Initial D Mazda RX-7 (FD3S)





I had always been a fan of Initial D. Spending a great amount of time and money on the arcades, buying the comic's (some only) and models. This is my first 1/24 Initial D model kit. It's from Fujimi. Well, it is quite decent to me. Although it had a generic chassis but overall it still looks great.!

Color is chrome yellow the decals are sealed under a clear coat. Well, some of you might find the panel lines are dark and I do think so. Maybe I shold tone them down. As it's too contrast with the yellow body color. The only thing I did was drilled holes for the side mirrors so I don't have to glued the side mirrors to the body and cause the paint to melt. So from one photo, you can see the side mirrors is retractable. (Thanks to zenlim for the idea).

I am building an AE86 for a friend and it's 60% complete. Soon after Chinese New Year, it will be completed !!!Enjoy !

AMT Mitsubishi Eclipse Fast and Furious Edition







Well, be gentle on me as this is my first AMT kit. Well, my comment are the bad decals( really hate it man !!) ,no gauges ,meter decals, some fitment issues, no wipers and a bad height ride which I noticed the front his higher than the rear a little but loo late, as I fixed it already. I encountered some problems and I will take note in my future AMT builds. I did some changes to this model..


1) Fujimi R32 Front Seats
2) Tamiya Evo VI Rally Bonnet pins (Front hood and trunk)
3) Ings+1 Gt Wing (Original GT Wing sucks to the max)
4) Wipers for LHD cars (from Fujimi's Nissan March extra's)
5) Color: Industrial Apple Green (cleared and polished)
6) Tamiya Evo VI Intercooler and Mesh

Its my first kit with a full engine detail. I hope you guys like it. It's not that good because I am still learning how to build a good model especially with AMT kits.

Shell James Bond Cars Collection..






When I first heard about the release of James Bond car by Shell, i was totally thrilled !! Why? The reason is simple. I am a hardcore fan of James Bond actually. That's why. I have watched all the 22 Bond movies and simply love that guy. But don't worry, I am straight.

Well, I manage to have 2 sets of this Bond cars. The consist of 5 per set. They are:
1) Aston Martin DB5
2) Alpina Sunbeam
3) Lotus Espirit
4) BMW Z3
5) Aston Martin DBS

However, to get one, you need to pump RM 40 worth of petrol, then you get to purchase it for RM 5.50 each.Well, the best part of this set is that it comes with acrylic casings. That's why there are people who bought them just for the casing alone. Anyway, I found that some cars are decently done and some are poorly done. The photos will reveal it though so let the photos do the talking.

Oh ya! You guys must be wondering whose is the manufacturer of these cars. Although it's stated Tic Toc at the base, I do suspect it's actually Corgi. Why? Because I did a simple search and I found that the BMW Z3 of Corgi resembles the Shell promotion BMW Z3. Well, I don't know why they did that though...(if it's true)..

Well, if you guys are discarding the cars just for the sake of the casing, let me know. I am interested to have some loose to be displayed.
