Okay, now for the event coverage!
Manila International Auto Show is held annually and I believe the group Die-cast Cars Collectors of the Philippines (DCPH) holds it's swap-meet on the said event annually as well. And since I'm a member of the group, I decided to join the fun and set up a table for my merchandise together with a few colleagues who are members of the group as well. As with the last X-Mas swap-meet I wanted to have a fun and unique table so I decided to bring with me a diorama!
I had two weeks to prepare for the event and I though that was enough time to prepare all the merch and the diorama, but I was wrong! I was not able to finish all the custom cars that I plan to have on display and was not able to completely finish the car meet diorama. However, I did finish a lot of wheel sets for the event which was good.

Now the diorama pictures and the following pictures of my hauls were all taken at home. Why? No, it's not because I forgot to bring a camera on the event. No, I did not forget to take pictures of the event. I did bring a good camera, and yes enough battery and flash memory for the whole event. I just wanted to take photos of the diorama and the hauls at home where I have full control of the light. :D
Now off to my swap-meet hauls!
Now off to my swap-meet hauls!
The Aoshima, like the Kyosho, did not have any wheels so I decided to try my custom shoes on it. The wheel set that is on the Aoshima is one of my custom real rubber wheel set named +F01. The unbranded Toyota Quick Delivery Van is one of my favorite haul for that day, next would be the Majorette Toyota Hilux. The Hotwheels Porsche 993 GT2 are gifts from a colleague.
There were a lot more great die-cast cars being sold at the swap-meet, I actually had to talk my self into not buying too much. XD
And here are the pictures of the die-cast being sold, at the end of the gallery you might notice that there are no pictures of real 1:1 cars. Yes it was an auto show, however I did not have any wide lenses with me and the venue was cramped as hell with a lot of on lookers so taking good pictures were really hard. That is why I opted not to post the pictures of the 1:1 cars. Don't worry, I promise I'll do better next time! :D
Anyhow, enjoy the pictures and keep on overhaulin!
