What happened to our hobby??

[Supra_Fanatics]

I have to say collecting models (esp well-known brand, quality and large scale ones) cost lots of money. A few years back, I switched to making model using paper-folding (origami). Just cost some thick paper and a decent colour printing, all at a fraction of cost.

There are tonnes of model templete out there, to satisfy ones desire, so long you have delicate fingerworks and lots of time. There are plenty of cars out there like:

Pagani Zonda - Paper-Super-Craft
Lamborghini Aventador A-E2 . Ultimate Papercraft Supercar - Português
Papermau: Original Super Car Paper Model - by Tata Craft Maker
Lamborghini Countach LP400 - /po/ Archives

"Built, Not Bought"

Yes it does cost a lot of money. Collecting die-cast actually some cost more than certain performance parts for our cars. Especially die-cast from Kyosho and AutoArt. I always wanted the AutoArt AE86...but still not the time for it yet at this age. Lots to plan and got to minimize spendings.

plastic shuttlecock last longer, compared to the feather ones. However, plastic ones flies, um....kind unnatural.

What to do, just trying to get the best bang for buck for me...

Plastic ones cannot use lah! Kids play ok.....hhahhahahah

Wanna play good badminton game, really have to get high quality cocks.

Yup, that is why the high cost. When playing last time the monthly contribution went to the shuttles rather than court cost....

Wow, nice thread here. Long time since not posting in this forum.
As for me, I always love classic, historical or antique item.
Manage got some antique item like coin & stamp. But mu storage is bad. I know I kept it somewhere but can't find it later. :stupid:
I fall in love with cars after read car magazine. Found out EK9 and Ad Resort California are the nice one.
I also love to play futball, then futsal. But sad things happened, have to stop play futsal after got surgery in my stomach.
For the time being, I'm not sure what is my real hobby. Coz, my kid is growing up and better spend money on them.

Your next generation finds it, will be worth a fortune......

Ya, cuz tried buying cheap ones also. Smack a few times rosak adi. Although expensive ones cost more but it is not that fragile and it flies better...More accuracy.

Ah Shit, lucky u reminded me. That time we use to have a group playing. Suddenly after I bought my shoes, one of the member or leader injured leg adi. So until today we stopped and never continued.

My shoe bought adi also no chance to use much. Need to find new groups.

Yup, try for once, get expensive ones and u will never pick up those used ones again.
Used ones I only use when playing with girls only. Since the only thing they do usually just want the ball to fly up to them thru and flow only...not all girls though. Some are real good.

my dad bought me a die cast model BMW 6 series 1989 CSI when I was 10 years old, had to built it myself but in the end ended up glueing the wheels & car does not move.
he later bought a BMW E21 2 door, remembered always scraping the front lips when exiting subang parade. when I grew up bought myself a E90 also scrapped my CF lips on the ramp when exiting the same mall.

guess my dad was the one that inspired me bout beemers & cars when I was young.

**still having my 8 series beemer & e36 325i 2 door diecast at home & had it when was younger, now its belongs to my son & the 2 doors & rear boot broke off, 2 tyres missing......
