1/64 Scale Model Databases and Reference Tools
Look up the casting, check the scale, get the number right
Two tools for the two questions every build asks: which casting, and what size?
WHAT THIS IS
Why These Two Belong Together
Both tools get one number right, and that number is never printed on the box.
- A searchable catalogue of more than 250,000 diecast models, with variant details.
- A free converter that gives model dimensions and the slicer percentage.
- Both run in the browser, need no account, and work on a phone.
All 2 Resources in Resources & Database
Neither asks for an account. The database identifies a casting; the converter stays open while you build.
Model Car Database
Free searchable database of more than 250,000 scale model cars, including 1:64 models, with manufacturer, vehicle and variant information and collection tools.
ToolHuts Model Scale Converter
Converts real-world and model dimensions between scales, including 1:64 diecast and diorama layouts. Also calculates the uniform resizing percentage to apply when preparing STL models in a 3D-print slicer, and offers a printable scale bar for checking dimensions.
IDENTIFY
Use the database to identify what you already own
Half of collecting is the identification puzzle: a casting, a colour, a variant.
A searchable database turns that puzzle into a lookup by manufacturer, vehicle, variant and scale.
It matters when you match a car to a garage, because a casting that is not a true 1:64 shows in the scene.
- Search by manufacturer, model, variant or scale, not by memory.
- Confirm a casting is true to scale before designing a bay around it.
- Check colour and variant when matching a car to a theme.
CONVERT
Use the converter to stop guessing at dimensions
The most common mistake is a prop that is the wrong size.
The ToolHuts Model Scale Converter turns a real measurement into a model measurement, and returns the slicer percentage for STL files.
It also exports a printable scale bar to keep at the bench, which is faster than doing the arithmetic on each prop.
- Convert real measurements into model measurements for any scale.
- Get the exact slicer resize percentage for STL files.
- Export a printable scale bar to check props against.
- No account, no paywall, no signup.
What is the best free database for 1/64 diecast models?
The Model Car Database. It catalogues more than 250,000 scale models with manufacturer, vehicle and variant details, and needs no account to search.
How do I convert a real measurement into 1:64?
Divide the real measurement by 64. A 2,030 mm door becomes 31.7 mm. The converter on this page does it for any scale.
Do I need an account to use these tools?
No. Both are free to use without registering, and the converter runs entirely in the browser.
How do I know if a diecast model is true to scale?
Measure it and compare against the real car dimensions divided by 64. Mini GT and Inno64 sit close; Hot Wheels and Matchbox do not.
