yeahhh! near my house!!! but i will be back to hometown for qingming... T_T

hi..... fellow trofosi...

to celebrate the release of yellow enzo and f1 2008 model tomorrow..

i give u this..... my own custom paint fxx...

start this little project when i wonder how this model will look like if in black paint.. so took out my tamiya acrylic paint and after 3 hours of work.
it is a bit difficult when come to masking the tiny white strips and all the tiny puny ferrari logos... had to hold my 'nafas' when painting those area..
and because i cant give a spray a base coat before apply the semi gloss black, due to those logos and strips already there.. if not the end results will be much better.

anyway.. happy with the black 'Schumi' FXX evolution now.. since this year FXX model is a bit plain when compare with 2008 model..
and if you look closely to my attached photos... you will realised i do custom paint the 2008 version also.. ( give it a black head lights, black semi gloss rim, and painted side air ventilation hole )
- reason is i really don't like fxx with silver rims.. tak cukup tough look... hehehe

well... hope u guys enjoy the custom... happy hunting!

Well done... nice paint job.

nice work mate

Did anyone bought the playmat?
Does it comes with a box or something?

Just a plastic playmet with some paper cut-outs.
Don't think it comes with a box ?

[/quote]

is there really a official garage other than that RM60 which is selling now??? me heard nothing about it until today. wish it is true...

will start a repaint of the 612 soon... because the grey plastic bodyframe is sooooo ugly... really tak boleh tahan..

and my opinion here... for those who still keep their car nicely in the box.. for the purpose of collection.. pls... if can take em out for display or at least experience the special features abit... rather then plan to keep em in 5 to 10 years and wait for the collector prices to go up...

why do i say this..? is because after i get on hold this collection for quite a while now.. i can feel that the overall material (the plastic and the rubber tyres) is really in bad quality.. especially the tyres.. will definitely start to decal say after 5 years (keluar minyak) + our local weather is extremely humid lately = increase the speed of decay.

so my point is.. since these car price is not costing your fortune to get it... play with them now.. rather than regret in later years by letting em spoil just like that... very sayang one..

just my 2 cents... not to offend anyone thoughts.

That's so fast.

I haven't even do my "homework" yet...)d
Anyway, thanks jimlhj76 for sharing those pictures and some tips with us.

(PS: So now we know what to do with the "extras" Ferrari(s) of the same model )

but i dun hav such paint..where can i get those paint? n how do DIY?mind share some tips?

nowadays tamiya's acrylic paint is a bit hard to get... but i still see a model shop at 1 utama new wing underground shop selling em.. each bottle is around RM17.90...

toycity also got sell.. but their colour range is mostly not complete.

happy DIY!!

Picked up the F2008 today... Well, I would rate it the most descent model of Ferrari Shell 1:38 so far (since it first release)... Those of you who have not got one, pls go grab one now, before it beyond your reach!!

bought the RM60 display "garage"..

the size is decent & i'm actually going to have it display my gundam model kits..
BUT.. the sticker on the base.. plus removing the stands leaves big holes on it
not to mention golden plates of ferrari models glued to it..
if must remove then hv to remove the whole checked flag sticker..

So, the yellow enzo is EXACTLY the same with last year one? Except the box?

just got both the F2008 and the Yellow Enzo earlier today as well and yes, it's exactly the same one with last year INCLUDING the box

great....i would be getting mine say today as well.

Anyone willing to sell their Yellow 599 GTB Fiorano PM me!!!
I'm interested...
Just collected all 7 cars... except the yellow 599 GTB Fiorano....

my collection until now..
sorry for low quality pic

Means, the box also last year packaging? Haha. Really take out the old stock. Then for those who bought it last year, no need buy already. Then the next promo, we might able to buy the current yellow 599 GTB Fiorano as well.
