Why not buy those Ikea Detolf and apply some anti dust treatment?

If you polish your cars it would make cleaning much easier.

Added on September 22, 2009, 10:22 pmAm wondering how you guys take pictures of your car. I'm having problem getting the picture right:



I use lighting the car becomes too bright, so I used no light + super long exposure, but still not right... is it because of the Ferrari Red?

myke, nice car you have there =)

lovencare: luckily im not into roadster... otherwise... but im kinda disappointed with lambo with the release of reventon roadster... it seems like making the reventon not so exclusive anymore since theres a different variant of reventon being produced... i tot reventon suppose to be an exclusive model, but with the roadster released, don think so le...

AMG_soh: oh no the black is so tempting!!! managed to spot this last week...



jchue73: interesting stuff there! well, didnt know minichamps has the 1/43 version... guess the car should display with the box to look great! the SL65 AMG is crazy price! orange looks... i wonder if its a DE.. im impressed with ur diecast haul from around the world! seems the british does have great reputation for online diecast purchase... good on u!

REALCollector: hey no ikan billis for u! ur collection is IKAN TERROR! some rare diecast racing models u've got there! can have more choice in 1/43 scale though... awesome ferrari collection! btw haha y homer stuck at there???

MasterLaoDa: nice Tomica display there... thanks for sharing!

chobo: nice ride spotted! i love the wheels!

advocado: starwars figure??? haha good on u!

Baronzemo: still looking for it... but the seller seems to struggle in getting a red one though... superb aston 009!!! is this the Prodrive version??? i heard aa one is a showcar... Prodrive is the race car version...

myke: nais nais!!! u do have lots of car that im hunting for! love ur ae86!!! talking bout ae86, Takumi had juz visited Melbourne!




the cup still remains on the dashboard...

advocado: nice try, try to hold ur camera lower... bout the lights, natural sunlight is the best... focus it right and u could have a realistic diecast photoshoot...

Hi, everyone. I am real new to this hobby and am very encouraged to see that there are so many diecasters here as well. Erm, started my collection yesterday, which means 1 car so far. But hey, everything needs a start eh? Wanna find out where to buy online? Doesn't matter if it's overseas.

wau..show ur first car....for me eBay is the best place to hunt

which brand is better? im jz a form 5 student so budget's kinda limited...



first car...1:24 maisto, Murcielago LP640...

jasonist: yup i'm also waiting for the c63 amg either silver or black =)

Good start there.

Here's my LP640.



For a Form5 student, you can't go wrong with a 1/24 Maisto or bBurago.

Choices are aplenty for this scale. Also depends on what type of car you like.

I'd avoid JDMs most of the time, except for rare occasions.

Would like to know, comparing high end diecast like AutoArt & Kyosho, V.S High end car model kits done by decent modellers, which one would look nicer?

Is there such thing as Model Kit Cars that comes with Diecast body so we can do the details on smaller parts? You know get the best of both.

eric: thx for d info...is dere anyway to get dem at cheaper prices? bot mine from toys r'us which cost me 60 bucks... wat's JDMs btw?

Unless you can find older stock @ RM50, I guess almost all of them are RM60 nowadays.

JDMs are Japanese Domestic Market cars. Things like AE86, Skyline R34, GT-R R35 etc..

Porsche, I hear?

hm...ok...has anyone tried buying wholesale? we could all put a list together den buy in bulk...=p

cool porsche...looks expensive...

Maybe you can get wholesale

from where?

Wholesale? Well, do let me know if you can find.

Sounds like a good idea to get started..

wei6048866: You have PM.

Difference between a 1/18 scale and a 1/43 is...



REALCollector: Aiyoh... Not a big brother lah. Very small brother in the world of diecasting ! Hey, please stop spamming the thread with Ferrari race cars ok? Nice F430 GT2 BTW. Finally you got it.

chobo: Nice pics of the 1:1 bull.

advocado: Actually, the McLaren SLR from Maisto is one of the better offerrings from Maisto. Really good bang for the buck. Just like the Porsche Carera GT from Maisto. As for cabinets, I got Ikea Bertby wall mounted cabinets. but it can only fit 10 1/18 cars in one cabinet.

Baronzemo: Wahlau eh.... Truly salute you man ! You're my idol. That's a very difficult to find limited edition 1/18 Autoart DBR 009 2008.

myke: Spring cleaning?



Oh man... Look at this. You sure I got more cars to clean than you?

Jasonist: The orange SL65 AMG is limited edition from Mercedes. They specially released 100 pieces in conjunction of the IAA in Frankfurt just like what Koenigsegg did when they released 100 limited pieces of the 1/18 CCX at the autoshow.

xXchelseafanXx: Welcome.


Oh, before I forget, this came in today...



There's two cars in there. One of them myke already has and the other one AMG_soh already has too.

Jason: That S63 was stunning... If AA do release in 1/43 I sure grab one

Myke: Yummy! yummy! you got such a mouth watering collections ...

Jchue73: Your Parcels just keep coming ... come on show us photos...

Before I spam my last Ferrari... Let me go off topic a while... cause I never take proper photos for these models...
There you go! the 1997 Le Mans Mclaren F1 GTR Vs 1998 AMG CLK LM...


-> Oh! Jason, I forgotten to answer your question in the earlier post... The 1999 AMG CLK LM was the one that you mentioned flying over the fence of Le Mans race track...

Part 1: 1997 Gulf - Mclaren F1 GTR

Part 2: 1998 AMG CLK LM

Aiyoh, racun alert ! McLaren F1 GTR and CLK LM !

Can anyone help me check if the Jada shop has this model or not?


Jada 1/24 Police Dodge Charger w Stock rims
