
Andi, you are doing an amazing job!
cheers

The one with the flared guards looks like the limited edition Saab 900 Enduro sold only in Australia:

I should have looked at the web page. I hope the model sell a thousand times better than the real car did!

I also hope for the late models to come available
Especially the 2008 facelift convertible
I want to give it a lynx yellow body paint!

Interesting!? That is the very sort of person I admire most of all!

And might I point out, it is great to see that somebody has a Saab production line rolling!

I showed my wife what I’d like for Christmas – a 900T 5 door!
