hehe... juz wondering only... but how to respray it? need coating? coz the surface is so smooth... how can the paint sustain on the surface?

there are other forums teaching you this, like Automotive Forums. you can see there. but since the international links are down.... looks like you'll have to wait

ya are u sur ?? autoart leh... exp model.. later ruin it sayang... i do respray my diecast but is maisito oni la .... red to black... and good outcome... u have to ask someone who hav skill to respray it... if not wont nice

tats y lor... needa be very careful and do homeworks before making the decision... but tell me ur experience on ur f50... how u do it? do u put coating first before u spray? and how bout the logos? how to prevent the logos from being sprayed?

hmm i ask my friends dad help me spray... because he is a craftman.... he jus use RM 7.50 black spray to spray it no coating no other jus spray.... the sticker i duno how he remove it and put it back... i think jus take it out kua .. but the outcome wont be as good as original la

gosh... this seems to be possible to do so huh? but i wonder how he did it... especially wana disassemble all the parts (bonnet, boot etc)... u juz hand the whole model for him? can intro this guy to me pls? maybe in future i might need to his help... hehe...

Hi all,

I just registered myself here today.I'm Ken and also an avid collector of scale models over the past 10 years.My collection includes scales from 1:64 to 1:18 ranging from Hot Wheels,Auto Art,Maisto,Onyx,Tamiya,BBurago and the list goes on...

I would love to share my experiences and also gain some experience in this forum from all of you since I read that most of the members here are serious collectors of cars..

Happy New Year and happy collecting

welcome! glad ur one die cast collector here... wish we can share more in this thread... show off ur models by posting the photos!

yea man!....show off your cars..please....

i used to have this kind of diecast car when i'm small.. But many of them had broken because of those children who came to my house.. they destroyed it...made me feel so sad.. till now, i had left only 5 cars..

gosh... tats a nightmare... so u still collecting these cars? mind to tell us more bout ur models?

btw, its hard to find 1/18 Skyline R33 die cast huh? since autoart doesnt produce this model... i wonder how can we find this model le? even kyosho only makes 1/43 of the R33...

i have some die cast models selling..
let me grab some photos for u guys to view..
interested ones can pm or call me too..
the scale is 1:24 if i'm not mistaken, n its changeable parts as well...

hmm... izit from hotworks one?

its from D1..

yea... i mean the die cast manufacturer is from hot works ya?

jason are u sur no R33 for autoart ?? i thought i saw one b4

edit
sorry tats R32 ... but R33 not tat "worth" to collect leh...for me la R32 and 34 is enough

y r33 not worth le? its oso a successor after r32 le... i really confused bout this y there are no die cast manufacturers DARE to produce r33... like autoart produce r32 then skip to r34...

gosh... i don mind to collect r33 if there are any available in the die cast market... of coz, in malaysia...

Hi Jason & naka7a,

Thanks a lot for your support.Yes I will post my pics but I need to retake my shots again as I just added some new models..Stay tune

R33 from Autoart? btw..i havent really come across one but if you guys frequent to SG,you can try and look for one shop called Motorsports inside Meritius Mandarin Hotel(Orchard Rd) They have nice collections and they give discounts from time to time.The guy there is quite helpful and can even order/search for you if you cant find a particular model.

Actually I just ordered the HotWheels Elite Ferrari FXX from that shop Has anyone seen this model here?

Oh yeah..Nikko is still having the 1:43 scale models ( selected ones) promotion at RM100 for 2(for those on tight budget ) Go check out at Atria,DU..as I think they have better selection compared to Avenue K & MV branch.Popular brands include Onyx,Skid and Trofeu.
