I let the Lambo out of the box again. The side mirrors have sign of fading....but its OK, i can repaint them ..

nice one cham! seldom see this color of Gallardo on sale le... perhaps an italian police car to match ur lambo collection would be perfect

got 2 news to share today, went to visit a scalper hobby shop and he sells this...! the Jada Toys version of 1/18 is damn huge compared to other standard 1/18 scale models...


and this... check out the price guys... i can buy a WRC car from autoart with a cheaper price than tat!


then an update of my 350z melting tyre... it keeps on melting from time to time... i decide to use tissue paper and put it under the tyres juz to prevent the fluid from flowing on the surface base...

jada size are not accurate jasonist. i have one 1/24 evo of jada and it's huge compare to my 1/24 evo models kits.

oh my god, still melting ? sorry to hear that, can' help this time. just hope will have a solution.

LMAO !! that price? my friend want to sell me RM 80 only. but that was years ago la. scalpers shops sucks man! toycity is one of them. another new scalper in the making is toy master

yup... so currently the only way is the use of tissue to hold the melting fluid... tis aa 350z s-tune really has QC problem... bout the italia police car, mayb next time u shouldnt miss tat chance when u happen to spot it...

this maybe a noob solution but myb u can dry it using a hairdryer? no harm in trying..

it wont dry for long, after a period of time it will create tat fluid again...

i hv a similar problem with 1 of my watches last time.. where u display your cars? is it hot & humid there? if it's in an A/C room.. i'm also baffled..

i was displaying in the cabinet with other aa models... the temperature should be ok as i did switch on aircon from time to time... i oso prevent sunlight to enter the room by closing the curtains during daytime... i guess its aa QC problem with tat particular model since other aa models are still in condition...

ur 350z is maisto's?
get a new 1 from Toys'r'Us 1Utama ler... i saw 1 more left there... hehe...
perhaps this 1 the QC better...

nop... Autoart de... i guess the Maisto version would be better since the tyres look more durable...

wow... AA got this kinda prob? really never heard n encountered b4...
perhaps really jz the QC only...

there's another batch of QC problem with autoart models
the evo vii...paint oxidation

paint oxidation??? u mean bubbles ma? i juz checked mine, the bonnet part start to have some little bubbles!

yeap
paint oxidation is bubbles
my autoart evo viii doors and bonnet........ OMG
even my philiphine's friend evo vii rally and street also have
both autoarts

QC problem..cant do much bout it, it's the matter of time this will occur & just bear with it, tat's what i told myself.
mayb once a while do some polishing work could help. oredi 2 months since my 1st polish

my Kyosho F40 oredi infected by cancer. just waiting if they will release a new batch, then i might sell away cheap price

i am in the first to buy ur kyosho ferrari if you letting go
i wan make something special

waiseh... so fast got offer liao eh? izit the F40 Lightweight ma?

Waiting for the F430 Scud (they're plastic btw)... or mayb I'll just go with the kyosho 1:43s

cham2020: alright, will put u in my list.

Jasonist: yeap, its the F40 LW version, heartbreak

Pepperboy: i'm waiting F430 Scuderia too.. even though is plastic but the fun part is to essemble yourself, from wat i saw the paintjob are perfect due to real car paint (they claim la) it's good also with no oxidation problem but i hope it wont melt in times , another advantage is can save my cabinet space

if its a 1/18 scale i would have grab it...
