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 icon_question.gif

juzz4carz: hehe thanks for compliment! biggrin.gif 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... sad.gif

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! nod.gif

Thanks for the pointers. I don't have any special photography lights - only the good ol' sun, lampu putih panjang and camera flash tongue.gif
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? thumbup.gif ). 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...

Added on May 4, 2008, 11:46 pmEhh are we juniors limited to some number of photos we can post? I tried to put all my colection photos but only managed one car. How? hmm.gif

Can you proud owners of HW F430 Scuderia tell me where I can find it and how much did you buy it for? Damn fine this one drool.gif !!!

Jasonist: Solido C4 WRC is one great looking car. I'm looking for Mitsubishi Pajero MPR12 Dakar Rally

zefflodo: fully cf car ah? ermm.. then u should look into the Ford GT test car ler...

but this car aint cheap yo... sweat.gif

sleepy: hihi did u receive my pm as well? hope u got the pm too... happy.gif enjoy ur collection!

mchw08: as far as i know, i didnt spot any hotwheels lambo in malaysia le... but yes, hotwheels did produce lambo, try google for it...
user posted image
Hotwheels Lamborghini Diablo GTR from http://www.lamborghinistuff.com/index.html...html&lang=en-us

if u go for budget collectibles, maisto n bburago should be available in major departmental stores... i oso expect the reventons should be mass available in malaysia soon, hopefully... when ur passion runs high, u can go for hi end quality from autoart...

defect is sth we can avoid de... its really hard for us to get a model which is perfectly 100% fine... but very tiny little scratch can still be acceptable... but not broken side mirrors, broken rear spoiler, or even headlights fall out etc... those are unacceptable... i ever saw an f1 car which the rear wing is broken n its even sold for RM229 doh.gif to check for broken parts, try shake the box to hear if there are any sound... if no sound means there no broken parts then should be a green light to purchase tat model... nod.gif

i do take care of them, sometimes even better than my real car that I can actually drive to work and stuff...but that day I was in a hurry before the sun set, so wipe sikit2 je lah....I like them to be on their display stand esp the ones with model name. The downside is it takes more space.

that ford gt is a real looker....that's my long time target....along with nsx gzox jgtc chrome, bmw 3 series wtcc, f430 scuderia, pajero dakar.....hooo the list grows all the time....pokai lorr... rclxub.gif
one more, minichamps mclaren chrome all round drool.gif

Re defects, try to open and inspect the model up close and personal. Most of the time the salesman will have no problem with this. Remember in a way this is an investment. It could be worth a lot more 20 years down the road . Here's hoping... biggrin.gif

It's the wide body and massive wing that made me buy this...
If you want one I have the racing version (new) for sale, PM me...

It would have been better if you could open the door etc...sealed means they don't have to craft the engine bay...save cost... tongue.gif
Still the interior is very detail. On the plus side you don't get dust on the inside...

r u sure that sealed body is save cost?

such as at ToyCity, those AA Japan GT car is like Rm 500!!

that did not know what the mean of sealed body, then put the price high..

// anyone can put exact price when this item arrived previous year?

crazy..  rclxub.gif

I meant save cost for the manufacturer (maybe..?) but for seller it's a different story....
For me sealed is fine coz i don't display mine with the doors opened...so makes no difference for me..
Any collector worth his salt will never get their AAs from Toycity...they'd wring us dry shakehead.gif
Nikko has indeed raised their prices for all new stocks. Last week they called me up offering the new Lancer WRC for about RM480. Heh...where got money????

Roughly by how much? And the name of the shop in BTS?

I'm selling mine to pay for other models I'm interested in. Save money sikit, only top up the difference. So somebody pls take the Integra off my hands. thumbup.gif Other models I'm selling are brand new in box, as I'm a small time seller too...trying to make some dough.........

gwc: wahh man u giving up on diecasts? what else do u have left? care to list them here so they can find new homes? i'm particularly interested in AA, Kyosho and Minichamps.

went to kyosho bts today. used to ignore this brand but after seeing shots on this forum and looking at the models at bts i'm a now a fan. but they don't have a lot of choice there lah.

myke: take those shots quickly, we can't wait!!!! drool.gifdrool.gif
anyone has the m6 moto gp safety car model? that's a cool one too...

my next target is between minichamps 2006 mclaren hamilton (nikko selling for 360 but they don't know when it'll arrive. anyone knows any alternative?) or AA porsche 997 gt3 cup vip porsche design hmm.gif hope to get one next month

hi i'm new here, been collecting both diecast & plastic models since i was small. Just that some of them were lost due to bad memories and mom ( she always think toys = wasting of money, lucky i hav dad on my side at least).
welcome dude it's always good to have new guys joining in...do post more pictures of yr collection...

jasonist: woowweeee.....nice gallardo...this colour and the orange one are the best i think....no doubt from AA.... thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

guys is it okay if i post some pictures of binaltech transformers robots on this forum? reasons being they are diecasts, they are based on actual car and the details and quality are very good, even better than some brands out there... icon_rolleyes.gif
