Why buy from Singapore when you can get in Australia?

Because there aren't very good model selections here, besides Revells, AMTs & Tamiya...Not many good kits of Japanese cars, and I have been to a site and seen the selection there....Its alot better for Japanese cars...I was thinking an Aoyishima Soarer & Maybe a Hilux lift-up. Being only 15 I dont have a credit card to order over the net if your wondering. At least I can get SOME afttermarket parts, mufflers, wheels metal accesories etc here in Oz

My friend is going to Singapore, in about 2 months or something. Do you know of any good model shops in Singapore that my friend might be able to visit? I mostly need accesories & my friend wants models. Any help would be great as we really wouldn't know where to go/start.

first car model was a 67 impala SS that was on sale for 5 bucks at payless. i just bought it on an impulse since im kinda an impulsive person. i did an ok job i think for a first timer and i was 10. i painted the engine bright neon orange. second was a shelby cobra which sucked ass. i use that as my practice car for painting. i just find an open spot and paint on it...haha. next was a porshae turbo..older one.. and then about a year ago i got a z3 and did so horribly that i just went all out on it with a hammer in frustration..aaaand... my latest was the ever so popular revell integ type r. best model ive done so far.

so ive done 5 models total in the last 7 years. modelfan1 you better watch out im gaining on ur 500 fast!:sun:
