Greetings to cham2020 and all,

I was brought here by cham2020 as I restarted my hobby after 'resigning' 5 years back due to time constraint...my build skill is considered ok but not as those u see on modelling shops..still need more experience in painting..

Recently I am back into this hobby since I am able to find some 1/24 tamiya models at 1/2 price(toycity) and also Tamiya Underground @ 1U is currently having discount till end Feb(worth checking out) ..been buying models and now I need time to diy them..

I am currently using Tamiya cement and Mr Hobby colors as I find them cheaper and the quality is similar to Tamiya paints..never tried spraying before but I am willing to learn and share experience with all the 'sifus' here

haha LanEvo,I got what you got actually.. from toycity rite? buy 1 foc 1 ..i got the impreza(tamiya) and the lancer evo7 tein version(fujimi) hehe...

going to 1u soon due to the 35% discount...

cham2020: After watching the Initial D movie just now on Astro WLT..plan to get the AE86 model..correct me if I am wrong..I dont think Tamiya has one..but Fujimi..has anyone done this b4? how's the quality and accuracy cos so far I only have one Fujimi model (Evo7)..just wanna compare or any other brands available for this model??

happy cny to everyone and happy building/cementing/spraying/collecting/buying this yr!!

Jackygwh: Havent gone to MV yet..dont worry I still rmb ur paints cos I also need to buy some as I have 2 new models to diy this yr :

2) Peugeot 206 WRC 2001

Getting this wk at TU cos 35% disc

hey guys, i'm new here too..just bumped into this thread today and i finished reading everything

ArChAng3L: Welcome welcome..warr..ur skills is good bter than mine leh haha..so any new models u bought or making now?

mostly i collect tamiya models..

heblms: Try toycity..currently they are having a sale and selected models (tamiya,fujimi etc) are buy 1 free 1.. quite worth it..

mostly the prices varies depending on the model..the newer the model the more $$ it is..like the calsonic skyline z jtcc is about rm170 less 20% (if got sale)

others like the normal passenger car (evo6 or skyline r34) price is about rm80 for tamiya brand..

you could also try Tamiya Underground at 1Utama..they have a very good selection but unfortunately i think the sale is over ( used to be 35% off for all models)..

happy hunting!

TU (Tamiya Underground) has new arrivals of tamiya kits..i sae the enzo ferrari retailing at RM189 (if not mistaken)..but tell u the details are A++ for a plastic kit.. if add together with cement,spray and everything,i feel the price should be 200++ lor..

justin: tht's a nice car + a nice ride that you have between,I also saw the same in MidValley..seems that fujimi did release a few versions..I also saw one which is different but almost similar model...

you might want to try Toycity..i think they are having 10% discount for their paints...

havent seen any yet leh ..hehe...

so guys anyone got any new models? or know anywhere besides Toycity having sale? I understand last round 2 months back TU got sale..dunno now got or now..

jackygwh: i might be in MV this week..i'll ask the paints for u..if not liao i send the cement + the black paint to u 1st

LanEvo: How's ur progress for ur EvoVI?

LanEvoChris:Good luck in completing your model..waiting for your pics here!!

Jasonist: This is my mini diorama of my Tamiya Subaru Impreza WRC 2001 Monte Carlo..all DIY except for the telephone poles which is part of my train collection.I am still searching for the modelling grass and trees to make it more realistic but so far no luck..

Here you go!!




Still trying to finalize the setup..any ideas you want to contribute?? I welcome any!! The tyre marks are there but thinking of buying gloss/enamel paint to paint the overall base to make it more real

evoHahn: models are damn cheap here..tht's y i got a dozen already..dunno how to carry it back..haha..take for example..the tamiya evo 5 wrc..it's selling for rm38

so far the best deal i got is the the tamiya calsonic impuz z (with die cast underpanel) got it for only RM60 and the tamiya rally mechanics diorama kit..i got it for rm25

i dont think i will be visiting TU for some time now being..haha..

Oh yeah they already have the Tamiya OpenInterface SC430 JGTC selling for RM86..dont think this has arrive in KL yet..

lanevo: u can also use those removal liquid to remove nail paints..(those use by ladies/girls to remove the paint on their nails) i took some from my aunty..it worked like a marvel on my car..cos i did the similar mistake like u
