Here are the comparison of 1:18 and 1:24 scale car models. Today I will use the 1:18 Porsche 911 Turbo against 1:24 Porsche Cayman S that I built myself recently.

A new model kits I bought recently, the Audi R8 by Revell. Most car-modellers will know Revell is from U.S and the kits is Made in China, so quality wise it is not to par compare to the rival japanese car models company. The main problem with Japanese car model kit company is that the model they cater are very limited. They manufactured mostly on japanese cars and very little on continental cars. I used to hate this car until I saw the real thing. It was jaw dropping and recently I had the chance to sat in one at T.C.Y Motor who is the local dealer for Audi. It is selling at $269,000. Very cheap compare to some other supercars ! Too bad the color is in British Green.

This is the first time where a kit I bought came with cement, paints and brush

Yeap, all those accessories are made by Revell too

I am sure most of you guys out there had watched the anime Detroit Metal City. It is a short 12minutes animation that runs for 24 episodes. It has to be one of the most hilarious music animation ever. I am not going to talk about the anime today but instead the figurines by Revoltech. I have to say compared to Figma, Revoltech articulation is no where near Figma. Firstly I hated the Revoltech "step" mechanism on all articulation. The DMC figures couldn't stand very well on its on. So I have to pre-select some poses so that it can stands on its own. Anyway enough complaint. Check out the pictures

Alexander Jagi - Guitarist

Camus - Drumer

One thing about Revoltech is that continuous moving of the articulation joints will cause it to come off its connecting joint, it might seem a small problem but I really hate to see things falling off when I am doing some articulation poses.

Articulation on all figurines was pretty neat, we can do lots of posing with their "steps" articulation, this I agreed for the first time

Overall, I think Revoltech still looses out compare to Figma. LOL. For qualities and colors, it is 100% satisfaction for me. The guitar was painted to such an extend it look like the real thing from afar. Lots of accessories was provided in the packages too.

Recently, Revoltech relaunch their product with a newer packing and contain even more accessories. We shall see about that when I move on to my latest Gurren Laggan collection on my next blog.
