My 3pcs of yellow 288GTO also like that. You can say its a defect in factory terms. But to colectors its a variant or error car or something. Keep or not to keep? Do you own any HW collecting reference books? I remember seeing one that tells you what to do with such car. But i'm not revealing it. hehehe.

I think wat CKH means is the copyright fee u can collect from Mattel, not us. Personally I think if it's workable for Mattel to use ur skills or idea, u should highly consider about the copyright thinging man... Dun u wat to make it great in life?? Like Mark Zuckerberg at the age of 20 who just want to communicate with his colleage that he created a new way of communication & the rest is history!!!!

If i were to do this as a career (which i am not), i would seriously do that. But unfortunately its only a temporary fling i guess. Until i get bored, then i will work on something else. This stays as eye candy for you guys and this site. If Mattel want to use that art or not, i wouldn't care much. I'm not looking for fame this way.

Oui!!!! High res is in "vault of broken dreams" hehehe.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I hope to have time to work on some more.

netmatrix. hope u dun mind if i forward your adverts to mattel?

Errrrr!!!! I damn shy shy la. My work is not great enough to go for ad prints! Its only eye candy for you guys. But if you wanna just send it to them to know how we abuse/ misuse our HW, by golly then go ahead!

copyrights?????...................... :LOL!:

Copyrights only valid for people that does it for profits. Like the McCurry case. I'm doing it for fun and its free for you guys. But don't la go and print it nice nice and sell! Cannot la like that.

Carbon hood. I wonder how it would do on HWC race tracks? hehehe.

Anyone got the dark blue one? How dark if the shade of blue? I already have the regular 2008 light blue one. Still can find the light blue one sometimes. No one wants this it seems.

Yeah, im some forums the Jap cars are sold for RM15-25. Higher if the car is japanese cars. Best place to get cars seems to be in USA in some sleepy town. hehehe.

Wooo.... loose Ferrari 308 GTS.

I landed my cuda at TRU KLCC. I saw got 3 more last sunday. Good luck.

Take out RM7 then pay for the junk food not shown there. The T-hunt is hidden in some rack, then defaced at the back, "Pydrummer was ere 1st! "

Super T-hunt is normal? I gotta know how high are the standards for hauls. hehehe.

Must be fine arts month over here. Got digital artwork by me and now got lyrical artist now.

T-hunt, T-hunt,
With money sign or not;
Can be love or can be grunt,
Not similar cars from the basic lot.

Such cars HW collectors like,
When the found a dollar sign one;
The scream in delight,
Its like their first born son.

Now they found a lot of twins,
In the form of Qombee;
Its supposed to be a win,
But scared they are, they flee.

Its not enough they get green,
They want difference in between;
Mattel say OK!,
But you gotta pay.

Now cars cost RM6.50 each,
They cost more than an imported peach!;
T-Hunts was actually a bonus,
But now its like locust.

Being traded like antiques,
Even when they are aged few weeks!;
But then wake up my friends,
This is not the end.

For Mattel hold you by the balls,
For as long as there are shopping malls;
You want more from them,
Clear the racks with your wallet at helm.

Letters and Emails are nothing,
Mattels treats them as play thing;
You can go on forever and ever,
You will still not find a T-hunt your flavour.

Muahahahahaha!,
The sound of laughter;
Kaching! Kaching! Kaching!,
The sound of the cash register.

Don't turn HW collecting a horror,
Because of T-hunts that are similar;
There are us who like them normal,
Which is why we still collect them all.

Second one worked on another 2 days.

Thanks Enyo for the link. I could not find any link to the actual drag car body used for it. I only saw your avatar. Most of the finds point me back to the original 1948 Fiat 500C Topolino. It even landed me with the generations of Fiat logo. I used the 1938-1959 logo because of the color.

Err... i don't think Fiat/Ferrari would be interested in a speck of dust like me. hahaha. Its only a hobby of mine btw. I think i'm still not good enough. If i put borders at the edges, it would be a trading card. If i put in contact information then it would be an actual advertorial work. And i ended up with this crossroads.

Thanks for the compliments guys. I'll work on another one once i found the correct car to work with. hehe

Oh crap!!! Only noticed the typo on the second last phrase!! Crap!!! Would fix it tonight.

Blue over gold looks pretty good. But i think blue over copper should be better. Think Subaru..... ooopppsss. Mitsu guys gonna kick my butt now. hehehe

Thanks.

Question : Should i do more?

Those sleepless night thinking if some kid got access to your room....

Then mod move this thread! hahaha.

On monday? Damn! I was too early then. hahaha. I wonder whats this year Morgan Aeromax look like?

I dunno if i could put this here. But its an imaginary advertisment i made 2 days ago while playing with this car, a lightbulb came to my head.



Feel free to comment.

I love this car in real for its technology, and ability on road. But do you believe me that i only have the red HW version only? I'm actually waiting to land a much bigger model for this car. Not 1:1 obviously!!

I have to admit, the Pro Rods are very....veeery nice, there will definitely be some that will stay just as they are.

Believe me, they are worth it. The actual referenced wheel design is the gold here. The show car trim and engine details are also very good. And they actually didn't overdo the paintwork like most manufacturers. I'm just 2 cars away from completing series Pro Rodz 1.0 & 2.0. Like i said, Maisto will never messes up the Muscle and Rod car category. Unlike what they done with the NFS Undercover series.

How much i like the Fiat 500C? Well i did spend 2 days working on this....

Well undercoverbrother, what u said is true. But i dunno about others, but my collecting has something to do with my fascination of cars. I could match HW cars to my books and magazines all day long. hehehe.

If you paid 1 million for this, its waaayyyyyy more valuable than any supercar. Its a one off car and you get a bike with it too!! Seriously a bargain if you could afford any RM1 mil supercar.
