from wat i compare to 1/24 n 1/18 oso, 1/24 looks a bit well coz the tyres are not tat low profile... the tyres are quite thick n fat for the 1/24 de... but the 1/18 is perfect with much visible low profile tyres... the only thing we need to add is the window glass... transparent sheets can help i guess...

Agreed but from what I see as well, the tail lights cluster, 1:24's looks slightly better than the 1:18, in terms of the detail. Yes side windows are a must .. to make this model perfect along with suspension . I found out that Mondo Motors 1:18 version of the Reventon has the side windows and brake calipers.

hello, wanna ask something, anyone know where can buy the Perodua Myvi car model. I want to get one and paint it to give my friend as a gift as my fren just bought a new Myvi.

As far as i know, there aren't any MyVi models in the market.

great great great!!! finally i manage to get one of the most awaited models in 2008!!! teaser pics first... proper shots coming soon... hopefully this is the first reventon to land on the shore of sarawak...

best you can get is a Passo model, smaller size i think it's a 1:39 or 1:43.

Found out that my Lexus GS430 side mirror is broken. suspect that my house's weekly maid broke it and didn't say a thing about it. (door mirror has cracked as well)

Told them not to touch still wanna touch...haiz...

jasonist walao....banyak rich....

nice car dudes... so where is to place to buy the moedel?? mostly i m see r all looks like fake..

bearbear: sorry to hear tat too... but can it be fixed? i think u can try to glue it back if its putus, meaning tat the joint can be glued back again...

zefflodo: after this purchase no more rich le... resting continues...

Shamanwee: yes... the models u mention which look fake might be those u saw in major departmental stores, but those are budget collectibles, so the quality should be ok since its under a quite reasonable price... if u would like to go to high end diecasts, u can head to Nikko Midvalley, Kyosho BTS, Tamiya Underground at One Utama to check out these models... they aint cheap but the quality is no doubt... these models come from autoart, kyosho, minichamps, BBR, Hotworks, Tamiya (for its 1/12 scale models), these are the high end diecast models i know here in malaysia...

i did have one cheap remote control subaru which i make some wide body,bonnet and bumper... all custom made and is make from fibre...i will upload the photo and share wif u all...cheers

Wow nice cars and photoshop skill you guys have, really enjoy seeing them photo here. .

Am a collector in the 1/64 scale, not much on 1/18. Also got the 1/18 REVENTON from uncle in summit, great guy.

cheers

Hi all,
Wow great to see a lot of interest in diecasts. Great photos all of you, especially Jasonist. Schweeetttt!!!!!! I'm a relatively new collector and I go mainly with 1/18 and 1/43 racing cars. I think they look better than their road car counterparts. All my collections so far are AAs. Any of you have 1/18 Solido brand? How is the quality? AA/MC/Kyosho standard or Burago/HW territory?
Jasonist, how do u take damn nice pictures? Do u use 'normal' digicam or professional type? I wanna learn so I can post nice pictures of my collection. Saya budak baru belajar

where to buy decent looking die cast BMW M3?

Shamanwee: great! hope to see ur shots in times to come!

mchw08: so hows ur comment on the reventon? is there lot of stock there?

juzz4carz: hehe thanks for compliment! its nice to see more collectors here in the thread... so mind to share ur experience in diecast collecting? wat models u have there currently? solido i did hear it but never spot any here in malaysia... im interested in their Citroen C4 WRC, Sebastian Loeb's model, but too bad i cant get any here in malaysia...

bout the pics, i juz try to do reference on those car magazine, n try it on the models lor... i don have digicam currently, juz use vdeocam to shoot nia, so image quality is not tat good de... try to pay attention on 3 things when u photoshoot - lighting, camera focus n zooming... tis is wat i learn so far in car model photography... do try urself!

alimony: try Kyosho BTS to see if they still have M3 CSL n GTR... coz last time when i visited there i spotted both of these models, but it was bout a year ago le...

Thanks for the pointers. I don't have any special photography lights - only the good ol' sun, lampu putih panjang and camera flash
So better do it during the day la kot... when I try at night even under white light, the result not very good lah, hampeh....

Now my tiny collection consists only Subaru WRC 2005 Monte Carlo Solberg, Nissan 350Z Xanavi JGTC, BMW M3 GTR Le Mans plain version and Integra Type R (this one's for sale, anybody wants it? ). All 1/18 AA. I do agree with everyone that they cost a bomb but I guess when you gotta have it, you gotta have it...

You don't need those fancy photography lights and camera flash to take good pictures. Best to go with natural lighting. Try playing around with the camera's white balance, instead of auto, dry different settings such as fluorescent, sunlight, incandescent, etc... different white balance settings will have different effects. Shutter speed and aperture settings also play an important role.. the slower the shutter speed, the brighter the image will be but be careful of over exposure where things start to turn pretty white.
