    Crown Kluger, yes, I know this car is the Highlander XSE, at least in China it's called that name.

    Xcartoys Tank 700 Limited Edition
    The limited edition of the 2024 China International Model Exhibition is only available for those who have purchased VIP tickets to exchange for one. Of course, this one was purchased from a second-hand website.

    So I have purchased this 1/36 scale Miata (link below), and I am trying to find a widebody kit that can fit this. I am also not that good at creating/modifying some scale cars, so every tip will be very helpful. I am looking for one like the Pandem/Rocket Bunny kit. I can 3d print the kits, although I will try to save as much money as possible (I am saving for my first car). Thanks for any and all help!;)

    this is my latest custom, ive been wanting to customize this volvo for a while but i just had to find the right color, i did sort of a retro/modern design, with the two tone seats, the white wheels, but then a matte green and a black roof, at some point i might add a roof box, and of course with any volvo wagon you have to have that iconic yellow license plate,

    The car is cool and I really like it, but the model is still a bit rough in terms of details. If you want better details, you should choose BBR or TARMACWORKS:(

    I didn't expect TLV to release the Chevrolet Astro. It won't be shipped until after October, so I'll buy one then:cool:

    im back with some more customs, and some new arrivals,

    1, ive always wanted a 1/64 pontiac aztek because its one of the best cars of all time but nobody made a stock version of it for some reason so i made one myself, its not perfect and i do plan on finishing the back with a aztek bumper at some point. i even found some aztek iconic 3 spoke wheels, /Update: i added a rear bumper, made out of foam that i painted accurately,

    2, honda odyssey, a while ago i made a silver odyssey which became my favorite, because the odyssey is the best minivan, but i wanted a white one, so finally after some learning and more skill, i made one and now i have a new favorite, i even added rolled down windows and a sunroof,

    3,this is a maisto 2000 saturn cv1 concept, a really weird minivan with folding doors,

    4, maisto 2000 chevy traverse concept, a really cool traverse 8 years before the actual traverse,

    5, maisto oldsmobile profile concept, a sleek modern minivan/hatchback that dosent look like its from 2000,

    I don't know if it's because it's manufactured in Bangladesh, but the quality control of this model is very poor. My friend bought this model and found that the wheel was broken……:(:(

    From afar the model doesn't look all that bad, and it's a nice colour too.

    But in this image, it looks like it was involved in an accident. Nothing is straight.
    Definitely an issue with quality control, I just hope it wasn't too expensive.

    I bought it for 73 RMB (about $10), and I looked at others. It seems that this issue is also present in other cars, and it's even worse than me.:(

    These two cars were purchased by my friend and are even worse than me.
