Imagine walking into an old, forgotten barn and finding a vintage VW Bus just waiting to be restored. That’s the inspiration for this custom. It was a lot of fun and gave me the opportunity to try different weathering techniques. Hope you enjoy the video, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Custom Hot Wheels VW SP2

Still playing around with some different weathering techniques. This VW SP2 was a good candidate to try new textures with common household cooking products. I love the way that it turned out other than the fact that this particular car in real life would have a lot of fiberglass parts that wouldn’t really rust. The display overall is much better than I had originally envisioned! Makes me look forward to the next one.
Custom Hot Wheels VW Beetle Camper

Thought it’d be fun to do another custom using the VW Beetle truck. Playing around with different mediums to create this custom VW Beetle camper. After it was finished, I wished that I hadn’t included the piping around the edge of the camper, it was very soft metal and it moved on me while painting. I may go back some time and revisit this one and remove the piping. But overall, it was a fun project. Enjoy the video!

I’m supposed to be working on a 1:18 scale VW Beetle, but I saw this car on the pegs and thought it’d be a good candidate for a quick custom. I wanted this car to look like it has been sitting out in the elements for many years and even though many people have offered to buy it from it’s current owner, the owner refuses to sell it. Therefore, it will just sit and rot away. I wanted the display to have a lot of detail and though space is limited in these 1:64 scale displays, I think I was able to add just enough to tell the story.

Haven’t picked up any new die cast for a few weeks, but saw this little beauty at Hobby Lobby the other day and couldn’t resist. This is a very nicely detailed M2 VW Bus Wrecker. It’s a nice addition to the collection!

This will be the last Hot Wheels custom for a while. I’ll be starting on a 1:24 scale VW Beetle model in the near future. I want to do the model to hone my air brushing skills and work with different mediums. This custom truck was more of a filler to try a new rust/weathering technique. Overall, I’m pleased with the outcome, but it’s nothing special. I look forward to doing more of these over the winter months, but this will be the last for a little while.
Custom Hot Wheels VW Transport Part II

Finally got around to finishing the custom Hot Wheels VW Transporter. I had to take a few days to step back and rethink what direction that I wanted to go with it. I’m still not convinced that this is what I had intended to accomplish when I started this custom, but in the end, I did complete a new custom, used new medium and created something original. That’s what I had intended to do from the beginning. It’s certainly not my favorite custom, but it was fun and I learned some things along the way. I hope that you enjoy the video, be sure to like and subscribe for future updates. The next custom is just around the corner.
