Hello to every car modellers out there.Seen all the photos that you all have posted.There's only one word that i can find to describe them - IMPRESSIVE.Hope to see more of your photos.

Back to the topic...i'm from Singapore and i wish to know from u AF members from Singapore where do u guys get your car models from?Any good place to recommend?I only know of 2 places - one in marina square and another in bugis junction.

www.hlj.com I get most of my models and accessories from here:cool: Welcome to AF:wave:

or here http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/plamo/index_e.asp?Bno=2885355&Typ1_c=102

Welcome to AF

there ones in Istan.. or whatever you spell it
its on toy department store.. well i dunno if its still ther cuz last time i went it was 3 and half years ago lol

Hi there... welcome to AF...

There are a few nice shops around..

> The Orchard Store -- At Specialist Shopping Centre
> Central Hobby Plus -- At CentrePoint
> Tai Seng -- Importer for Tamiya.. great deal
> A small hobby shop at Far East Plaza
> A small hobby shop at Tiong Bahru Shopping Centre
> A small but well stocked hobby shop at the Katong Shopping Centre

Umm... where's the one at Marina Sq?? Can't seem to remember any... or is it a new shop?? I have been in Aust for too long I think.. :p

Any other shops I missed out????

I got them from Tai Sing, or maybe even Popular BookShop :)
And try getting from Wong too!~ :)
His website : http://asiapac.worldpay.com/cnb/shop/mediamixhobby

well, to add to the list, there is a newly opened hobby shop in Jurong east IMM. its a branch of the hobby shop in Tiong Bahru Plaza. There's another 1 at Grandlink near Paya Lebar MRT station specialized in cars and bikes. for further details of the location of the shops, you may email me at bibendumz@yahoo.com.

Geez, I was wondering.. where can I get discounted kits,rims and spoiler in Singapore? :D

( On budget! ;) )

seems to me that the prices of car kits are quite standard in singapore......costing ard 28.90 for a normal tamiya kit and 30++ for better kits from tamiya,fujimi,revell....etc

I agree, everywhere is almost the same price but sometimes, popular have discount :)
Still.. where got get spoilers and rims.. :confused:

For discounts, wait till the major retail outlet has Sales, like Isetan etc. normally, its 20% off, though don't expect an awesome range......

For wheels..looks like you will have to mail-order for Fujimi and Aoshima.

Perhaps the Singapore builders can combine together for a group buy...

Derek

Forhod:
There is a shop at Grandlink Square, Paya Lebar selling rims and also the aoshima 3 piece wing set. But it cos rather expensive, i guy at the shop told me the price for the rims are between S$10.90 to S$18.90 if i remembered correctly, and the 3 piece spoiler set i think is around S$20. I just went down last week and they are having a 20% discounts on quite a number of models.

thanx for all your contributions.....gonna grab some real bargains from those places!!

Thanks for the info njh.

But my pocket is real tight and moreover I am currently now at my final year exam period. Guess I have to wait for their next sale! ~ :p

:) Welcome, I am also having my exams soon. :)

Never thought I'd see so many modellers from singapore contributing to this forum.

:)

If we can save on shipping maybe we can order in bulk from HLJ or something.

Its sounds a great deal :p
What I really need is GT Wings and.. probably rims!~

Umm... sounds gd... any1 knows who is the importer for fujimi n aoshima in sg??? For tamiya... it's Tai Seng...

Tai Seng used to b the importer for Tamiya n Fujimi... they give discount if u just walk into their showroom also.. ;P

Tai Sing has brought in some fujimi stuff recently, from the tuning evo series.

umm.. so are they still the fujimi importer???

I did see some Fujimi models there but not alot compare to Tamiya.
And I still buy from them with the same price on the market in Singapore :confused:

hmmm.....all singaporeans......maybe we can all come together, for outings to hobby shops for more bargaining power or share views and discussions.... anyone for it????

Count me in!

interested singaporeans pls email me at bibendumz@yahoo.com, pls state your nickname, real name, contact no. etc..:flamer:

anyone knows where's the location of tai seng show room?

Geez, I don't really know which one is their showroom but...

An extract from Tai Sing FAQ.

Qns : Can i view your warehouse or showroom if i happens to be in Singapore?
Ans :es you can. For more information, please contact us at Tel no. 65-291 2633.
*Edit : ( Tell me what you know if you call that number :p )

But I visit at this place.

Tai Sing Corporation Pte Ltd
732, North Bridge Road Singapore 198700

That place is hard to find at first but now I now the way :)
Get my paints from there.. but they ran out of white primer...
Where can I get white primer now..

I think you can try the shop at Tiong Bahru Plaza for the white primer.

Okey thanks.
I'll check it out.

hello,
I'm newbabies here...Just wonder this website is from which country?I have watch all buddys here got there self ITR,S2000...hondas enthusiasts here..ahhaaaa:) :) :)

I also honda enthusiasts...I just bought a fujimi ITR DC2...last week at singapore bugis juction shopping...

I also honda enthusiasts...I just bought a fujimi ITR DC2...last week at singapore bugis juction shopping

In my opinion, that hobby shop in Bugis Junction is way over priced. its kits can reached up to over $60. Somemore the finished car kits on display sucks...poor workmanship with just lots of clear paints.

They do have 2 nice models on display.. the Warsteiner CLK-DTM and the silver Peugeot 206. The finish on those 2 stands out, and the 206 has photoetched parts.

Hi Singapore guys and gals,

What's your idea of the perfect hobby shop? Location? Prices? Range? Service? Bao-ka liao?

cheers,
Wong

Heheh... I agree with you man... that shop in Bugis is a rip off... remember the last time when they used to have a huge shop... now its just a little corner... heheh..

The price there is not justified... and if you ask them anytihng abt car models... they then to talk big... try it out... :D

I usually go to the shop at Far East plaza. The guy there (can't remember his name) is very friendly.

Hmm, maybe one day I'll drop by Bugis and check it out. :) Pretty curious what they got there.

Hehe, Wong the best :p

Hmm..If I recall, they didn't clean up all the panel lines on the Peugeot 206.... The CLK though, was pretty good.

For hobby shops, with all the forums now a days, prices are most important, since a wealth of information can be found at various places, and Wong has one of the best prices and range worldwide eh.

Derek

Hey Wong, why don't you set up a real shop? You've got a ton of stuff others don't have.


For 1/43s I usually check out F1 World near bugis junction, and for cars I buy them at miniature hobby at marina. I hear they're expecting a bunch of fujimi civics soon. If we can show them there's a demand they'll definitely bring in more fujimi stuff next time. Me, I'll probably get at least 2 civics for myself.

I think the problem with setting up is the rental cost among other problems, and this may cause his prices to go up?

Also, car modellers are still a rather niche market here, not like armour or planes. How many customers can he draw setting up a shop, selling only cars and alcad? Unless we stake out his store everyday...hehe....

Hmm..I wanna get one of the Civic!~
Damn cool!~
Where's the store?

What's your idea of the perfect hobby shop? Location? Prices? Range? Service? Bao-ka liao?

well...in my opinion, there cant be a perfect hobby shop for everyone.

location - i will not mind the location because everywhere in singapore is considered near. Preferably the location is easily accessible by public transport.

Prices - i felt that price is extremely important given the fact where most modellers are still students. To me, a kit which cost over $60 in some hobby shop(s) is way too expensive. (their knives are indeed sharp)

Range - of coz the wider the range of kits the better.

Service - internet buying, i have not tried yet due to the fact i do not have a visa or credit card. Troublesome to get bank orders and risking the fact the purchase may not sent to you due to many reasons.

As for hobby shops in Spore, some treats u like glass when u walk in and their common quote is "all stocks on the shelf" or "don't have that in spore".

bao ka liao - there is a price to pay for bao ka liao. of cause everybody will not mind if the price is reasonable.

bibendumz,Rcaerosport,sausage,twoninety,njh..Pleas a stated ur contact nubmer here...Next time when i at sing i try find out all experts here for gathering...And my contact number is 012 2399966..U can SMS me by this number +60122399966 thank man!

I think that the most important thing to me is that the staff of the store will let me browse in peace. The staff at Bugis were all over me like a hawk. I don't think i look like a crook.. may have longer than average hair but that's all.

That's why I like the shop at Far East. He lets me browse in peace everytime.

That is very true, and I don't go there much anymore.

There's another shop near redhill where this old lady keeps staring at me non-stop as I browse. One of their staff was even staring at me wide-eyed for at least 10 minutes one day.. I just gave her an angry stare and walked out.

Well.. some shops are like that. Try the shop at centrept... they even follow you arnd the shop. I just dont understand y they have to resort to such actions... I can understand that 10yrs ago i look like a beng.. but not now at least...

Personally.. i will avoid those unfriendly shop... a friendly shop is the orchard store at specialist... try it..

loLZ!~ All Ah beng ah here? loLz.. :x j/k

I just dropped by Bugis the shop.
Roy's Hobby Shop I suppose..
The tamiya kits there are standard price ..
but for the fujimi?

BTW, I have some models I wish to sell. Do drop me a PM or e-mail if interested. Mainly F-1 models, but with some other rally models.

Regards,
Derek

Hi modellers in Singapore. Would like to make friends with all of you. I would like to include your completed model cars in my webpage. Hope you guys can check it out and e-mail to me. Page is updated nearly every week. Included are also shops in Singapore.
www.sr-garage.com

Hi there and welcome to AF :wave:
Your website is great with those infomations :)

I have a scale modeling message board for singaporean hobbyists... the main focus is on sci-fi stuff, but I do cars as well.

You can check it out at

http://machinemess.singaporeanimenews.net

Nice site you have srlxy.

Hi guys and gals,

Thanks for the feedback on the model shop 'survey'. Like Derek said, having a physical shop would increase the cost and price of the items. Hence, I'm staying virtual for the time being. Another reason is I've more overseas customers than local! I guess the locals (myself included :-)) would like to touch and feel before buying. Anyway, give my web-shop (URL below) a look and try. My offer: free postage in Singapore for cash payments.

BTW, if you are looking for Alcad II, drop me an email or PM, I've stock.

cheers,
Wong

Last week, i went down to the hobbyshop at Paya labar, Grandlink Square and it has lots of model cars(example: Aoshima, Fujimi, Tamiya)!!! It also sell Rims, Decals and some parts to make your model car look sporty!!! I brought one Nissan Skyline 25GT R34 from Fujimi and its bodykit looks cool! Have time went there and take a look!:licker:

Sorrie about this... where is grandlink?? I havent been back in sg for some time... is it a new building?? The new post office buidling next to Paya Lebar MRT??

No, not the new post offices! I have draw a map of where the Grandlink Square located and hope can help you all!;)

u sure ornot? sounds like u r advertising for them. r u the owner? y not just be honest? Nothing wrong with that. No prob at all.

Haha,
Actually the shop at Grand Link Square has many accessories and they are many on cars and bikes! Some cars in Singapore can be found only there as other places do not import them. Sorry to say this, but some of their stock are a little over priced. The rest are well worth it! Only that getting there is a little difficult. And the shop owner sometimes open late or is missing for a long time so making me wait outside for so long...

Currently working on these few kits while the rest are waiting for me in the cupboard or on the table... Too many kits, too little time

Heard that Tiong Bahru Plaza landlord is chasing the hobby shop away as a big company wants to rent the space around there...
If that shop is to close, then we can only go to IMM (their branch)...
Might be a distance for many of us....
Haiz...
Is it so that $ can do so much???

Chasing the shop away???!!!
That is a good shop with models of all kinds, but does that also mean that the shop will be havbing discounts soon?

Hey, You Got the Aoshima Super Woofer aready??? I am finding where to buy that stuff!!! Can you tell me where you brought it and is it nice???:eek:
Is this picture the Super Woofer Van???

YUP!
This is the kit i got!
I bought it from HLJ
No where in singapore has it yet...
Quite a great kit!
Planning on hiding ear phones in it so that i can play it...
But will be too soft...
Bodykits do not fit properly so had to use putty and pegs...

Yup, thats a great shop but as nothing is confirm yet, there is no sales..

I believe the shop at grandlink plaza will be getting some.

Maybe
but it is not included in his stock list of coming arrivals...

The shop at Grandlink Square said that he wanna order this Aoshima Super Woofer and the 3 pieces GT wings! When those stock arrives, i must quickly go grab those models and GT wings before they gone!!!:finger:

You mean to say that his GT Wings are out of stock already???
Wow, then thats really fast!

Yup! The Aoshima 3 pieces GT wings were very popular!!! So fast out of stock!! Last week i went down there also out of stock and said that new stock are coming soon this end of octorber!:dogpile:

hmmm...... srixy...i looking for that woofer van too...can i meet u up and have a look at the kit after my exams???? keke...:flamer:

Hey guys, leave one GT Spoiler for me!~ :p
Guess I'll drop there one day to have a look :)

I am currently still crawling on my first kit, the 300ZX Fairlady.
I have a side project, AMT Ford Tarus :)
Just saving up some money to buy the paints to continue :)

Hey Sure
But I will most likely complete it by the end of this week and have it posted on my webpage
Keep in contact!

Short Term Goal
Undo the damage done to my CLK DTM and finish the darn thing. :mad:

Long Term Goal
Bought a Tamiya 1/12 Williams FW-14B (thanks Derek :D ). Muster the courage to open the plastic bags and finish it before I'm too old!

Hey, which school are you guys studying?
I'm studying in TP.:)

Use to be from NYP
Then kena kick at the butt and flew out of the damn school...
Not willing to give me a chance...

It's never too young to start. I started when I was about 12 or 13 can't really remember. My parents were a bit jittery coz they did not want me to handle knives, paints and solvents when I was that age. :D

All of you are so young. I feel... OLD.

Heh... me in uni now... final yr final semester.. so bz that I cannot find time to touch my models... :(

When I was about 12 i cut myself with the penknife accidentalyl while building a tamiya 1/10 buggy. It was just a small cut and I wiped the blood on my shirt every few seconds. Soon my whole shirt was red and I went to the kitchen to get a drink. My mother was screaming.

The wonders of slow-clotting blood.

It is never too young to start..
In fact the younger you start, the more experience you will gain slowly and more kits over the years!

Its never too early to start, my first car model was when i was in sec 2 also, but only started again this year.

By the way srlxy, how did you get kick out of NYP?

Hey, which school are you guys studying?

i currently struggling in my studies in Singapore Institute of Management, beside ngee ann poly.:flamer:

Thinking of gathering all modelers in Singapore for maybe weekly meet ups for ideas, discussions, more bargaining power etc...but so far not successful..:flamer:

Hey,
Count me in for your gathering!
By the way, remove because of poor attendance, bad attitude and poor results...

Thanks you guys!! :p , so i will try to post my current project car Nissan Skyline R34 25GT and let you all see how is my skill! (maybe not so nice...:( )

Age is not a problem to start :)

I received my first kit at the age of 6, I regreted I didn't start..
Until I found the kit now... ( I'm 15 now ) and start doing it as my side project.

I'm currently studying at Loyang Sec :) 3rd year.

Geez.. getting off topic.. loLz.

And oh yeah... I'm a Skyline Lover too :p

I bought my first kits in Pri 6. Back then, very cheap, only $2 for an Airfix helicopter and tank each. Went home and kenna caned by mother because she thought it's a waste of money. Still remember I've asked my big brother for help in applying the decals. No painting, just glue everything and decals. Still very fun. Then Sec school days were better as Hasegawa and Matchbox appeared locally and below $10, can get pretty lot of kits. Army days were productive with more money and time. But U days have to stop because of no money and also looking for gf :-) Unfortunately, after all these years, my skills are still crap! So your theory does not apply to me. I think it's my oily fingers :-(

Wear gloves. :) The surgical kind.

I am very interested in the carbon-fibre decals for the Jag XJR-9LM. I'll be in touch. Still deciding which kit to buy.

Hi guys
Just want to let you know that the GT-Wings is coming in late november not october at R Tunedin' Motorsports

Thanks for the info.

How do you guys fight the high humidity here? It really affects the gloss factor. Spray in an air-con room? Or does anyone know where to find a food dehumidifier here?

hey,
better not spray in an air con room.
as the fumes are actually poisonous and will react with your body in the long run. do not inhale too much...
I normally spray them in the morning and leave them to dry in the box to prevent dust and other factors...

Err...Tamiya and Gunze paints aren't that hazardous actually, though it may stink. The problem is the moisture in the air reacts with the paint, and causes it to lose out on gloss. If we were in a cooler climate, one would be surprised at how much easier it is to turn out a glossier coat...

well...all along i do not have problems with the gloss on the paints. i do not wax or polich my cars either. Just remember to spray paint during the day only. you can take a look at my (Jason) blue GTR34 in the guest garage of srixy's website, sr-garage.com, just Tamiya Mica blue and clear only.

IMO, the techniques of spray painting is very important to attain smooth, even and glossy paint work.:flamer:

Well DUH!!! :bloated: :D ;)

I usually just clear coat my models, it is pretty shiny. Just be careful, it may yellow white decals.

cheers,

Sorry.. R Tunedin' Motorsports is at?

hey guys just came from a trip down in Singapore and decided to check out the R-tuned-in store at Grand Link Square. Just bought about US$100 worth of stuff from there. Very complete store and it was difficult to decide what to buy! Bought 7 sets of rims, s2000 v-spec, tamiya r33 skyline and the Accord Sir wagon. The owner, David, is a really nice guy. So if ever you're in singapore, you definitely have to check that place out if you're a car or bike modeller

If you wanna know where is R TUNERin' at? It is in Grandlink Square (paya lebar)! Check out this map i have draw on this forum(this topic) page 4!!! I only draw where is Grandlink Square is!!!:D

Opps!~ I forgot you posted it.. :x
bri g really recommands that place.. gotto run that place when I'm free..
I can't believe you bought US$100 of stuffs.. wow!

Fabulous works, Jason! I like your bikes! How you paint the brake discs?

Wong,

Regarding the brake discs, its just a mixture of Tamiya spray can, semi-gloss and pure white (straight from the spray can). Nothing difficult about it just that some spraying skills involved. Everybody can do that.:flamer:

hi forhod, it took me more than an hour to find that place! should have checked the map that was posted here by skyline, I got lost at aljunied. I would have spent more too but didn't have anymore money :bloated: They also have a few metal mufflers left for S$8.50 I should have picked one up. If ever I'm in singapore again I'll definitely check that place out

Although I am quite aware that I ain't Jason :finger4: (thanks for noticing) :D

But I just put masking tape over the circle thing and cut it out with an exacto. (although sometimes it doesn't turn out circular.

Thats not strange as a singaporean lost in singapore!!! When i first time been there, i also amost lost but lucky i refer to the map at the MRT station!!!:D

Haha,
Not strange to get lost there.
the first time i went there, i did not know that i have to turn in to Geylang road to enter Grandlink's car park.
Ended up missing the turn and making one big round.
Location is a little inconvinient but well worth the time taken to travel up till there.
The best model car shop in SINGAPORE!
True, the boss is really a great and nice guy!
Chatted with him for more than 2 hours the other day at his shop!
Lucky that he did not think that I was wasting his time...

Oh, last time i went there, i chatted with the boss for an hour and went home kena scold by my dad for being going home late!!! I think that shop should be the singapore Best modeling shop for modified your model cars!!!:D Hope those stuff for modifly our model cars will arrive as soon as possible!:p

hi guys, for those who went to the hobby shop at grandlink plaza, did the boss gives discounts????:flamer:

some of his stocks are 20 % off
Some will be given 10 % off

Geez, anyone intending to go down his shop around this weekend?
I need to buy some markers.. :)

May go down there on Saturday. My gf's getting her hair done so I have the whole afternoon.

:)

david told me that an expert will be bringing his kits down.
can exchange some ideas

hey!~ Like that I'll be going down on Wed too :)

but there is no confirmation to it yet...

..............
ah!~
Nevermind.. since I am free at tomorrow's evening.. so still be going down.. :)

Wahoo..
The map helped me a lot.
But the problem is where is the shop? lol!~
I search for it and I found it anyway :)
Well.. it's a shame that I only bought a tamiya spray from him only..
If only my pocket aren't tight.. :(
Though I never really talk to him, but he is a great guy!~ He gave me 10% discount!~ ;)
He has quite a large range of kits, pretty great.
The GT Wings would be comming around end of next month.
CheeRz!~
:D

Izit the map i draw???:confused: The shop there is abit hard to find but worth it, it has many nice models and parts!!!:D

Err... If I remember correctly, his list price for a Tamiya Spray is $10.90? When most places charges $8.90 List Price? Please correct me if I'm wrong, as I did check it out carefully.

yah
really worth the visit!
Check on R Tunedin' Motorsports Gallery Under Guest Garage in my webpage
Working together with him so his latest stock arrival will be listed there
as soon as they arrive!

Darn!~ I don't really know the price well..
But the actual price on the receipt is $10.90, that's what he is charging..
But after he gave 10% off, it was $9.80.

So still overcharge?

*All prices are in SG Dollars.

I think it depends on what colour you buy, some colours also cost $10.90 at other shops.

Really? Marking up a product then marking it down again is an unethical business practise. Sad to say everyone does it here.

:aug2:

Anyway, will head down to the store at Tiong Bahru after work today. :) Heard so many things about it I had to check it out.

Hmm, I bought a TS-26..
Actual price is 10.90.

haha

Anyway, waiting for my CRX DEL SOL and EVO 7 Rally from HLJ...

Haiz....

Let me save my money.. :p

Hi, I am new here. And I am David R Tunedin'. Thanks for your support, will work harder. As for, why sometime I was late open and long gone is because I am 1 man show. Hope you guys understand that I am the only one mend the shop, and no one helps me. Of course the shop is only 7 months old, and I don't think that is the right time to expand my shop to website and getting sales personal.
I actually try to satisfy my customer as much as possible. To get models if there is still chance. Just don't 'fly kite', then that's ok.I like to talk about modelling and cars with my customer. I think it's quite hard for me to have chance talking with Singapore auto modelers. Feel happy when I talk to them, only thing is afraid you guys will say I'm too talkative. :p
For the GT wing, qty is limited. I only order 12 pcs, don't know is it enough. As for the Carbon fiber decal from Fujimi, I might stop bring in, since it is not that good. I will replace it by BBR. It's cheaper.
Most of the customers who walk in to my shop will have automatic 10% off all items, only selected item will get 20%. In fact, now most of my fijimi that are in red tags are on 25%. That's the max. The stock will not lower like MH. Most of the rims (new and old) will be in. EG6 is in. (I know is ex, but my shipping from Jap is ex too.)

Next time when you drop by my shop, could you guys tell me your ID from AF too. So I know who are you. Thanks.
If you guys going for gathering, can anyone call me. I really like to get more friends, especially the auto modeling friends.

Thanks for all your support,
David :) :)

by the way, David R Tunedin'..welcome to AF...
