Latest Bus Collection

Here are my latest collection of London Double Decker Bus and some School Buses.
This other two Fast Lane London Bus are smaller in size compare to the earlier London Bus by Fast Lane. It is less detail compare to the bigger bus.


This is a great toy hunt at one of the super market in Pahang. I found this school bus made in China by KINSFUN. For RM 17 this bus is very detail.
It's come with rubber, detail paint job, side door can open, detail break & signal lights, and with pull back go forward function too.
Bad news is I went back to the store one month later for more. But all of this bus are sold out.





Matchbox School Bus



The following picture are after some touch up on the GMC logo, front light, signal & break lights.

My Trip To Tawau

I took a trip back to Tawau, few days before this Chinese New Year. Tawau is a town, that I being inspire with toy car collecting hobby. It happen back in 1980, one of my first cousin who show me his toy car collection in his wooden case. He has a lot of cars includes of Hot Wheel, Majorette, Matchbox and Corgi too.
I did when to visit his parents house to check out, is there any left over cars around there. But according my cousin brother, his mum already give it away to someone decades ago.

Anyway here are some picture I took, while I was passing through the great Mt. Kinabalu at centre of Sabah. The black & white picture of Mt. Kinabalu was taken from my cousin old photo album house. I believe that it was taken about 50 years ago on Mt. Kinabalu.






Before the end of my Tawau trip. Uncle Wilson (my mums brother) gave me this sets of cars, which he had keeping it since 1980. It was the same year, which I was inspire by other cousin brother back then.

"Holy Grail" of all Hot Wheels

Some say collecting die cast is just collecting some toy car for your own fun (siok sendiri).
For me it is an investment, like shares or bonds.
Sometime back some one told me that the most expensive HW car is a VW bus with a surf board suck in behind.
Just found out one of the owner is Bruce Pascal. If you have an extra $150K USD laying around, you can own it.




To know some background on the pink Rear Loading Beach Bomb owned by Bruce Pascal.
The Pink VW Bus picture is from The Toy Peddler.

1/64 Scale Accessory Pack

At last my garage accessory set is here. I had been waiting for like over a year for this set. It is one of the very rare item, that made by a Die-Cast car maker. This set is made by Greenlight(GL), under the Muscle car garage accessory pack.
Greenlight was not very well know over Asia region. But it does make very detail cars. Like always, my wish is to see more of GL products in Malaysia.

This Accessory Pack come with six item. It is made by plastic and with detail paint job. It will look very cool if you place them near your 1/64 scale cars.
My next project is to look for figure to make it nicer.
