08 Audi A3 Audi A3 09 Way ahead in front. The first step in turning an Audi into a miniature is to rescale the original design drawings. Special care is taken here to make sure that the design elements and the visual features of the “big” Audi are reproduced in the model as well. The Audi A3 is among the most popular vehicles. And it’s no wonder, the way it combines purist design with innovative functionality. It also combines technology and quality. This standard applies in the production of miniatures as well. The Audi A3 is made by Herpa in Bavaria, along with many other models. One special characteristic: During assembly, the manufacturer merely fits the individual parts of each model together, without gluing them. This way hobbyists can also work on their Audi on a miniature scale.

Certain proportions have to be adjusted, as these change when reducing the size of the object. This is the most time-consuming step, but also the most important one in the production. This copper piece is then fired in an eroding machine with a voltage of 15,000 V to form a steel piece – after many hours of work, this process ultimately yields the injection mould. To ensure that the body of the model has the same brilliant shine as the original, the steel moulds are polished by hand for up to a week.
Audi A3/A3 Sportback 011 Plastic residues in many colours and forms are collected during the production process. Herpa recycles 100 % of these pieces and returns them to the process for reuse. Ice silver Daytona grey The hot molten plastic is injected at high pressure into the steel mould and is pressed into shape. For that reason each different-coloured part must be produced separately. All 26 individual parts of the miniature model for the A3 are produced using a different mould.

Each second a new wheelset is produced which is then attached to the body by hand.
