TOY CAR ADVENTURES

These images of vintage cars, bikes and vans, pictured all over the world, could easily have come from a globetrotting petrol-head’s photo album. However, all the vehicles are tiny toys photographed in scenic landscape settings. These realistic tiny toy adventures were captured by Swiss photography student Kim Leuenberger, 22. ‘It all started as a bit of an accident,’ says Kim, now of London and studying at University of the Arts London.
