QUOTE(Jasonist @ Apr 29 2008, 08:53 PM) 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.

QUOTE(juzz4carz @ May 3 2008, 11:21 PM) 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.

QUOTE(sleepy @ May 4 2008, 11:15 PM) Hey guys, I need some help here. Anyone here can tell me where to get these diecasts? : Anybrand McLaren SLR Anybrand Lamborghini Murcielago Kyosho BMW E92 M3 Kyosho BMW E65/66 7 series Kyosho BMW E60 M5 Hope you guys can give me some info, coz I wanted these but cant even find them  Thanks in advance  Regarding the E65/E66 7 Series, I think BTS store should have it in store as their shipment was in on 3rd May 2008. It's not the normal 760Li though. This is the Hydrogen 7 which has slightly different equipment from the normal 760Li. Exterior wise, they are the same, pop up the engine hood, the Hydrogen 7's engine is slightly different from the 760Li. Trunk wise, the Hydrogen 7's trunk is a lot smaller than the regular 760Li. It all depends on you at the end of the day. Both have a foldable TV monitor in the central console, and a foldable central armrest for the rear.

QUOTE(cam5229 @ May 28 2008, 09:10 AM) i like the Audi Q7.....AA brand?? I would have to say that it is not made by AutoArt or any other famous brands. But I can say that it is quite detailed. QUOTE(skylinegtr34rule4life @ May 28 2008, 09:50 AM) The scale for these cars are not 1:24 but 1:43.

QUOTE(Jasonist @ Jun 11 2008, 09:05 PM) aurion: well... u can target on different location...  ur from kk ya? gosh i wonder if u can take ur model shots on the mount kinabalu i think tis gonna be a huge break through in diecast photoshoot history haha... Yes I am from KK. Well on the mountains maybe not just yet. I need to do proper training before I can go up and it depends on the weather too.. Cannot just go anytime, as there are some months which allow us to climb. If take picture on Mt Kinabalu, the only car that I can think of taking a photo there is the Porsche Cayenne tailored by Porsche Exclusive.

Mondo's definitely has better build quality and details. They have windows and brake callipers which Bburago doesn't have. Unfortunately, Bburago is the only one available in Malaysia unless you get the Mondo's off internet stores.

QUOTE(Jasonist @ Jul 24 2008, 10:05 PM) aurion: is the X5 from Bburago? nice try on the outdoor shots there... It sure is from Bburago. Took the shots early yeasterday morning before heading to the office. Background's over exposed due to improper aperture settings  . Will get another one ot the same X5 to customise it a bit  . Thinking between a silver or the same blue. QUOTE(AMG_soh @ Jul 24 2008, 11:03 PM) QUOTE(THT United Gadgets @ Jul 24 2008, 11:45 PM) Wow, really looks like a real car at first... Nice photo-shooting!  Thanks for the comments guys. Engine detail and interior detail is satisfactory, perhaps can be detailed a wee bit more. As for the build quality, overall satisfactory with the exception of the rear tail lights the silver strip is not painted straight on the right tail light. Tailgate door (boot) does not stay fully open. Will come back down quarter to half way after pushing it open to the max it can go. Well. Got to save up for the KY X5 4.8i also.
