My workspace is a wreck... my diorama is a wreck... my garage is a wreck (and cold). Ah well, here’s a MIF Monday for ya! Fiat 850 Sport that will get a restomod somday.

Had to take a quick trip through Keene NH today. Walmart didn’t have much for HW. Snagged a white Civic for customizing and the most perfect CR-X I have ever seen in a mainline. They also had just stocked the 1:64 NASCAR cars and there was three pegs full for me to drool over. NASCAR diecasts are insanely popular…

All they want to do is knock them on the floor. 

Just in time for French Friday! SN210's post a few weeks back pointed out an excellent sale going on at https://www.diecastmodelswholesale.com where many fine French NoRev automobiles are on extreme markdown (protip: the sale is still happening). With the holidays around the corner, I decided that one teensy weensy…

But, when I do, it’s the ones that make me LOL in the store. 

Because everyone’s collection needs a Ford Mondeo. Right?

This Trainwreck Tercel is going to get a full custom treatment. But, before it goes in the paint stripper, I figured I would snap some pics :) It’s pretty rough, the rear end is bent and I will need to muscle it carefully back into place! 

This was also in the RAOK package that I got from VDJ. The Focus RS looks pretty sweet in the Art Cars livery. Definitely needs some detailing and customization to bring it to life. Can’t wait to work on this one. 

Just got my K-Day mail in Batmobile and I have mixed feelings about it. The dark red with black/blue flames just doesn’t seem quite right. I want to say it would look a bit better in reverse. I do like the chrome classic wheels on this with the redline accent. Overall, a pretty neat exclusive. Not my favorite, but…

My wife and I like going to antique malls. Yard Sales. Estate sales. Etc. etc. Over the years we have amassed a decent sized stockpile of treasures, trinkets, and whatnot that are not entirely eBay worthy. So, when a new antique mall opened up about 40 mins away, we decided to join up and set up a booth! It’s…

I was in Target yesterday checking out their diecasts. This one caught my eye because The wheels might be ideal for a custom project I have been thinking about. It wasn’t until I busted it out of the package that I realized this fantasy cast has a cool little perk: fold out wings! I dont collect fantasy casts. But,…

Early age Majorette rolls like poop.  These wheels (although attractive) are slower than molasses down a turtles shell. Glad that Majorette put a little R&D in the wheels dept. because later cars certainly got faster. Love the paint on this car and the excellent cast-in details all over. Wonderful example of a pretty…

Yard sale find for a buck last weekend. Wasn’t expecting it. This Lesney was buried in a pile of cheap modern plastic toy soldiers and vehicles. Has all the nice Lesney details and solid build quality.

Welp. 22WardBurtonTrain22 got me all excited about 1:24 Scale NASCAR again... God have mercy on my PayPal account. I took a good long look at my collection and tried to find a hole, a missing piece, a gap where my driver admiration was not represented. It didn’t take me long to realize that I STILL didn’t have…

Part 3 of my 3 piece Yatming lot purchase. This Ford Galaxie has a bit of playwear and sadly a chunk of the front chrome is missing which detracts a bit from the overall beauty of this car. I might customize it or leave it alone. Not sure. It has time to dream it’s fate since my custom project pile is backed up pretty…

Absolutely love at first sight! This pushes all the right buttons for me. This is early age Yatming from when they were really really reallllly trying to be the best diecast car maker ever. Look at those details! On a Chevette?!!? Bliss.
