Custom Proton Wira

Well, sorry for the lack of updates on my blog. Alot of things happened recently I was not in the mood of blogging. Now I am feeling better and decided to post one of my precious collection. You read it right. It is the Proton Wira.

Well, it's not a model exactly and it is meant as a toy but to me it's a decent replica of the Proton Wira, our Malaysian national car. I remembered when I was a little boy, my dad brought me to Parkson where I spotted the Proton Wira toy for sale at RM 24.90. The scale was roughly bigger than 1/18 and that time lots of colors were offered. My dad bought me one, and ordered another one through mail. I was so delighted that time.

Next, Public Bank also offfered it as a coinbox and I got two of them. Well, honestly, I lost three of them ! But one remain but not this one. I found this while shopping at Taisheng in Singapore in 2006 . I took it and see it. It's a bump and go toy. Wierd. Colored in red and silver, it's hedious. So my friend asked the shop seller if it is for sale since it was displayed at the cabinet. He said if you want it you can have it for SD 8. That's ridiculous cheap after 10 years !

Next, when I got it, I decided to repaint it and detailed it. So this is how it looks like. I really love this replica to the bits as it is hard to obtain now. Next post will be a custom Proton Wira that i modified from a coinbox given by Public Bank.

Please, if anyone is letting go this, let me know. I will appreciate it very much.

1/24 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Rally (NZ)

I built this model almost one and a half year ago. That time this is my first attempt at rally cars. This is a Tamiya 1/24 Evo VI Rally (New Zealand Rally) driven by Tommi Makinen. Well, being my first rally car, I decided to keep things simple. The body color , interior are almost accurate. But the chasssis are paint flat black as the chassis is too colorful and I am lack of colors. Well, decided to weather it a bit. What you guys think?

I have another version of it built up as the Proton PERT MK1 Rally and another one still unfixed. Maybe I will do the Freddy version or either convert it to another Proton MK2 Hokkaido Rally as I have leftover decals from the Proton PERT decals( produced by Studio 27)

TOMY Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII RC...

Well, as the great fan of the Mitsubishi Evo, I should not miss this car in my collection. However, I can't figure out the reason while I didn't buy it last time and I can't find it anywhere after that. Luckily, I made a trade with Tom, a Vietnam collector and got this! Thanks Tom !!

Well, nothing much to complain as this is meant to be a remote control car toy. The body shape is accurate and stickers for lamps, mesh , and side mirrors are given. The scale is between 1/24 to 1/30. Soon, I will post another TOMY RC car that is the AE86 once i finish assembling it.

Here is my final papercraft for the Proton Wira rally car. Like the previous Wira rally cars that are based on the previous Evo's, this version is based on the legendary Evolution III.

The sponsor logos on this papercraft is accurate and realistic compare the previous version which I posted before.

Papercraft: Proton PERT (BFA 876) Rally Car

BFA 876 found me when I was looking for some Proton Wira rally photos. Since then, I have been following his blog whenever I have the time. Well, seems I have some free time, so I decided I might do a simple papercraft dedicate to him.

Here is the summary of himself
'''I was born a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo III RS and built by Ralliart Japan as a Group N4 rally car in 1996. PERT purchased me in 1997 and renamed me PERT Proton Wira 4wd Turbo. I've had an illustrious rally career from 1997-2003 in MRC and APRC. In 2008, I was bought over by JMT and here I am.... Rallying Again !!! ''''


This is how he looks like..
