i assume have to print 50pcs same design?

anyone wanna bulk AE86 Takumi front/back no. plates?

lul u stick with ur jay special la.

i dunno where to make, i assume bluhammer kno and plan to make?

how is the printing going? is the size just fit coz it'd be tricky to align it ourselves.

if you really have problem with 48 sets, i can help you take 2 pairs. Thing is my hand vibrates when i try to do something precise like, sticking the sticker onto the plate.

what about the Tofu?

btw there is a small GTO at the right bottom corner if you didn't notice lulz.

u kno how to make?

you'll need special printer & ink so it can withstand water & crumpling while applying. i don't know how top coat works with water & crumpling.

if can only last 3 months then no point.

Paper glue? Did you spray a top coat on the plates? Will the ink sip tru the paper & stain after some time?

BTW why didn't AA put the number plates on the 1st place? did they on the 1st white bonnet release?

wad u use for the backdrop & base? i use black paper the effect isn't that good, how you make it so the backdrop & base looks black when you add lightings?

Why a non Signature FD3S is more expensive than a licensed AE86 Initial D?

Is the FD3S Signature? Don't think so.

buy from amiami if you on budget.

So expensive...

if you really like ma buy from amiami lo. no need always support local dealers even though it's good for the industry sometimes have to look out for your pocket also.

1st batch already released many months ago, you never email them?

the water drops look too big.

Kinokuniya has quite some model cars on display, dunno the brand but they use Leather base, most of them on display are 1/18, no. 1 of 50, price rm1.6 and above, got ferrarri, GT-R 34 Nismo Z, 35, 2000GT, i think most of the doors are sealed but panel lined and flip headlights are also sealed.

The Interior looks superb but lack of movement parts & price i think the QC riddled Autoart is still a better choice.

Kinokuniya is more than a book shop. They sell million years old fossil rocks & gems.

But for the model cars i think it's a promotion event.

Borders also sell more than just books.

Knowing what some China people would do, I'm surprised nobody took the cars like it's Buffet session like the Butterfly event.

Watch out when you guys decide to keep the car in the display case, Plastic don't react well with rubber tyres and after sometime the rubber will either melt & fuse with the plastic base, or the rubber will melt the plastic base leaving a trail, should the tyre come in direct contact with the plastic base.

I just noticed one of the 1/43 cars somehow have the rubber touching the base abit, luckily it was the base that melted the tyre is still round but got small line crack already.

I have a bike sitting in one of those plastic case, the rubber pretty much fused with the plastic, bottom is now flat due to the weight of the bike sitting on it. I'm guessing the fluid composition in the rubber ends up reacting with the top layer of the plastic.

well tyre going flat on weight is different from fusing together with plastic materials. yes they pretty much fused together due to chemical reaction between the rubber & plastic.

even putting transparent plastic or plastic bag against leather materials, the glossy part of the plastic will catch on the leather which are usually matte.

most of the 1/43 & 1/18 cars usually have a small gap between the tyre & base, but this 1/43 was different the rubber was touching the case but not very hard, left a tyre mark on the base though.

i usually cut a white board in I shape to match the bottom chassis & wheelbase.
