These images of the miniature models of Mahindra Thar were shared on the Facebook page of Miniature Crafters. The popularity of the Mahindra Thar lends itself well to try out such activities with its moniker. The lifestyle off-roader has sold over 3,000 consistently since its launch and the waiting periods are still long. The new Thar has found many first-time buyers as a result of being so practical and user-friendly. It is not the same old hardcore off-roading machine that was difficult to live with. Now, there are plenty of modern tech features and powerful engines to enable the owners to use it on daily basis too. These miniature models of the Mahindra Thar are extremely accurate and also represent the Independence Day theme quite well. Let us take a look in detail at what these models actually look like.

Mahindra Thar Miniature Models
The miniatures look strikingly similar to the actual SUV which is quite impressive. These are based on the last-gen Thar which had a traditional utilitarian look to it. The front features a vertically slated Jeep-like grille, round headlights, bonnet hooks above the massive fenders with cladding and pronounced wheel arches. The front bumper is typically off-roading-oriented with a large approach angle. The tyres used are massive high profile chunky ones to provide decent ride quality even on tracks where roads end. The new-gen model is also placed right next to the old school model and looks strikingly similar to the real vehicle. All in all, these miniature models are very accurate and would be a great addition to a Thar fan or off-roading fans in general.
