SABDINO splendid collection.

A KBien that started his collection and became a model collector since 1992. He sent BDC this great pictures and shared to us all the collection he got at his crib. Its a mixture of all those 1:43, 1:24 to 1:18 scale model. From Hotwheels, Bburago, Maisto and many more. Till now, he collected "just" around 500 cars already. (Well thats how he told BDC.) But anyway great collection you got there Sabdino. Keep it up with the good work.

What?! "Just" around 500 cars?!...and you thought that was a small collection?

Among the 500 different scale models that he got, 300 of it consist of the 1:18 scale model. Wow!!!

BDC: Thanks for sharing with us all Sabdino. BDC love to hear more from you again soon. Keep in touch, keep on sending. Try to make it up to four digit figure soon. Hehehehehe...

The Ferraris of Denoh

I received this this pics from one of our frequent visitors at Brunei Diecast Collectors (B.D.C). He told BDC, this are only few of his collection left that still in one piece and which he could save from the termite attack at his crib. Well, very impressive collection you have there indeed. BDC wonder, what else do you have without those bugs attack? Anyway, with a mixture of classic and new collection of Ferrari he have, lets just hope he will add up the number with other different models soon.

Next on my wishlist...

After the 1992 McLaren Honda MP4/7 of Aryton Senna that I got for my collection, now I am thinking of extending the current Aryton Senna memorabilia by setting my radar to the 1991 Nigel Mansell Williams Renault. The scene was immortalized by world wide television coverage and track photographers who captured the unique gesture as Nigel Mansell interrupted his victory lap to give friend and rival Ayrton Senna a ride back to the pits after his McLaren ran out of fuel on the final lap.

As usual, I will be looking for the perfect model and that include the "Camel" livery should be available on the model to really replicate the actual Nigel Mansell Williams Renault on the race day years ago. I should expect the pricetag could be around BND$300. But then, we will never know the actual price until we get our hand on one of this rare edition.

Hamilton on its way...

Hamilton scored the first pole position and victory of his F1 career in the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix at Montreal. Since then, he was only the second person, after Jacques Villeneuve, to win more than one race in his rookie F1 season since the first year of the Championship.



With a reasonable price, recently I ordered the 1:18 "2007 Lewis Hamilton McLaren Mercedes MP4/22 Model" to commemorate his first F1 Victory and its Limited Edition. It also comes with Lewis Hamilton figurine on it. I will show it to you all in a few weeks time when I receive it. The model could takes maybe around 2 - 3 weeks to arrived here in Brunei. But then I know it worth waiting.

This what I'm talking about...

After my previous post about the 1/43 scale Reventon, I was unsettled and keen to seek the 1/18 version of the super car. As usual, I tried my luck from the most popular buying and selling site in the world, ebay. Well as I thought, you can find nearly anything there including what I'm looking for, the 1/18 scale Lamborghini Reventon. There are few sellers in ebay selling it. From I see, there are two version of the 1/18 Reventon.

Our first choice: The cheaper good quality version Reventon, ranging from US$30 to US$50 made from Bburago...

...or another choice, which I personally prefer, the higher quality finished version, from MR collection, with pricetag starting from US$500 and comes with special packaging box as you can see below.

I did try my my luck and make an offer of US$150 to the sellers, but then...the seller did replied to my offer and...yea right...what do you expect :P like I am gonna be that lucky.

So I guess I am gonna to think about it again after Hari Raya.

The Lamborghini Reventon is a mid-engined sport car that debuted at the
2007 Frankfurt Auto Show.

It is currently the most powerful and expensive Lamborghini road car to date costing
around 1 million euros.

Handmade & limited to 100pcs only

I was shown this latest and very rare 1/43 Lamborghini Reventon yesterday from a friend. Well he's selling it for BND$399 actually. Wow! For me, its not worth the size. It is rare definetly and comes with a certificate like card saying that it is handmade and only 100 pieces avaiable worldwide. The model was kept in an exclusive made box as shown below. But then, if its on the 1/18 scale, I might think about adding it to my latest model collection.

Realistis, detailed and well crafted. Well painted and very collectable.

The exclusive black box and the display container comes with this model.
