Yea. Tell that to my dad. Also i have a sudden fetish for 1:18s.
And i have seen the 1:24s in burago. i dont like em that much. After Maisto bought BBurago, The quality has reduced by leaps and bounds.

Cyrus, the quality is the same. I really dont think Burago quality has been affected after Maisto's takeover. It is still the basic diecast model which screams for mods. I plan to pick up one just for some spare parts which I hope to use for a future project I have in mind.

Please tell me how you made that endcan! The evo 7 wheels don't look that good in comparison to the matte black ones.


Just to refresh your memory... Pics are old and of poor quality

In google images, search for your favourite logo.
Copy it into Microsoft word, reduce the size as per requirement and print it. Use paper glue like Fevistik to stick it. The better the printer, the better the sticker.

P.S.
Did you ever notice that the cap of a toothpaste container looks like an air filter?

OK, here is a sample below. You can directly use it.

Directly copy image to microsoft word. (Don't use Paint because it messes with the clarity after resizing).
Then resize it and print it.

OR

Save the image.
Open Adobe Photoshop.
File > Open > Select your picture
Then File > Print With Preview.
You can resize the picture in the preview and take a print.

Salil & Cyrus, I have probably mentioned this before in my earlier threads. There is a guy in Vasai who prints whatever you need on water transfer decal paper.
You need to submit the matter to him either on CD or email and he will get it printed on the transparent paper. You need to cut out the matter in whatever shape it is, soak it in water for a few seconds and then transfer it on to the surface you need it to be on. The cost is about Rs. 100 per A4 sheet...but the results are terrific. I dont have the model I used it on...But the minute I can lay my hands on it, I will take some pics and post it here. You can also print carbon fibre pattern on the sheet and cut it to the desired shape, maybe a bonnet or a hood scoop. Since the decal paper is very thin it can be easily pressed into any shape when its moist. Will find out the number and contact details of the guy and post it here.

Congrats GTA. Thats a very nice car. Any pics of the extra accessories that come with the model? Would love to see that. Gift Centre has a orange Porsche 996 in 1:18 that comes with the extra accessories. So tempted to get it. Don't know if it is already gone.

Cyrus, I don't think the wheels belong to the Toyota, do they? I do not know if its the photos, but with those wheels, the Toyota looks as if it is going offroad.

That is because there is a camber and ride hieght adjustment in the car. And the car is on its highest setting. Will lower it and take a few pictures. Gimme a few mins.
