Hot Wheels Fast and Furious cars

After a quick trip to the local Walmart, I came up with a complete set of the Fast and Furious cars.
I like the little bit extra added detail painting that makes them look just that much sharper.
Apparently these are rather hard to find, and the Mustang is especially difficult.
Guess I was just lucky that I was able walk in and find all 8 in the set.

I was also lucky enough that I grabbed a complete second set, which may wind up on Ebay.
Always nice when I am lucky enough to find something that I can sell and afford the set I am keeping for myself.
Just right place, right time on this one I guess.

A few more customs up for sale

Once I finally sold one, I have "broken the seal" so to speak, and feel that maybe I should sell a couple more of these little guys.

At first I was kind of attached to them, but now that the one is gone, I don't feel as attached to the rest of the family.

So these are all up on Ebay, under the title Hot Wheels Custom Kool Kombi.

Hopefully they can all find good homes too!

1970 Trans Am

Decided to give my eyes a little bit of a break, and work on something of a scale that makes it a little easier to see...

This is a Revell, 2-n-1 kit, but I have chosen to do the "stock" version. I just didn't like the bigger, more modern wheels on this one. Normally I am a big fan of the pro-touring look, but without major work to lower the suspension, it just looked like a stock Firebird with modern rolling stock.

The wheels were a little too shiny for my taste, so the got painted with a little more correct matte silver and detailed with black, and red center caps.

Added the decals, and detail painted the grill and parts of the suspension and undercarriage.

While doing that, I realized that I hd grabbed the bottle of Chevy Engine Red when assembling the powerplant, as opposed to the correct Pontiac Engine Blue color this one should be.

Oh well....

Interior is in the paint booth, and more detailing there yet to come.

Going to try and sell some customs

I have seen a lot of custom hotwheels lately that have wound up on Ebay, so I thought I would give it a try and see what happens.

Starting with my "hippie kombi".
Swapper out the tires for Real Riders rubber tires, some hippie decals, and a few other custom detailing ideas I had.

If interested you should be able to find it under the listing Hotwheels Kustom Kool Kombi.

Thanks again, and hopefully another tip or two this coming week!
