Dear Collectors,

Just to share with you guys this Maisto 1:18 Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder I got last week.
Reason for shooting this is because I gonna repaint it to Metallic Grey. This light blue is just too sick/wrong.

And why the car is always on the right? Because I shot this for my wallpaper slideshow.
Let me know if you want it in wallpaper quality, I have them in 1366x768.

Enjoy!













Due to lowyat forum limitation, I couldn't post them all. Enjoy more in the links below,

Ericmaxman, you got PM. :-)

lkwanz, Thank you. Haha. Ya. Tried to make it look as real as possible.

Leroy87, Thank you. Hey. That X6 is damn realistic too. Amazed they able to replicate the grill so well!

Just get a huge size of white paper. Dull or reflective also can. Let's say you like black background, get black paper. Or whatever colour you can find... haha

Then you need light to shine on it. Table light or your own flash. I prefer external light though as I can keep the light source location while changing my shooting position here and there.

Will post up other background if I can find it later. Old pics though. haha

Hehe. Thanks.

Huh? Not USD244.95 meh? or you mean 399 included shipping? Maybe we can ask shop who carries Autoart here to tumpang the courier. hehe

Wah. One very new and rare BMW le!

Huh? I'm not sure. Just play play with whatever gears I have. Maybe my table light very powerful. hehe. Then I play with the contrast in photoshop, crop it for wallpaper size and that's it.

The McLaren F1 is a HighSpeed brand, 1:43 scale.
But I prefer the street version though. And I was late for Maisto 1:18 McLaren F1, black and street version. Heard it is rare.
Then this Autoart McLaren F1, there will be a long journey to save for it liao...

Okie. Will remember this when I'm getting that AA McLaren F1. hehe

Huh. Really ah. Cool. hehe

Very cute Kyosho McLaren F1. Their 1/24 Mini-Z McLaren F1 are superb too.

That Enzo look like a Candy Red. Nice.

I got another McLaren F1 on 1:10 scale. Wearing Gulf decals.

Mini-Z one starts from RM159 lo. The details on the shield is impressive. But no movable doors and hood la.

Yeap. But it is the long tail version again. I'm trying to get the Kyosho 1:10 McLaren F1 bodyshell(shape like the banana LM) as well but the shell only bundled with the car which cost bout RM800. And according to the shop, even can get the bodyshell also, it is pre-painted and cost bout RM250.

Ahhh. Hope AA don't make it a limited edition man. It is such a nice piece!
And not good to drain my wallet now again...

Sky707 - Nice bulls there!

Ikwanz - There are plenty of tracks and brands to choose here ma.

Here's one 1/12 scale McLaren F1 from Minichamps. Had many detail features like the Autoart but overall quality and details still not up to Autoart standard though. hehe. Such as the air intake of this and the air intake of AA. Even the interior.


And the price???
See the link below...

http://www.amazon.com/Minichamps-McLaren-R...&tag=metally-20



And last unit...

Added on May 23, 2010, 7:42 pmAnd for those collectors who really love McLaren F1 so much, here are some more rare collection, each variant has only 25 built, so little even in the scaled down world.

Added on May 23, 2010, 8:13 pmThis is also the one I wanna get and can be seen in various shops but too bad Kyosho only release them together with functional RC Car(RM7xx) instead of just the bodyshell only.

Added on May 23, 2010, 9:32 pmAnd this one looks like a model cars fair in Japan where one AA McLaren F1 was also displayed and reviewed in the link below. Doesn't look as good as what AA advertised though.

Hehehe. Yes I am. Felt in love with how it stands on the ground and seduced me at first sight. But have not spotted one 1:1 scale just yet. Heard Sultan Johor has one yellow colour lo.

Okie. Checking the Amalgam 1:8 now!

Bugatti too make replica of their Veyron in various colour combination, can't remember the size, but it was huge. And I remember the price tag was 5 figure. hehe
Just checked Amalgam. I think those Veyron at Bugatti were made by Amalgam too.
And I spotted the headphones that you mentioned in this pic!

Added on May 23, 2010, 11:37 pmThose pictures of the AA McLaren F1 displayed at modeling fair surrounded the net don't look as good as the one AA displayed on their official site though. The paint look fake/funny, like Maisto. Is it because they are just a prototype for display? or rumour that the AA quality has dropped is true? Or because what advertised always look better than the actual stuff? Just like McD?

Thanks khsj!

Anyone getting the AA McLaren F1 please let me know ya. Shrinking my stomach now. hehehe

Har why??? You had bad delivery experience before?

Har. What the heck. We deserved for good quality product since we are paying over USD2xx. And why are we willing to pay a premium price is because we want the premium quality AA make ma... aiya...

What kind of defects you guys had? definately not caused by delivery lo?

I still don't have a single road version of McLaren F1 lo, all are the race version... ai...

This post has been edited by edwardc: May 26 2010, 09:27 AM

Aiya like that...

Masking not good? Out of line? or some part of the paint funny?

Cause saw those pics of this McLaren F1 displayed at hobby fair, the colour is funny!

Shit. That's terrible!

My Maisto Lambo has a seat came off from the clip!

Sad. My experience I only assembled One R34 only, I'm more into RC and occasionally get models when I spotted the right one. hehe. But I do have friends who offer model kit assembling job here.
