Jason: great to hear from you again. You must be busy at this point of time as many datelines approaching... all the hard work will soon pay off... Do balance up your life there...

Ok! it's not a 1:18 car... I'm sticking to my principle... only picked up 1:43 ...

definately not the M3 GTR... jhue73... come show us more...


Post the Arta NSX to celebrate recent win in Super GT round 7 @ Suzuka ...


some unpost photo... Mirage GT




my next theme...

Just wondering any big difference other than size as you insist on smaller scales?

It depends on personal preferences... some collectors insists on great details... which 1:18 suit them more than 1:43....
For me, space constraint is the MAJOR factor I choose 1:43 scaled models...

@Jasonist: I appreciate your advice but I normally shoot them at night, which means no natural light source. My room lighting sucks, dim and yellowish so the color of most of my cars being shot under these conditions eventually blend in with the surroundings so there's no substance to the actual detail and color of the car. So the only choice here is to use flash . I don't have a high end camera so I can't bounce the flash and I'm still fiddling with my camera's Iso settings (going nowhere with it seems to be a better description, pictures are blur under Iso and Ev adjustment kinda crappy). Sorry for the picture quality though, I'll try to get my lazy ass out of my chair and out into sunshine when I have the chance. Haha

Since this is post #444 it is therefore my obligation to do a major pic SPAM. Haha

Following the special nature of this post, here's a four-car shoot.

First attempt at making the whole thing look like a real garage. Failed.


Second attempt. Still failed.


Looks a wee bit better.


Top Gear magazine style. Also failed.


Close up shot.


Enjoy

jchue73 - Whoa great knowledge there about the ALMS LMS cars, hehe you sure you dint wiki them jkjk ! Minichamps 1/18 SL65 black you sure ? I want pics of your F430 Challenge cars. Show show show ...

subaru22b - Awesome modded classic Z there bro ! Crazy details for such a small scale !

Howard Tan - With car cover sumore, BBR eh ? expensive stuff there Howard.

Jasonist - Unscrew from base looks lower and more garang yea 1-2 days dont come here sure reply till faint haha. Thanks bro !

advocado - Hmm try a slight soft scratch with your finger nail on a microfibre cloth. If it peels easily then just repeat but please be gentle if not the paint will be scratched. Zippo oil does work but depends on the paint they apply on the car too.

MasterLaoDa - Try BTS kyosho ? Maybe they still have it.

REALCollector - Love your Gemballa Mirage GT, Ferrari 550 GT car i wantttt. Why nobody produce them in 1/18 sobs.

Howard Tan - Wow lotsa BBR there Howard. YUUMMMMM ! Why 2 of the same F430 or is it the orangy and red version, cant tell. Keep it up.

Will post some new haul soon, need to go post office to collect zzz.

Guys, any ways I can still get the Hot Wheels Elite Enzo 1:18?

subaru22b: Does your N95 have macro function? If yes, switch to that mode. I notice your shots focus behind the subject instead of the subject itself and that is why the focus is not sharp.. This indicates that you've exceeded the camera's / lens ability to focus closer than it can.

REALCollector: Dreadful? Relak lah bro. I'll take some shots of the McLaren F1 GTRs. Curently too tired and feeling a little lazy.

Wah? You say two items? Let me guess... BBR / Redline F430 GT and a HPI R35?

Planning to get the race livery version of the M3 GTR in 1/18 scale. But difficult to find lah. Wah, your next theme is poisonous ! I shall prepare counter attack measures for your onslaught.

Jasonist: Don't worry about not getting the Minichamps. Sure got lobang wan. Yeah, your Melbourne M3 decided to switch masters and come back to KL instead... Well, there'll be one colour coming which would not be the same as yours. Yup, the box contains the 1/43 scale Minichamps 787B box edition. No money to buy the Autoart 1/18.

advocado: Try and get non acetone nail polish remover. That should work to remove the decals without hurting the base paint.

MasterLaoDa: The other time I was asking if anybody was interested to get Autoart R35 for RM 360, only hokuan showed interest...

khsj: Got it from Ebay. You interested? I'm planning to get the other 2 or 3 more F430 Challenge. Let me know.

Baronzemo: Of course got wiki a bit lah. I'm no walking dictionary unlike our REALCollector bro.

Currently lazy at the moment. Will try and take some shots when I get the whole F430 Challenge group !

zacktan: Which Elite Enzo are you looking at? Plain red? MS personal car? Red with yellow top ? Blue? Let me know since I'm planning on getting some HW Elites and perhaps we can share out the shipping cost...

I have checked it out, seems the decals are quite sticky, also the front 60th logo seems to be in 1 piece with the ferrari logo...

Interested to get these models.

Do let me know where and how much can I get them for.

im curious at the ferrari sizes!
are they bigger than 1/18?

thats really some cool collection
mr. howard!

Howard: nice collection of Ferraris you have there.

ericmaxman: Your choice very difficult lah. RHD S2000 in yellow easy to find and LHD S2000 in white easy to find. But not easy to find RHD S2000 in white. The R34 GT also difficult. 1/43 scale easy lah.

Jchue: Any estimated price for the elite if i join you?

jasonist:Thanks for your comment..........
Baronzemo:Thanks bro for looking and comment...this is rare and very detail model i can say....somemore is going to be hits in market soon due to Wangan Midnight Movie..like Initial D...This Z series i can call it The Devil Z...
jchue73:I'm not sure..but i will try to check it out...If can i will use my digital camera....;)Thanks bro.

hokuan: Which Elite are you eyeing?

599 or f430.....

jchue73: Gosh! I've stepped on a lion tail... tai ko! can't match your mammoth collection... I'm ikan bilis only...
Baronzemo: Forgotten about these 2 great LM models (American BULL DOGS a.k.a muscle cars)... It's great to find collector with the same interest around... quick show us photos of your new additions ...



Let's the BULL DOGS out from cage... woof! woof! woof!



<Ford GT??? hope AA will release 1:43 soon>
