Oi kuman ! i m not kids la i dun hav school anymore i even finished my collage lah haha jus because i work inside a school so when school holidays then i dun hav work loh

oh ya btw when u ppl wan buy airbrush plz inform me k i really wan to get into this hobby for real.... last time oni use wat i hav to build my model not pro ....

@ infested_ysy
i think the reason they hav cheap toy model is because there is no market for exp model like the one we are searching for ....... afterall they jus wan to do business..... who will import exp model and there's no buyer ? my area also same la...... oni cheap model shop survive.... those shop which are selling really nice toy model one dun survive afterall...... maybe thats the market problem...... i mean who also cna import nice model... but the prob is can they sell it out ?

heh i am going to chap lap when going to buy those high queality product....


anyway is there any hobby shop selling those cheap kit tat are suitable for mee
those chinise brand u mension wan..... those Rm20++++

anyway is the City Squre beside the roadside and also Ampang park????

maybe ask my parent to suport my spending wakakaka

any of you want to sponser all my kit

Meh, even those cheap models don't sell at all (ie: all the displayed diecast stuffs on Malacca's ToyCity NEVER sells. It's so pathethic, that nobody would still bother with them even though there's a 50% discount off their cheaper RM12 diecast aircrafts).

But still, World Tank Museum series are cheap, and so are most of the shokugan 1/144 WWII/modern day aircraft/tank miniatures that I've seen on websites/Japanese hobby magazines, and they're detailed. Don't see why they don't sell those...

It is times like this that I wished STPM would just end like, today, and I get some proper job instead of being a free worker for my parent's shop, get a credit card, and start spending gazillion bucks ordering boxes of the 1/144 miniatures straight from places like hlj.com.

guys, i still need to know where YowChuan plaza, and city square.

maybe again there's not enough market there... they should have this sale all throughout Malaysia then for collector of the-not-so-real model can get them at a bargain price..

i think aircraft is more appealing to customer nowadays...

yup.. everyone wish that but later when get proper job... the priority also shifted.. but again nothing can stop us from spending out hard earned money right..

i for one is trying to finish my current bundle of model kits before venturing further in buying more kits that i'll not have time to build... (except when there a good kits and the price is right model kits hangin around in Hobby shop) ..

as for the diecast model.... hopefully the "wife" would give them as a present for any occasion at all.. maybe anniversary etc... since she's a great fan of those die-cast model...

any1 intersted with commercial airplane???

i am interested on stewedess not comecial airplane

teddie,

im a commercial plane enthutiast here. All my models currently are commercial, its not that i have a lot. =D

lol... i m intersted with tat but im juz a form 6 student, no $$ for it haha... ermmm now i juz got A380F kakakaka.... but now i looking for A380 test flight version... ^^

Haha I'm not affiliated with HobbyHq la but I do visit them quite often. Usually they'll have modellers meetup on Saturdays. Quite interesting to see what others are building and technique sharing. Anyways...HobbyHQ is just opposite AmpangPark.

I have yet to see the new 1/32 SU-27 built by a fellow modeller in MiniatureHobby. It's gonna be huge!!

As for airbrushes... I bought mine from HLJ.com for a pretty good price. Trips to HK will be a good idea too as it's cheap there. Bought some handpiece there as well.
Oh yea.. those el-cheapo brushes will be more frustrating to paint. Better to get some good brushes/airbrushes to save headaches later on. So far I've been happy with brushes from Tamiya HG series. Abit expensive but worth it. Art brushes are good too but you'll need to be selective of it as some won't hold much paint.

I started off with ArmourCollection series of diecast planes too that's when I moved on to scale models. I think it's quite worth it if you're a serious collector as it really heavy and the scale is pretty good. Only downside is it's too darn expensive to collect. Wish I could show u guys the collection but it's all boxed up at the moment... no place to display it. Wife will kill me too... haha

your A380 is revell monogram teddie? i saw it once but its gone now. Don't know where tob uy

ermmm sorry, wat is revell monogram?

its actually "Revell" and "monogram" are defrent but dunno how they combine to each other????

it's actually Revell Germany (from germany ) and revell Monogram (US)
Anyway both has the same plastics/spruce except boxing, decals and additional addons.

icic... wat i bought is plastic at the wing part but diecast at the body part, manufacture by dragon wings

i'm beginning to like commercial airplane as well... but some of them is unbelieveably expensive for such as small scale (as what i saw in ToyCity, scale 1:144 = RM300 ).. but for now i'll have to settle with military aircraft.. since as i mentioned before... no time to assemble..

just a wild guess of your affiliation there
they have a meetup every Saturdays... wowo that just awesome.. i really wish they have some kind of modeller club or something up here in Penang area... or maybe they just not as active as the ones in KL..

maybe there are other modeller out there in Penang area.. since i saw this model kits (KITECH brand) always out of stock in my local THE STORE eventhough they just stock up the thing a couple of weeks ago... hmmm maybe i need to ask the cashier to take the telephone number of anyone that bought the model kits..

1:32 SU-27... that would be an awesome build... i really love the big-big scale model kits... but the building process have to be very details since its big and we can see every bit of details in it... i have one MIG29 1:32 scale.. but too afraid to build..

i'm going to refer to this guy build when i build my MIG
same as this MIG-29 Fulcrum A 1:32 scale

anyway... in conjunction with Raya... i rearrange my messy display cabinet and realize that i most probably need another cabinet to dispaly all my model properly... and it will take up space in the living room and the wife is not going to be really happy about it.. although he approved of my hobby...
