in conjunction with the upcoming CNY... here i post red red with the red enzo in 'China'...





















BULLS AHEAD...

gha4: thanks! nth to jealous my fren... i guess its the matter of time for u... ur collection will grow n by tat time u will gonna get a decent camera for ur photoshoot sessions...

JtuneD: thanks man! hope the composition is right...

AMG_soh: thanks! happy CNY to u!

kabuto rider kick: yea... juz focus it right i think the result will be juz fine...

hokuan: well, of coz its kinda risky... better don put it under direct sunlight for a long time... tat will cause damage to the paint... so i cover it with a cloth when i try to look for a good spot for photoshoot... and better choose a time when sunlight is not tat strong lor...

twtang: nais... SGD180 should be standard price sold there...

shakz7: thanks! n yup, its a Hotwheels... cant afford BBR though...

yea... still no news bout it... btw perhaps u can try check this out since they have updates from time to time... http://maisto.wordpress.com

myke: haha thanks! well, still ok lar... coz i pick the time when not many ppl in the park... only some wedding couples for photoshoot session...

-vip3rleon9-: sweet lambo duo there!!! finally ur shots are released... i can say ur touch ups are very nice indeed... making the pics pretty sharp with some Top Gearish effect... do u have any specific software to do it?

JtuneD: same to u bro... have a safe journey ahead!

kabuto rider kick: great attempt there... do u find the bburago reventon is smaller size compared to normal 1/18 scale cars?

leroy87: hey ur shots are nice too lar... especially the 3rd one with dried plants...

twtang: tats a real bling bling audi tt eh...

sorry to tell u guys tat im unable to get the GTR before CNY... a disappointment though... anyway, my lambo combo shots


















MAY THE BULL/OX BRING PROSPER TO UR DIECAST COLLECTION AND UR WALLET!

GONG XI FA CAI to all diecasters in malaysia... i have a pleasant first day of the CNY... hows urs?

lovely shots there kabuto... seems tat u improve very fast on ur shooting skill... first one is my choice... anyway, don think mondo is available here... unless u bought it from singapore or other countries le...

goodness me... wats scale size is ur supra, rx7 n nsx??? pretty rare sight there... if not wrong, kyosho rx-7 in 1/18 should have different rims eh... nice nice!

btw how u package ur diecast models when bringing them over to taiwan? do u screw them back in the box one by one? n do u use hand-carry luggage? i would like to know bout this coz i might wana bring one of my 1/18 scale car model to oversea...

oic... thanks for the idea! btw i tot by screwing it to the base will stablize the car, since it leaves certain distance away from the box surface... and by wrapping up the car, will the side mirrors be affected? and especially the cars with antenna, how to deal with tat le?

wow... sounds pro regarding the packaging though... do u know where to buy bubble wrap from? guess its not easy to bring a diecast model oversea since the custom has to inspect everything eh...

Blank19: haha we are still in cny mood i suppose...

saru88: haha if i were living in KL then this will be nice... so according to ur info, shops tat sell stamps could sell bubble wraps eh... the stamp u mean is chopping stamp ma?

gha4: lolzzz... well, all things must come to an end... but after tat, we will be waiting for the next holiday mah...

saru88: yup, guess i have to look for these shops and check it out...

REALCollector: wow Petronas Tom's... tats a very great haul REAL! from ebbro??? i saw this one during last year's Super GT eh... however they didnt let us see their show girls during the photoshooting session... btw do u unscrew ur diecast models for display or keep them to sit on the base?

ericmaxman: never know a white produced by Maisto... n 1/24??? looks nice in white, especially the contrast with the carbon fibre sideblade... thanks for sharing!

REALCollector: nice! u should now have all the Super GT500 marvels eh... Supra, 350z, SC430, GTR, NSX! oh ya, u do need to let them breathe from time to time... and since they are 1/43 scale, i think its easier to look after eh... oso, if possible, put in some hippo to suck the humidity le...

JtuneD: interesting stuff... guess theres another alternative for GTR lovers for affordable priced models... thanks for info!

myke: wow... u paint the wheels??? did u paint the interior oso??? looks new eh... btw does the F50 has nuts on the wheels? pretty smooth job there! looking for more shots from u...

oh ya guys, suddenly this idea came out from my mind... i was thinking we could have alternative to protect the tyres from display in the cabinet... if u think to jack up the models will spoil the display view, u can try to put in some anti-slip rubber mat on the cabinet surface, which u can buy from car accessories shop... so u don have to jack up the cars anymore, juz directly place the car on the rubber mat... i think the soft rubber mat can reduce the weight force of the tyres though...

REALCollector: yea... bout the white paint, theres nth much we can do bout it... perhaps sucking off the humidity may reduce the risk, but it will still turn yellowish slowly... i feel tat my evo6 starts to get yellowish a bit le... n here u go, this is the hippo suckers i refer to...





i think ur place should have sold this eh? u can oso get them in 3 pack or separately..

ericmaxman: nice collection there! thanks for sharing...

saru88: i guess shouldnt be worry too much for the next 2 - 3 years (depends on how u maintain the car from time to time)... coz the GTR white is not an ordinary solid white color, its pearl metallic white, so metallic colors should be able to last longer compared to solid colors...

myke: awesome... so ur f50 lightweight should be the one n only on earth eh... nice le, u can now match it with the f40 lightweight liao! job well done!

lolzzz... after the cny mood, looks like the heat is on with pics! lets juz increase the heat eh... btw heres a teaser first! i assure u tat there are more pics to come before i head to oversea...

REALCollector: wow is tat SLR from autoart? didnt see ur photoshoot on tat one before eh... yup, a rally car indeed, lolzzz looks like ur really into motorsport business eh...

tkt: do u have the 5 door version of tat Honda Civic? if got, im interested eh... thanks!

akid: those are very nice evo parking groupshots!!! im sure cham2020 will be excited now...

ok guys, you have got the right answer... if ur a WRC fan, this wont be any problem at all... here are the pics too bad this model is a sealed body, so no interior n engine bay shots... have a pleasure view!

Part I : Citroen C4 WRC of Sebastian Loeb



















next up, Part Finale

wow... awesome stuff! n thanks man! guess the arrival of the C4 is the same as here eh... but i can say the price sold in Nikko is way to expensive... unless they give 10% discount then it may become normal price only... n omg the murcie is on sale in nikko now... i should have missed another opportunity le...

bout the Lewis, i see some other Mclaren boxes behind.. new arrival eh??? mind to expose wat models are those behind one?

Chapter Finale : C4 WRC from the Champion of Champions - Loeb

thanks kabuto... well, getting Loeb's C4 is the best WRC collection choice currently, since he's been winning all these seasons since 2004... and oso got the title of being the Champion of Champions in the Race of Champions last year... the 2007 C4 is much meaningful for collection coz its the first year tat Loeb drive this new car n he still manage to win the championship despite the strong rivalry with Marcus Gronholm...

talk bout Nikko Atria, i dono how to tell u on how to go there since im not from KL... however i been there for 3 times... its inside a shopping centre called Wisma Atria Damansara Jaya, surrounded by shophouses... if not wrong, Giant supermarket is inside there as well... i usually go there by LRT to last station in Kelana Jaya, then take a cab to there...
