reporting in late.. i first joined was in V1 and now so fast V10!! congrat! there are few past laopan who rules this thread since 2005, peoples come and go.. but our passion will always be here.. now seems like bluehammer is the new leader plus laopan who drive his bulls and park here often thanks

spam old photo 1st


geeamino: finally can see your new haul! your orange mp4-12c can change color to volcano? amazing.. i like your setup! nice photos...

BryantNg: eh... no diecast were offended in the making of this picture in my studio.

blu3hamm3r: thanks bro, why totally stop hauling? there's still lots of bulls out there. we also everyday eat bread for breakfast ma.. you had abalone at noon & sashimi for dinner no tell us only.. BTW what time is the gathering on March 24? if i can make it i'll probably bring those model with polystyrome box, easy to carry & take out.

sc79: super rare tofu car nowadays, plan to mod japanese number plate? or can get from marcus directly?

WKWebsite: hunting for bigger scale? give us some suprises yah

aquilaTE: thanks bro, you can practice more to get better result.. just look at my 1st picture posted in V1..worst than many others here

geeamino: haha.. thanks for confused our members here, btw any 1:1 MP4-12C in malaysia yet? how come took so long to arrive? i thought you prefer copper color over the orange, so at 1st picture really looks like you ordered it with black rims, special LE from Frontiart leh..

thenewaddiction: wow! you got the most fragile model during transit, lucky you is that sam wickwicky next to soundwave?

Lkwan90: what camera are you using? you can edit in photoshop to get better result.

updates of my elevated parking tower:

blu3: yeah i know very risky, but as long no 1 touch i think it's ok... since i don't have any more parking space for them.. that's the max height oredi.
exotics group photo:


and this is my latest addition:

WTF!! what cause it? EARTHQUAKE?!

hacken: stunning red 458 GT2!! i'm waiting from HW Elite.. please come out soon!

one thing i dont like about BBR resin models, esspecially on 458 is that they do not pay attention to shutlines details.. it is almost invisible during photoshoot and barely on naked eyes too.. unlike their competitor MR and Frontiart which has fine shadow line... without it is like a RC model
of course there are pros & cons between different resin model makers.. just my two cents.. correct me if i'm worng

thanks for correcting me... can't wait for your MR photo session!

gee, you're looking at tan interior on 458 spyder too? guess black inteior is abit boring since it is open for details.. let's hope hacken's MR is rosso maranello and we can decide which to get

i'm not sure if Frontiart actually listen to what i commented on their matt black aventador base during preorder thru Laoda. I wanted a white base and Laoda told me it comes with it! i think a glossy white base would be even nicer
So you have preodered the Dubai version as well? or the pink? or both?

also my 2nd addition:

why black? because i saw one exactly the same everyday at my office area.

indeed striking red! nowander i can't see the body shutlines thanks for the review, agreed with you and i will skip MR for Ferrari. i guess WKWebsite was confused at first thought was HWE is because of the rims? very similar to HWE standard leh

only 1 in the world & who could it be? I'm sure AA will add this production in signature series because it has no roof, plus less metal/zamak mean more profits? ... but i find it

i judged by photo only.. only hacken knows yeah same taste with you here.. it has 2 dna mixture of Avendator with Sesto Elemento

whoa! you & blu3hammer really a lambo fansy, collected almost all SVs except yellow? only geeamino has it so far

sorry... i mean only the rims, of course HWE is no par with any resin model despite of interior & exterior, but the way i look at ther rims.. i have doubts, really no offend

Resin model is bubble free

Statement from AUTOart:
'The main difference between making die cast models and resin models is in the tooling investment. Resin model uses silicon mould, it is comparatively cheap and quick to produce the mould. However, silicon mould is only good for small quantity production and it will start to break. It also takes much longer time to cure a resin piece and the rejection rate is high. Resin model is also harder to work with, all the metal parts have to be made by photo etching from sheet metal (a process requires no mould cost); the etching pieces are costly to produce and they are more difficult to fix on the models. With a small production quantity per each subject to amortize the research, development and marketing cost, resin model producers will have to sell at higher prices in order to justify their investment. The main disadvantage of resin model is the rigidity of resin material itself especially around the area of hinges and A and B pillars; it breaks easily and this is the reason why resin model is usually made without opening and no moving suspension part. It is more or less the same scenario when we compare real cars made with fiberglass body and metal body. Fiberglass body cars are usually more expensive than metal body cars because the production is much smaller.'

that's cheap! i should have get from you..

Jchue73: now I'm regret for not getting the red GTR with ya last time.
WKWebsite: advise not to sell the Matt black & white Aventador.

jchue73: don't tempt me with your 1:12 GTR! i almost got the super black last week but ended up with 1:18 .. bout the Kyosho Red GTR, don't even think about it because is super rare and it'll cost a bomb in ebay.

forumer21: you got it from tauke low.88? it's good to start slow & steady.. don't get influenced to follow laopan here!

OR2NG7: you not only poisoned WKWebsite, but me too, wher do you get the 1:12 R35 from and how much?

geeamino: really nice 458 family photos your MP4-12C orange look more outstanding than the Trofeo.

WKWebsite: there's few units of Kyosho GTR R35 floating in ebay, perhaps you wanted a RHD? why Kyosho & not AA?
Because of this? I took it out just for you to see

Kyosho's rims has a little bit of gun metal polished finish, while AA's 1:12 is the best replica but without tyre air valve

If you want the perfect replica then go for Amalgam 1:8 as shown:
