Hello,

New member from Klang here. Onli 13 years old.
Have 18 cars currently but I'll list down my faves.

All are in 1:18 scale.

1. Minichamps/PMA Porsche Carrera GT Guards red
2. AutoArt Aston martin V8 vantage Titanium Silver
3. AutoArt Ford GT yellow/black stripes
4. AutoArt Nissan 350Z Roadster Sunset Orange
5. AutoArt Bugatti EB 16.4 Veyron Show Car yellow/black
6. AutoArt Mazda RX-8 Lightning Yellow
7. AutoArt BMW M3 CSL Coupe Graphite Black
8. AutoArt Lamborghini Gallardo Coupe Silver
9. AutoArt Cadillac CTS-V Race Car #16 Angelilli

A pic of my latest and favourite car:


Minichamps/Paul's Model Art Porsche Carrera GT Gurads Red in 1:18 scale.

Those are my faves. My collection is pretty small. Saving up for some new additions for this year. Currently on my list is the AutoArt Upgraded Skyline GT-R in white and the AutoArt Koenigsegg CCX in black. Have to get these two to have a new list. I'm now very close to the Skyline! Then the CCX will be bought with Chinese New Year money! (hopefully along with another car)

P.s. Some great news for we collectors is that AutoArt has confirmed the Koenigsegg CCX in 3 colours (black/silver/yellow) in the Millennium line. It will be released by March (hopefully).

Thanks, thanks for the welcomes.
I don't have 18 AAs btw. The rest are Hotwheels, Motormax and Maisto.
I'll post more pics when I'm off from school (during CNY, maybe?).
Looking at the upgraded Skyline and GT500 right now. Maybe I should start a theme? JGTC or Porsche 911 theme? Or Group C race cars theme? Give me your comments.

AA BMW M3 CSL- Sapphire Black Metallic






Plus, here's a little spoiler.



My connection is really slow right now, so these are the only pics I can show you guys. I'll post more next week, cause of school.

I'm done with the survey

Added on March 4, 2007, 12:42 amYup, I saw pics of that Skyline a few days ago. Fellow collectors were stunned by the awesome white wheels. Btw, this is definitely going to be very expensive in Nikko Mid Valley, so save up! The standard upgraded Skyline in either blue or pearl white is RM439 and no discount cause it's a new arrival!

P.s: Jasonist, the difference between the R-Tune and the Z-Tune is that the R-Tune is has about 450bhp while the wild Z-Tune has 500bhp and a suspension so sophisticated, it defines the laws of physics. The Z-Tune is also rather exclusive.

Here's something for those that think RM329 for an AA Gallardo is worth buying.



Yes, I got mine for RM259 but that's 3 years ago.
This is how Nikko raises prices. And the gallardo's MSRP didn't increase.
IMHO, the best spot to buy decent/premium diecasts is Harbor Front Shopping Centre in Singapore, i was there during my SuperStar Virgo cruise (Virgo docked at Singapore Cruise Centre, which is linked to the mall). I managed to get the MC Carrera GT. Even the staff there are friendly and kind. Best of all, they at least know about what they're selling. I have a pic of the BBR Maserati MC12 and Kyosho 1:12 Ferrari F40, let me host them.




There we go.
For those wondering where has the Trident's rear wing gone, it's in the box cause the two things on the car that hold it is rather fragile.

My Carrera GT is SGD185+20% discount. It's worth it.

If you guys wana have a more sorted area to share pictures and discuss about model cars, have a look at sgdc.sgforums.com
There are loads of other enthusiastic collectors, great pictures, all for other collectors to see. It's literally a forum for model car collectors by model car collectors! Cheers!

No prob.
Anyway, I got a Kyosho Ferrari F40.
It's very impressive.



Just one pic for now.

Ya, it's very nice. Got adjustable seats also...Did some outdoor shots of it this morning. Will postpics up asap, the computer that has the pics won't get connected... Must repair already =X

Kyosho Enzo (F60) is in 1:43 scale, avail. in Rosso Scuderia, Rosso Corsa and blue I think. For RM299 a piece, it's not worth it. My F40 was RM315. Add RM15 and get a much, much better car. The Kyosho 1:43s have functioning bonnet and hood tho. I'm really attracted with the 1:12 F40 Lightweight there but it's RM 2499!



No la. Not USD 200. That one is Kyosho 575 GTC Evoluzione in Matt Black range, cause it's very rare now. All sold out. My F40 cost me RM315 from Motorsports Model Singapore. (including shipping) Jacky is a nice guy to deal with. I had to pay RM22 of taxes and collect from KLIA though.

Yes, my photo. Waermark added to prevent photo-grabbing without given permission. Will get my outdoor shots of the baby uploaded soon

And I'm definitely getting the AutoArt Ford GT LM Test Car once it gets released! Carbon-Fibre is soooooo HAWT!

Easy. Hotwheels. The mass produced ones, not Elites.

Meddled with a few settings on the camera early today morning. Took some outdoor shots of the F40. No editing done, except for wordings/watermarks. Enjoy.
