I have been tinkering with Hot Wheels again. Some of the new castings are very well done, (just like they were lifted from some nice current kits in some cases...)

All of these feature my decal art. Most are just quick and fun, but I did put a little extra effort into the Vette.

I have gone back to my "real plastic toy models" instead of these "kids toys"... (for now.)

Seriously though, these are great for getting a feel for and testing model paints and schemes without spending a ton of time to find out if it looks as good outside your head as it does inside...

Camaro (I know it's not an original idea anymore, but I got the date right if it happens next year)

Cuda III (Well, the back looks a little Charger III ish to me...)

And those who know me know how much I like these blues...

Sweet!!! I constantly find myself picking up Hot Wheels that are similiar to what I'm working on in 1:25th. I eventually want to do some mini versions of my builds. Any good sites to check out to get started?

those are amazing.

I have often thought of trying that, but have no idea where to start. I know I would have to drill out the rivets on the base, but how do you reattach them?

You can check this site out.

http://www.hotworldcustoms.com/

It has several How-To's that I have done over the years. Lots of pictures and captions make it very easy to follow.

If the link doesn't take you directly to my How-To section, look on the left side of the top of the page for "Features". Under that click on "The Scale-Master". Hope that helps.

And I just use super glue to put them back together most of the time...

Maybe I should write something for the magazine along these lines. Whaddya think Gregg?

Wow, thanks a ton for the link. That's exactly the kind of site I was looking for!

I'll second that. I see a few of these in my future.
