A very rare kyosho that i came across, in surprisingly god condition.

1/18 Autoart Nissan R35 Spec-V

2010-11-07T07:13:00.000-08:00

New released autoart Spec-V. stunning paint job. enjoy.

Ford Sierra Cosworth RS

2010-03-06T16:45:00.000-08:00

Kyosho Blue 300zx and Autoart Lancer Ralliart to come soon.

Ford Mustang CS (AutoArt)

2009-11-14T16:39:00.000-08:00

Bought this baby earlier this year, a very nice mustang indeed. I believe theya re getting rarer nowadays with it's limited production of 5000, especially this pearl white body.

1970 Plymouth RoadRunner GTX (GMP)

2009-10-20T03:29:00.000-07:00

A very highly detailed and heavy model by GMP. This model has almost every part so detailed that it weights around 2kg. It has a realistic metal leaf springs, fully plumbed engine, and even a shiftable gear knob (although for some reason mine isn't working), extensible antenna, opening compartments inside, and even windows that roll up and down. So far the most detailed and heaviest model I've come across.

Notice the realistic metal hinges supporting the bonnet.

Notice the rear metal leaf springs. and they behave like real ones too.

Here's the most interesting part, notice the windows are now rolled up.

By turning the roller, the window rolls down just like real ones.

----------------------------------------------------
Found a black Kyosho RX-7 on ebay earlier and bought it with a very cheap price. Though with some slight defect, I couldn't care less. Am so 'turned on' by it now.

Nissan R34 Nismo Sport Reset (Autoart)

2009-10-11T03:21:00.000-07:00

The new R34 by Autoart. This really is my first R34 skyline model. Overally a great model and surprisingly lightweight. The small decals on the body are really flawlessly printed on. Enjoy the photos.

1968 Dodge Charger Bullitt (ERTL)

2009-09-14T22:11:00.000-07:00

If you've watched Bullitt, there's nothing much to say here. Greatest car chase movie ever.

PS/ I'm more of a Charger fan, hope autoart will make them in the future. Don't get me wrong, Mustang is still a dream car for every man.

Autoart Mustang Bullitt

2009-08-24T04:46:00.000-07:00

Autoart Bullitt Mustangs, with the original and the inspired remake. Both are of top quality, especially the original one. Bad Bullitt Charger to come soon!

Plymouth Cuda (Highway 61)

2009-07-31T18:40:00.000-07:00

A stunning model by Highway 61. This is the special Black Edition, limited 500 pieces worldwide. For some reason the bonnet opening is stuck and I couldn't risk to force open it. Very classic muscle car, my next favorite after Charger and Mustang.

Range Rover Sport (Autoart)

2009-07-23T06:44:00.000-07:00

Very detail and nicely crafted model by Autoart. It is surprisingly light judging by its size, yet the quality is still flawless, from the badges to the headlights and decals. I've been wanting one of these ever since Autoart made it. Enjoy the pictures.

Shelby GT350H (Lane Exact Detail)

2009-07-21T00:45:00.000-07:00

A very rare Shelby by Lane. I bought it with a much higher price than its retail from a collector, which has another black one of these. This one has the magnum 500 wheels, which makes it even rarer. So far my favorite Shelby.

Shelby GT350R (Shelby Collectibles)

2009-07-08T23:09:00.000-07:00

I bought this model because of the exceptional build quality by Shelby Collectibles on this particular model. More Shelbies to come soon.

Toyota Supra Mark IV (Kyosho)

2009-06-24T02:51:00.000-07:00

The mark 4 Supra is well known for its highly potent twin turbocharged 2JZ-GTE inline 6 engine. Sadly, Toyota claimed there are no plans for a new Supra in the future.

All the 3 models are bought from ebay, and they are getting rarer nowadays, especially the red RHD version.

1969 Dodge Charger (American Muscle)

2009-06-09T01:47:00.000-07:00

Bought this baby right after watching the Fast and Furious 4. The blown engine is custom installed by the seller. Build quality is the typical ERTL standard, but it's the integration of the beautiful supercharger and the greatest muscle car of all times that matters.

First attempt on photoshoping the photos, it's funny how technologies can fool our eyes.

more to come soon...

Mazda RX-7 FD3S (Kyosho)

2009-04-17T17:28:00.000-07:00

The FD3S by Kyosho, with a red and a silver in the rare 5spokes wheels version.
Had the best professional photographer wannabe to come over for a photo session, with her unzoomable SLR lens.

I took some shots with a normal digicam as I find out she cant see what i see.

Thanks for coming over. The photoshop editions are very goood! learn more about her here. She feels more comfortable to be behind the camera than in front.

Speed-Syndicate

2009-04-06T17:03:00.000-07:00

Speed-Syndicate is a company professionalized in high performance vehicle tunings. My late uncle EiSong somehow joined the group as one of the partners and opened up another garage at San Francisco in 2007. People ask why America? It was a dream to be able to join the group and start learning while I am studying there and I almost had it. But then shit always happens in my life, all the while, in almost everything. Just before I could lodge any application uncle passed away in a heart attack, and that literally puts an end to everything I've dreamt of. Sometimes you think about what ifs so badly when you really want everything to be back just like before. There's really nothing much left to be remembered and fantasized about, and there it goes, Speed-Syndicate.

Some pics I got it off him when he first bought all these babies: Rx7, 300ZX, GTO and 350Z. He's a big fan of Japanese twin turbos. He told me excitedly that the last addition to his collections will be another Supra, which he never had the chance to do so, and I never had the chance to feel them. Fantasies.
