Nissan Dealership Diorama Project – Test Vehicle shots. :D

It’s been a while since I’ve focused on a hobby. Yes, I picked a new one and it’s building small-scale replicas of buildings called dioramas. I decided to build a Nissan Dealership and therefore required Nissan vehicles. The first vehicle I bought, just to see whether the scale can accomodate the market-sold car replicas, was the Nissan GT-R. 😀

As you can see, it’s far larger than the Q-steer/Choro-Q. Plus the Q-steer looks as if it’s not as serious wherein taking a Tomica would make the dealership look more realistic.The detail is also quite good despite being a Tomica on par with the matchbox and hotwheels. It’s not one of those Tomica Limited Versions that had better detailing but this cheapest line is still awesome as the important details are retained. Such as that GT-R logo on the grille.

I’m planning to get the Nissan Elgrand as well as the Nissan 370Z for the showroom area. Then I might get another set of those cars, preferably more GT-Rs and have them repainted. 😀

I’m a Tomica Collector when I was a kid and I know how nice it is to get it in this kind of packaging compared to the other competitors. It just looks rewarding. 😀

Worst Nissan GT-R Crash

I recently heard in the news that Richard Gutierrez, a famous actor here in the Philippines, was involved in a car crash that seemed to be very fatal. Though now, his conditions are already good. I later found out by reading GTRBlog.com as well as watching news stuff at youtube that Richard was driving a Nissan GT-R. The car had hit a post and crashed, hitting several trees on its final destination. Richard’s assistant was not able to survive the crash while the other fellow with him was able to survive with Richard. Man, to think a Nissan GT-R would crash in a country like the Philippines where a Nissan GT-R isn’t produced! Good thing Richard and the other guy is in safe condition.

Tamiya 1:24 Scale Nissan GT-R

I’ve built a plastic model kit before, specifically a Master Grade 1:100 scale RX-178 Gundam Mk-II but this is more interesting because I like cars a lot especially this one. This was from GTRBLOG.com and once this model kit goes out, I might save up some money to build one. Yep, save money because I’m not really a modeller. I’ve tried once and it’s a good experience but I want to try real life objects as well. This one is not from Bandai, though, but from Tamiya.

It’s not released yet but according to GTRBLOG.com, it will be out in the next month. Better save now~!
