Read more "Lose the weight! Ottomobile’s 1/18 BMW E36 M3 LTW"When someone mentions the name Nissan Skyline, chances are, you’d be thinking of the holy trinity of Nissan Royalty, the R32, R33 and R34 GTRs. Or, if perhaps you’re into Kyushas, the first one that comes to mind might be the OG Hakosuka. But since we’ve already taken a look at the Hakosuka previously, I […]
Read more "Miniature Dreams: Ignition Models’ 1/18 KPGC110 “Kenmeri” Skyline 2000GT-R"For most people who know me, know of my love for all things automotive and all things BMW.

Read more "Red Velvet: Otto’s 1/18 Alpina B10 BiTurbo *Images down*"For most Auto-Otakus, this is a car that needs no description.

Read more "Because racecar! GT Spirit’s 1/18 Porsche 993 GT2 EVO"While many might rightfully argue that Autoart’s E21 323i isn’t exactly a off-off model, the one i have definitely is. It was (painstakingly) custom sharpie drawn on by my ex-colleagues as a gift for me when i left Nokomai, a creative agency which i’ve since returned to. The colleague who worked on it the most […]
Read more "One Off: Autoart’s 1/18 BMW E21 323i"The acceptance that nobody/nothing can be perfect, allowing them to come to terms with their imperfections yet not allowing these imperfections to define them and instead of hiding their flaws, they embrace them. This is pretty much the top definition of “Perfectly flawed” as found on urbandictionary.com and i think it sums up this model […]
