Bumblebee Camaro Z28

Every kid following the 1st Gen Transformers would always remember Bumblebee as a Volkswagen Beetle. But after the release of the 1st installment of the Transformers Trilogy everyone's perspective changed from the small and weak Bumblebee to the kick-ass American muscle. Since then Bumblebee's evolution has become a major attraction to Transformers fans. From the old school Z28 to the 5th Gen Camaro every collector has waited for every model that will come-out. 

Right now what I have is the Jada version of Sam Witwicky's 1st car. The Z28 Camaro. Weathered and tagged exactly $4000 same as how much his father bought it. They just used a 1981 Camaro body but its still a Bumblebee replica thus the long scratch at the right side.

Good thing a friend sold his white variant. Hopefully will get it this month. Then will hunt for the mettalic red variant.

Burago 1:64 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X

It's been a while since I added something in this blog. Been too busy lately. Now finally had the time to add something.

Here I have one of the recently released models of Burago. The 1:64 Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X. Waited for weeks to get a hand on this beauties since I'm in Cebu. If I was in Manila I could have got it a couple of weeks ago. But after getting them last night I realized the wait was worth it.

Paying 150pesos each was not bad. Considering the size is bigger than the regular HW 1:64 scales and you get more realistic wheels.

It comes in 2 variants. I hope they add more. One is red and the other one is white. Details are not bad as well.

Here are some additional shots of the model.

All in all Burago is starting to improve their models lately. Their recent Ferrari releases are not bad either. So I'm definitely getting more from this brand soon.

And as one of my friend said "not all beautiful red cars are Ferrari", an Evo X could also be one of them...

Evo X Rally Hokkaido

Had the time to shoot some model cars yesterday. It was supposed to be an outdoor shoot but since it was raining the night before, I had to settle for an indoor shoot instead.

This time I have a Rally Car version of the Mitsubishi Evo X. Used in the 2009 Rally Hokkaido.

The 1:43 scale model. This model was made by Vitesse. Got beautiful details and livery on this one. Hoping that I could get more Evo X like this soon. 

Was also able to do some outdoor test shots but decided to stay indoors.

Gone in 60 seconds Eleanor

Gone in 60 seconds' Shelby GT500 "Eleanor", one of the most famous Mustang cars to hit the big screen. It's famous get away run on the streets of Long Beach made it as famous as the GT390 "Bullitt" Mustang which Steve McQueen hurled thru the streets of San Francisco.

I loved this film because aside from the Mustang, it also featured many exotic cars and of course lots of red Ferraris.

Here is the car that immediately made movie history.

Lamborghini Murcielago R-GT

Was not really a Lamborghini fan. But lately I had this urge of buying 1:43 racing/sports version diecast. So after seeing this model I grabbed it and brought it home.

The Murciélago R-GT is the racing version of the  Lamborghini Murciélago, developed by Reiter Engineering and Audi Sports Division. It was introduced during the 2003 edition of the world famous IAA Frankfurt Motor Show. Not like the street version, the R-GT is rear-wheel drive. Only 9 cars were produced from this line.
