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.

Maisto 1/24 Chrysler ME Four-Twelve






I am not quite a fan of American cars actually. But this Chrysler car caught my attention a year ago when I was shopping for some 1/18 Lamborghini's. I find the design is attractive and it's considered a supercar. However, due to some conflicts with Mercedes, they never got the fastest production car title as the car never got into production. Such as pity as it's rumored to be faster than the McLaren F1 itself!

Maisto did a decent job on this and I know i been saying this for quite sometimes. Honestly, Maisto deserve a pat on their back because they been producing great looking budget models.
Doors and engine hood can be open to reveal the interior and engine respectively. There is a dissappointment because the seatbelts are moulded together with the seats however, I can still live with it.

Well, if you guys want to get this model, do it fast as I don't see it anywhere anywhere already. Good luck for hunting!

Fujimi Evo VIII Ralliart (1/24)






This is a decent kit to me. Except for the decals which are real bad and tore easily. I touched up some parts with a silver sharpie. The silver decals are wierd. Once yo clear coat, some kind of wierd texture will surface from different angles. I should have mask and spray it !! Well, I am kind of disappointed with the decals. That's all.

The car is painted in bright red and clear coated to protect the decals. Well, it's lightly weathered though. Enjoy..
Ain't my best build if you ask me, cause it's a first time dealing with giant decals...
