Hi REALCollector!
Thanks for the compliment. Some of the cars in my old collection is not in its perfect condition. The only problem i have experienced is that the paint of the chrome parts on the models fading (Especially on the Porsche 356's wheels). I think its because of the air, dust and most probably because I used to touch those chrome parts a lot (As I was little that time). I keep my models clean by cleaning the model's surface by using wet cloth, as for the small holes and gaps, I clean it by using a paint brush. Those are the only tips that I can give you. Of course My latest models in the boxes doesn't face any problems, I just have to keep the boxes clean from dust.
By the way, do you know where I can get a 1/18 display case? I need one very badly for my Exoto Porsche 935 which I had just gotten 3 days ago. I know there's alot from ebay and it doesn't cost much, but the postage price is sick. Around 45$!
I recently customize some display casing with an advertisement shop, costing me Rm38 each, quality is not top notch but acceptable for me as hotwheels are selling Rm1xx each the last time i asked tkt.Thanks for the compliment.

Try looking out for those shops that deal with advertisement board and etc, if you're around Subang i can recommend the shop to you
