Diecast Models

I shop at HobbyCo & HobbyWorld and I just checked and both of them are located in Sydney only.

Apart from finding a store in Adelaide, you could try ordering the cars off Biante.com.au ;)
 
Ok I got the green light to open my bday present early from a relative. Here are my pics:

Just gotta find space in cabinet. Its almost as long as the SLR!
The usual Maisto build quality. It feels soo flimsy in my hands. All those plastic chromy bits and pieces will fall off if the wind blows too hard.
It came with rather prominent marks on the rear of the car and along the sides. I have a Maisto S-Type that came in bad condition aswell!!
 
:thumbsup:

Thankgod you got it in red, looks much better IMO. What brand? Hotwheels?
 
Cool. They have suddenly exploded onto the model car market recently! How is their quality compared to something like Maisto?

btw: Stickied this thread..
 
Here are some new pics of my SLR :)

I plan to get the SLR still but i have yet to allocate enough money to spend on diecasts any more. Speaking of whcih, i'm gonna redo some photos of my m3 gtr, skyline r34 z-turned and maybe add a few pics of my lambo/aston.

Are those lights real or photoshopped :bangin: Very nice anyways :thumbsup:


BTW: How is the quality on that range of pimped up models one of which being your Gallardo? What brand is it again??
 
my gallardo is Miasto, from the way i was handling it and opening the doors/hoods, it felt decent. It's not as heavy as my autoart or minichamps and it's not as highly detailed on the interior as them either but it serves its purpose. When i was looking at my aston and m3gtr, i felt the rims were not shiny enough. Gotta chrome 'em baby!!!

PS. Yes those are photoshoped. I am not gonna pay $100+ usd for a diecast that has lights.
 
is it by minichamps?
 
Early birthday pressy from a relative, its a Maisto and the qualitys pretty decent, but the rear wheels feel flimsy
