I'm proud of our country's public transport buses and find it as good as HK buses. But I'm puzzled how come our country's buses are unable to win HK bus fans hearts just like how they love their city's buses and the model makers there begin to manufacture our local bus models for sale in HK? HK & sg buses are also similar in many ways.. Hopefully our local buses can capture worldwide attention of bus fans too!
HK buses vary in fleet and not forgetting livery on different buses. The model bus fans in HK are more into their own city buses -

I'd encourage bus fans from HK to consider coming to Singapore for your next holiday trip to try out our local public buses as I find it a little similar to HK's. Maybe from then on, we may start to see our local bus models appearing for sale in overseas model shops! Likewise, I'd like to save up enough money to go to HK soon to try out the buses and trams, as I got the urge to fly there ever since seeing so many pictures of beautiful public transport there! Also, I must go to the HK model shop and buy up as many bus models as possible and put them all into my extra big empty luggage! -
Be prepared to bring at least a thousand of dollars if you are trying to buy more than 20 bus models :)

Well said.The current generation now is very diff and the future gen is gg to be worse than this.No doubt abt that.Just look at how they control their parents.When we all were young we wouldn't even dare to command our parents like this.I just can't imagine what wld have happened to us if we had commanded our parents like this.The parents of the current and future gens are very very unlucky and are really gg to have a very hard time controlling their kids.This is all that i can say. -

Your perspective might change when you are a parent yourself.

Means if you are a parent you will be strict to your children.

OT: Depends on individual parents, If for me I would not give my children a chance! Give him a rod to fish instead of giving him a fish.
Cheers.

Agree. I'd rather spend money on my kids to buy (in this instance) bus models they like, rather than depriving them and eventually they get astray and mix with bad companies and become problematic kids. Perhaps to help balance; parents may consider setting some sort of budget for their kids and also as presents; say if they do well in their studies, behave themselves etc they get some rewards. If parents can well afford to buy them these presents, why not? But I'll disagree if their parents are struggling to make ends meet and yet their kids demand their parents buying luxurious items for them. -
hi.. can i know where can i get mobile crane model's in singapore? can u peoplo tell me the place n the shop so that i can get tham....

Try the Orchard Store if you have a deep pocket. If not, get some one to order from DHSDiecast. They don't come cheap (that is why I only bought one till now)...

I actually wonder how much all of you are willing to spend on
1) A 1/76 bus model ?
2) 7cm compressed bus model?
3) A 1/150 bus model with backdrop?
4) A book on buses?
(Photos are taken from http://www.80mbusmodel.com/eshop/ )
For me, maybe:
1) SIN$80
2) SIN$15
3) SIN$15
4) SIN$30
Wonder what you guys would say?
5) And btw, is there any shop in Singapore selling bus models from Singapore, Hong Kong, London etc? -
Orchard Store ...? where is it? can u tell me the shop name n nere where? thk's

5) And btw, is there any shop in Singapore selling bus models from Singapore, Hong Kong, London etc?For a 1/76 model im willing to go up to $75 depending if its a special bus. If it is just a regular bus model, $65 is the most that i will give as usually a HK model will not cost above $60. Anything above that must think twice.
For the QBus, the most i go is $12. HK they are only selling it for $8-$9. I dont expect to pay too much for it though it is also a limited edition bus.
For the 1/150..
From my understand,
Not very popular cos its not as detailed as compared to the 1/76 and also the quality of the worksmanship is also not there. If im not wrong, its not really that limited thus im not really willing to pay as much as $15.Book wise, HK$128..
If you do your maths, it only cost u about $26..
If someone were to sell me at $30..
Must consider. -
