that black Otto SW20 MR2 is stunning. Thanks Will!


Now i've got most of the Otto Toyotas: mk3 and mk4 Supra, ST185 Celica Gr A wrc and the Gr B celica turbo rally car.


These guys really upped the game. Puts some of the autoarts to shame. (damn those composite cars)

HK Double Decker buses are cool....

Hi Everyone,

I've bought these double decker buses not too long ago. These are 1/76th scale. All diecast metal. You can easily find most of these on eBay or Taobao.


Astroboy, Ultra Man and Marlboro livery buses.


Gundam livery buses.

I think the livery on these buses are pretty cool.

The Gundam buses was sold as complete set, and they were packed in a suit case with a transparent plastic cover. Only 800 of these special cases were made.



Here are some detail shots of each bus.




The interior detail is pretty cool for a model in this scale.




Ultraman is cool...to bad no Kamen Rider....









This next one is rather unique...If they allowed cigarette advertise on a bus like this today, there would be an uproar...







The Gundam set is really really cool.




























I hope Translink would do some sort of advertisement like this on their new Double decker buses.

Comments are welcomed.

Happy Collecting

William

I just picked up this piece


I love it. Sadly, upon closer inspection one of the hood hinge points is disconnected so the hood doesn't align property. Is there any diecast repair in the lower mainland?

Also one of the wipers needs to be glued back on but I think I can handle that.

Any of y'all know where I can find good 1:18 display cases? I'd like one big enough to hold two 1:18s. I'd also be interested in ones that you can secure a car from rolling around in it if moved. Something for my desk at work.

Just picked this up from Ted @ Wilkinson, he was nice enough to give 2 small die-casts to my daughter and son (Ferrari Testarossa and Porsche Boxster 986), both 1:43 scale for free.

It was during their 50% off event.

as long as the display case has a wood base, or a decent enough plastic base, and the cars already have attachment points underneath, you can make a template and drill the base to match the cars and reuse the shipping screws to hold them down.
