a drybox like this...control humidity as to not to allow fungus etc...I have a smaller version to house my camera lenses so prolly have to opt for bigger ones to store my collections...

guys... have u ever wondered on using charcoal to suck the humidity besides the chemical usage such as Hippo suckers? Charcoal seems to be another alternative not only to reduce odour but i think it oso can reduce humidity too, juz pop out from my mind juz now... wat u guys think?
*
on another note u can try this silica gel correct?

v26davk: FXX u might as well visit Parkson or Jusco and take a look, 360 Modena i fear for no stock available le... unless u can try ur luck at Graffiti Toys BTS... otherwise the other way is through online purchase - ebay... all these Ferrari models are from Hotwheels

iman_210: yup... as myke said, the coverage is limited lor... other than tat, Hippo is the current way to reduce humidity... but dono charcoal idea will work onot... sweat.gif

myke: nop... it simply juz pop out from my mind... coz previously i was listening to a radio station, they say charcoal can reduce smell in shoe cabinet, then i was thinking since charcoal is a dried wood, it should not only suck smell but perhaps humidity... of coz, we might need to change them from time to time... we might as well let it dry under the sun and reuse it over and over again... save money and save environment too... biggrin.gif but this is juz my thought lar... sweat.gif

jasonist,

however, placing the hippo does not add any beauty to the display cabinet...so does charcoal...unless carved in a certain way that does blend in with the cars...

just wandering,

any 1/18 diecast on the Aston DBS?

So far, there's no news of a 1/18 die-cast DBS yet... I am hoping that AutoArt could get the license to make it, just like they made DBR9 last time...

DBS is nxt on my hitlist...hopefully the new revealed Lambo if they get the license...

The last time I saw it at Ultimate toys was early last year.They were selling @ RM360.00 back then. You can't find them anymore. I got mine from Bangkok for RM250.00. I know Toycity still carrying the Jaguar XKR Roadster from the Movie Die Another Day @ RM399.00.

it actually the same street as Secret Recipe, further down the street where there's alot of offices and there's this new chicken rice shop on your left, the shop is just next to it.

I deal with a lady auntie in cantonese, just mention to her its for car display and she should know. If you worrying that the box i did was too big then bring your diecast over as a sample smile.gif

thanx for sharing mate...

Maisto history

Maisto is a company that manufactures die-cast models of automobiles, aircraft, and a number of Tonka products. The company is based in California and their products are made in China and Thailand. Maisto creates 1:12, 1:18, 1:24, 1:25, 1:27, 1:43, and 1:64 scale models. The models are based on vehicles that are popular today. In 2005, Maisto acquired the assets of Bburago, another scale model manufacturer who went bankrupt.  smile.gif
