bleeding like this???? but mine is rim bleeding


payed RM15 for a 1/43 7-8 years ago is aint cheap...this happened anyway its china brand.....dunno wot brand .....not shown at base

so far my 575 GTC was ok in the case for 2 months but must let it breath sometimes. bad news for me again, i was doin safety check this morning, took all models out of cabinet and found out my AA Merc CL Klasse which is sitting on a glass shelf have tyres mark on it!! summore it's wet mark but very minimal. luckily the tyres are ok i think its the same liquid as Jasonist's 350Z. getting worried

1 problem to another is when checking my Hotworks AE86, found this image attached below.
BEFORE

AFTER

paint blistering/bubbles!!

i was told by spikey sifu tat polish the models b4 keep in box so tat the paint will last longer & protected. so far i'm the only 1 who had so much problem.. i felt like quitting this hobby!

zefflodo: the wheel does look awful... well perhaps its the temperature is the cause of this... sometimes we do need to rotate the wheels from time to time otherwise it will stuck there and wont rotate anymore...

myke: aiksss... for ur CL, i guess u need to rotate the wheels from time to time le... if u didnt jack up the car, meaning the car weight depends on the wheels, some more the heat/humid can harm the tyres... luckily u manage to spot it fast...

also, for ur ae86 case, i do find mine has similar problem like urs... but the blisters are very tiny... weird is tat there are two types of surface on the ae86, the white part is smooth glossy while the black painted part is kinda like matt surface... do u store ur initial d model in the box or display in the cabinet?

don worry man, lets share experience and opinions here lor... perhaps we juz need some effort in dealing this problem, juz like how we treat our real cars...

talking bout bubbles my trasformers got bubbles!!!!!

my initial D is in display cabinet, if look from far u wont notice the blisters but as for collectors like us, we wish the very perfect condition to every models, if not taken care well, diecasting will not be happy & meaningless anyway thanks for the alert & experience from u guys. as for my real car oso dun care much coz its national car

huh?.. i tot transformer kit is made from plastic? if bubbles mean melting oh. where do u store it?

nope some transformer is made from metal........

well no problem man... juz to exchange and share experience here lor... as cham said, no models are in perfect condition, no matter how good we take care of the car models, they will wear off in the test of time, weather and temperature, especially here in malaysia where temperature is amazingly hot yet humid... i think its considered to be a huge achievement for us as we are still able to maintain the cars in good shape till now... so far my collection is still ok, its juz only wat i encountered last night bout the liquidized tyres...

talking bout my case, heres an update... im currently storing the 350z back to its box now coz i fear for the tyres to continue liquidize and would affect other models in the cabinet... but for now, the tyres have stopped "bleeding" le...


back to the box


the glossy rubber tyre

hope u guys do take good care of the tyres too, besides the blistering problem on the body paint... especially if the temperature is hot and humid, then u gotta pay more attention to the tyres, check them frequently to avoid any problems like wat i faced last night...

jasonist.. salah tempat u post lah

yeap
some are cool...........but you should only consider tomical limited or matchbox
they are cool for the price......ah!!

now i am waiting to open the twin pack hotworks blitz d1 er34 !!

hmm u know i kinda want to start buy my favret models too but reading here it seems like so many things and probs need to take care of?
scare dy..huhuhu

is like suggesting just keep in box all the time instead of display outside

demonicle: haha paiseh i re edit le

cham2020: lovely... im looking for the twinpack here too but still cant find... if happen to see them here, i will not hesitate to get it... limited edition eh...

contact tkt , he sure have..........


the parcels
parcel 1 : 8 james bond cars, one tomica limited nissan gtr, one tomica limited civic type r, and some misc HW and a Tomica?
parcel 2 : blitz twinpack er34, a lottery tomica mitsubishi minica
parcel 3: some hotwheels that i traded sometime with a vietnam collector

parcel 4: after two months..... from canada again.......2 model kits + 3 small tokyo drift cars

well... if u maintain them well, i guess shouldnt be any problem le... its like how we take care of the plants, we need to water them daily... for diecast, we juz need to check the condition daily, juz to make sure everything is ok... if we find any unusual situation happen, of coz immediate actions will be taken... juz take note: temperature and humidity problem is the main issue to focus on diecast collection...

its all depend on u... if u willing to spend huge in diecast models, u will have the responsibility to maintain them lor... after all, this is juz hobby n a way of spending our free time...
