Hey James! Hi =) You should be knowing me right :pOriginally posted by 3888:Hi Everybody, my name is James, glad to join in this sgdc community. I have been visiting this forum quite often but only now registered.
A brief introduction,,, still a newbie collector of diecast, only started not too far back with the AA Ralliart Evo 9. Due to space constraints, had initiated only wanted to focus on JDMs, but the more I explored this forum, the more I got influenced (poisoned) and now focus entirely on European supercars (Gallardos, DB9, Carrera GT and 575GTC) *I hated ferrari previously until I discovered Enzo and 575! still can't really appreciate BMW or Porsches though save for the Carrera GT*. Still looking for a white Integra type R for my friend though (do drop me a mail if you have one to spare)
Not really into details, I just love the shapes of supercars, hence to me AA = BBR = Kyosho = Maisto = Minichamps = UT ,,,, as long as the car looks good and not excessively priced, I'll accept it.
Importing an Enzo and a Mclaren Ueno Clinic from the USA soon, looking for like-minded sg collectors who want to do group buys from overseas.
Wishing all well!
By the way I am willing to sell my Ueno Clinic too. But my advice is to see how much eBay is offering it for now. If it is more ex then mine then get from me. Else from eBay ofcourse =) -

Hi Folks
Since my childhood, I have loved model cars. Used to play with Matchboxes, Corgis and Majourettes model cars.
I started a collection of 1/18 scale model cars while studying in England when I bought Bburagos, Maistos and Revells and then, when I came to Singapore in 1995, I bought UTs, Kyoshos and Autoarts. I even made a custom built display cabinet to show case the model cars.
Then, when my collection got to around 50 cars, my interest stopped. Donno why. Probably it was because I ran out of display space.
I've always wondered if there is an active model car collectors community in Singapore and it is funny that I only discovered this forum recently from someone who had advertised his model cars for sale in a 1/1 scale car forum that I frequent. I guess it wasn't in the interest of the retail shops in Singapore to tell me about the existence of this forum. Anyway, I am glad that I have found you folks here.
Now, my passion for model car collecting has been revived - but in the 1/43 scale. In the past 8 months, I think I have accumulated 50+ 1/43 model cars, mainly supercars that I can't afford in real life. Well, I guess if I can't afford the real thing, a 1/43 scale car can also do lah.
So, if you guys have 1/43 scale cars (especially Minichamps, Autoarts, iXos, Schucos and handbuilts) that you want to unload/trade, please let me know. Cheers! -
