hi, those who are interested in bike models n putting one in display, pls consider this:

 

there's a sale at CCK LOT 1 shopping centre, just outside Mcdonald. there are gsx750, zx12, gsx1300, ktm520, yzf, etc etc bike models.

those are pre-made ones, good for lazy ppl like me.

each one is only $5.90 n i bought 4 myself. looks not bad for such a cheap price. i duno how long will the sale be so dun flame me if the sale finishes

Pardon me but by buying ready-made ones, it sort of "kills" the satisfaction of making one yourself...

 

From all the individual parts, to assembly, painting, decals and then finally the finished model... It is not easy and may be tedious for some but the sense of achievement is .. Furthermore I guess one will treasure the item more if effort is being put into it...

 

Juz my 2 cents..

following the instructions on the manual will be enuff, have patience and do step by step. u can also invest in a airbrush and compressor if got $$$ and u are doing a lot of models. other wise u just got to go to hobby shops and settle for spray cans.

are you referring to ordinary spray paint like nippon pylox? or special spray paint for model kits?

try not to get the nippon pylox, some models may melt. get tamiya ones for models.

i may be investing on a airbrush

[Guest Ashe^^]

Hi Everyone... Would like to ask around.... whether got models on Harley davidson... i dun want the ones sold @ Taka's harley boutique... I am hoping to get the bigger scale of FLSTF also known as "Fat Boy"... if not mistaken...the scale is 1:9 or vice versa.... thanks alot...

 

BTW.. wat is the meaning of die cast..?? and anyone knows where to get models on Suzuki's "Hayabusa" or honda's "Blackbird"??...thanks!!!!

[mechwira]

.. wat is the meaning of die cast..??

 

die casting is a metal molding process, so die cast models are the metal models that have been pre-made without any need for assembly, as opposed to the model kits by brands such as tamiya which u have to assemble yourself.
