Picked this out of a grab bin at a local flea market. The body and and paint were in excellent condition, so I thought about just throwing some new wheels on it and calling it finished, but that would be too easy. Instead, I decided to make it look like it’s been sitting outside in the elements for about 30 years, just waiting to be restored. This was a fun one, I hope that you enjoy the video. More coming soon!

Some Recent Additions To The Collection

Just some pics of recent finds and additions to the collection. Some were gifts from my daughter and son-in-law. I can’t wait to mount the display that they got me to house my Sweet Sixteen cars. As you can tell, we’re particularly fond of die cast VW’s.
Custom Matchbox Gangster Car

This was a quick one, but I think it turned out pretty good. The idea was to talk this 1933 Plymouth police car and turn it into a gangster type of car using the Bonnie and Clyde car as inspiration.

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
November 4, 2019 by · Leave a Comment
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
October 13, 2019 by · Leave a Comment
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!
Custom Hot Wheels Hudson Hornet

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.
