Maisto 1/36 Volkwasgen Beetle Convertible..


Well, I spotted this cute car during shopping. Well, I can't resist it as I rarely see such diecasts for sale. Well, however, Don't expect much as the quality is quite bad if you ask me. Just I bought it because I love the Beetle so much..

Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift Cars

Nissan S15
Nissan 350z Veilside

Ford Mustang with Nissan Engine

Well, I got them real cheap from Steve, a friend from Canada. Thanks pal !
I don't know what scale they are but seems to be between 1/64 and 1/50. Anyway, they are well done for the scales and have openable hoods to reveal the engine inside it. Enjoy the photos.

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 !
