Hot Wheels Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Custom

As a lover of Italian cars, naturally one of my favorite modern supercars is the Alfa 8C. I've been lucky enough to see a couple in person, and trust me they are absolutely breathtaking cars. Hot Wheels did a version of it, and it's only been used a handful of times.
I decided to try out my favorite color combo of grey and red on it, and man did it turn out nice!

Matchbox 1954 Jaguar XK120SE Custom

And next up is probably my FAVORITE modern day Matchbox casting, the Jaguar XK120SE. I've always been a fan of vintage Jags, and the boys in orange just got this one right in my opinion. Perfect proportions, detailing, and overall look. I have every standard release of this casting, and enjoy making customs too! I thought this nice metallic bronze over black interior suited the classy understated look of the Jag.






Hot Wheels Datsun Fairlady 2000 Custom

Got two to share this evening. I've been utilizing my day off to do some painting!! Lots more to come I now have about 25 cars painted and waiting for detailing haha. I'm hoping to get about that many more done to keep me busy over the winter when I can't paint :)

First is another Datsun, the recently released Hot Wheels Fairlady 2000 casting. I really like this one, and was anxious to see how it looked without any racing liveries, just clean. And I like the result!

Hot Wheels Datsun 620 Pickup Custom

I can't believe it's taken me until now to get an example of this casting up on the workbench! It's one of my favorites, I have every version released so far in my collection.

Nothing too crazy with this custom, just a repaint and a wheel swap. I think it came out pretty well!
