QUOTE(myke @ Dec 3 2008, 10:05 PM) i tried displaying my Evo with box inside the cabinet, few weeks time bubble start to appear but very minor, luckily spotted early  do u plan to keep it inside wardrobe? then u'll need alot of hippo but they only can last max 2-3 months. unless u have air-cond running 24/7. next year would be a great year for AA's fan coz alot of new models release, i'm sure u can get the model u desire in oversea, could be cheaper than here too  but their new price over quality ratio is quite disappointed. yea i plan to store them in the box then inside the wardrobe... and i will oso plan to place 2 hippos inside the wardrobe, hope they will do the job... perhaps i need to ask my family to help me change the hippo from time to time le... i juz not sure how humid is the wardrobe since not much air/heat get into it... but as u said, the hippo suckers can be great assurance to avoid humidity...

it would be cheaper to buy a dehumidifier machine instead of hippos in the long run...
I'm thinking it might be more of heat issue, since it's easy to understand heat makes things expand and contract, while humid is more on external issues. Bubbles seems to have it's problem rooted from the inside.

i like AA R35 White color but not the rims, i will wait for the Vspec version  bout the 599, i paid less than RM150 for it which is not tat bad. no doubts for its quality but really fragile & those parts are tiny. must be very carefully when u're not into self assemble model kits.

Actually I'm HW collector but recently saw this beautiful Maserati Trofeo (white color) by Bburago at metro. Selling at RM69.90 and I think also got 20% disc. Very nice looking model and really tangan gatal to get it. I think its 1:18 scale. Feel like buying. What do you guys think? Is it worth it? Bburago models...how's the quality? Just spend alot on HW and now suddenly this...sigh.. I scared after buying, really have to makan roti and air suam for the whole month

saru88: don worry, i guess local hobby shops like Nikko and Kyosho BTS will bring in the models to our shore in limited units. So we need to keep in touch with them and act fast once the models arrive. Buying the model online is not worth as its much more expensive with lots of taxes and courier fees. By then, the model will cost more RM500, which its not supposed to be. Krome: is this the model u mean?  well, its an 1/24 scale model. RM69.90 for a 1/24 Bburago considers normal, as for 1/18, they normally each cost more than RM100. as im not a fan of this model so i cant comment much on it. i can say is tat the price is normal for the scale size. But if u really love this car model, maybe u should consider take it before it runs out of stock!
