Gundam Astray - Red Frame (HG 1/144)

Here's a long overdue kit which I have started 2 yrs ago but never really did have the time to settle down and complete it. It's finally done now.

Astray vs Mudflap: "Let's see who has more red!"

Sangokuden GuanYu

My first post on my Gundam collection. I have just completed this model based on Sangokuden SD Gundam. This model will be given to my brother-in-law to complement his real GuanYu character figurine. Initial intention was just to have the character itself; when I bought the display case, it turns out that there's some vacant space vertically and it makes the display looked a little mispositioned. In the end, the horse was introduced. The horse was silver but I decided to give this hero a metallic black horse and it turns out quite nice! :)

Hotwheels 250GTO and Scorching Scooter

I'm back in Manila and as usual, I went for my rounds. It seems that the recent release of Hotwheels doesn't attract my attention; I was quite disappointed when browsing through the sets. Anyway, I only managed to end up getting these; Black Ferrari 250GTO and Scorching Scooter

Hotwheels gono Biking!

Ok, I have suddenly got attracted to the Hotwheels bikes; I don't know why but once I take them out from the card, they just look so unique. So here they are; from left to right "Pit Cruiser" (I think I have got this a few months back), OCC Splitback, Canyon Carver. Oh BTW, OCC stands for Orange Counter Chopper.

Hotwheels Ferrari 308GTS

As Singapore is preparing for their 2nd F1 Night Race, 7-Eleven taking this opportunity, with Hotwheels, to boost their sales. And of course, it will work with a person like me as I'm personally a Ferrari diecast collector whenever my wallet permits ;). Here's what I have got
I can only say I simply love this model as I think it's very detail for Hotwheels standard. Other than this, another model that was worth taking note is the Yellow Dino 268GTS from Hotwheels; I like single color paint jobs for Ferraris and I think that's because with a single paint job, you can really see the curve and shape of these wonderful Ferrari designs. I'll try to post a pic of it next time. I have the previous release of the Dino 268GTS but it was full of decals and I ended up not admiring it (well, just me).

Master Worx - for display only

Something which I didn't expect myself to look at. It's this unknown brand which I chance upon. I bought three models which I like Lotus Esprit, Diablo, Alpha Romeo Spider. Actually, the Eprit and the Alpha Spider was my interest. As for the Diablo, I have a similar model back last week. I just bought it coz it's really hard to find the car in stores now a days; even the 1/18 version.


After taking them out to have a look. The are actually quite decent models if you are not going to play with it - meaning it's really for display only coz the wheels doesn't roll that well. Secondly, when I looked at the base of the model, these cars were actually from Welly! No wonder they are of decent detail at such low price.

1/18 Mercedes 300SL (finally!)

To be honest, I have been patiently waiting for this model. I have originally inteneded to wait for the Minichamp model to appear in Singapore but it never did happen. So my next option was to wait for the less detail Bburago model. I was again taking a walk in Philippines megamall and I saw the ever so popular "Toy Kingdom" but this time round is its discount store and I decided to pop in to have a look. Luck was on my side, I saw this model and without hesitating, bought it after inspecting for any defects. Here's some picks of the model

I have to take the photo with the box coz I didn't have the tools to unscrew the model from the box.
