Viral Video Shows Miniature MSRTC Bus Crafted by Farmer's Son
A young man named Suraj Mane from a small area near Karad in Maharashtra has made a tiny but very detailed copy of a big red bus called the Lalpari.
This bus is used by the Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation.
Suraj is not a trained artist, but he has a special talent for making small models of vehicles.
He even made the tires for his model with help from his dad, who works in the shoe industry.
People on the internet are very impressed with his work and are calling him a talented artist from rural India.
Suraj is so popular now that he won't be able to take new orders until next year.
He has an Instagram page where he shows more of his amazing miniatures.
A viral video features a highly detailed miniature of the MSRTC Lalpari bus crafted by Suraj Mane, a self-taught artisan from Maharashtra.
Suraj, known as the 'farmer's son with extraordinary talent,' has gained recognition for his lifelike miniature vehicles despite having no formal training.
The model includes intricate details like the bus body texture, windows, doors, and custom-made tires, with help from his father in the footwear industry.
Suraj's Instagram handle, @miniature_autocraft, showcases his other miniature vehicles, including trucks, cars, and transport vehicles.
Due to overwhelming demand, Suraj's order list is full, and he will not accept new commissions until the first quarter of 2027.
