if you wan realistic disc brake, can try photoetch parts
superb realistic.. metal finish

i was thinking the same thing also.

real collector
you might want to use a brush to clear off dust...

jasonist
don't know it this will work
take off the tyre and then try to heat it from a distance and push back the middle part.

you have lights install in ur cabinets?

i don't think your tyres are melting
they just shrunk...from what i observe from your photo....

put it near a warm area and from inner of the tyre
slowly push it outside....might work.....


that's wierd, no lights should be OK. i thought you have lights that might cause tyres to melt
mind taking photo of the rear spoiler?

well, superglue is a good way
but don't apply too many..use a toothpick to handle it...

jasonist,
i think the part broke off cause of maybe the glue that was use to fix it was way 'dried out'.. just a little super glue will be fine

jasonist,
my hippo works fine with me. my models with rubber tyres all are perfectly OK. so zeff, you don't use hippo so don't simply say the EFFECT of it. it only absorb water vapours...

read properly
i did mention using a toothpick for it

guys, i don't know why what happen to your collections till can have lots of problems?

mine is perfectly OK after putting hippo, FYI, the room is 100% non ventilated and 90% of the time, the lights are off...............

last time no hippo, got bubble

well, another possibility that i can think of is that QC problem

there ain't any perfect models. that's why i am kind of piss off with some people that autoart are kings. sorry to say this but you know who i am refering to. anyway, what i mean is my models are at another house which is meant for storing things. most of the time the windows and doors are shut that's why it's non ventilated. till now i have lots of cars in box that are still perfect in their paintjob. i never bother about the temperature in the room as i spend most of my time at uni....

you perasan lah.. i didn't say you also
but honestly i am not refering to you lah
