jchue73, yup it sure was and I was not worried of any damages at all as it was hand carried. Aiya.. these cars portray speed, muscle and handsome that's why. Girls cars should be given to cars which look cute such as the VW Beetle, Smart ForTwo.. etc.. Hahaha.. That's just me I guess.

jchue: nice MP4/23, wat scale is that btw?

Thank you once again for the compliments, myke. The background is a clubhouse of a reknowned resort in Kota Kinabalu. In front of the clubhouse is a marina, where members can park their boats, yatchs etc. Will take some marina shots during the day with some of my other cars.

aurion: You're in KK? No wonder near to HK.

kabuto: It's 1/43 scale.

Yup I am in KK.. I've got a relative in Hong Kong and friends of my friends who are there too. I quite like your F1 car.. looks like a limited edition

jchue73: whoa... u really hardcore... haha... 3 packages oso F1? faster reveal ur monsters in the box!

aurion: Lucky you. Me got no relative in HK. Yeah, the MP4-23 is a limited edition.

saru88: Not all F1 leh. The first package cannot reveal ! Top secret.

Photos of Aaron, the Audi R8 taken at the same place as Ramone. Enjoy

jchue73: Walau! tai ko... you are collecting like no tomorrow ... hey, don't buy all the good diecast out there... do keep for us ...
- that Hamilton cost a bomb! - if not mistaken - it's a manufacturer limited edition...

I got this one instead...


Baronzemo: haha no doubt Real Collector has unlimited knowledge of race cars in his head... anything about racing can juz seek for his views!
Pai sei la!.. I'm just beginner in motorsports just share with you guys what I read over the web... Do correct me if I'm wrong....

DTM 2008 Champion: Timo Scheider


My favorite SuperGT model - Wedsport IS350:

Le Mans 24 HR - Audi R10


Myke & Jason: Yeap! I'm away from my home for nearly two months... now feeling home sick... miss my sweethearts and my 1/43 collections... wanna complete my project here ASAP and go home immediately...

About the new items... nothing special... most of you guys already have them in 1/18... will post them once back to Malaysia.

Aurion: Your collection also growing fast... nice R8 and Lambos... hey, try to custom build a custom Lambo service center or showroom... I saw one collector out there... probably a Filipino, who spent 2 mths to complete his Lambo Service center... very impressive... try to find some photos over the weekend.

Kiloweya: Aiyo! if you really worry about the tyre melting issues, do switch on your Air-Corn 24/7 ... sure no problem...

Feel sorry for Tai Ko tkt too, I apologize... hope you find other source already...

Hey RC, I should say that these models are irresistable. You look at them, you get the urge to buy. I would try to make a diorama of what you suggested provided I can clear some space in my room. Whereabouts are you now? Out of Malaysia for quite a while eh.. Meaning that you have a chance to buy more cars back .

anyone here have problem wit their diecast rear tires? as in the camber opening bigger d.. cause the car is too heavy(maybe) and is left displayed. the suspension(?) howevr become soft and the rear tires looks like "terkangkang" .. this happened to my maisto merc CLS.. cause that car is heavy and the rear wheels is like gonna pop off.

My CLS still appears to be fine

wow seems like the diecast thread now really picking up speed hehe, keep the pictures coming guys.....hehehe

aurion: looking at ur Audi R8, making me feel like throwing my Maisto R8 in to the dustbin...

aurion: Your Ramone very dashing ! Hope he gets another matey.


RealCollector: We have the same car !







Miss home huh... You got a R35? Didin't realise that the Audi A4 is really nice and good looking.


leroy87: Perhaps put a support underneath the base of the model just enough that the wheels are touching the surface...


saru88: Please throw your Maisto R8 towards my direction !

aurion: another charming Aaron! looks like he on the way to clubbing

REALCollector: could it be a HPI GT-R R35? please come home soon

saru88: dont throw away budget diecast, they are good for modding.. just put some effort to it.

jchue73: u're Lewis/Mclaren Mercedes hardcore fan! i wanna join too
pics spam



p/s: i wanna know your top secret haul

Haha thank you, Myke. Indeed He's on his way to turn some heads

myke & quiksilve: I hate you guys ! I show a 1/43 scale and you come out with 1/18 ! Some more Team Edition MP4-23 !

Eh quiksilve, your Mp4-23 packaging is wrong if I'm not mistaken. Why is the background cardboard different? It should say Vodafone McLaren Mercedes like myke's. BTW, nice one on Kimi's MP4-21. In some angles, I actually prefer the Johnny Walker livery than the current one. Actually, I'm looking for this one and the interim orange livery but it seems quite difficult to find at the right price.
