Breaking Bad: Jesse Pinkman's 1984 Toyota Tercel 4WD Wagon

One of my all time favorite TV shows is Breaking Bad. When it was on the air I was a complete mega fan, and still am. It was one of the most brilliantly written and directed shows I've ever seen. Those of you that haven't seen it should check it out. I know the subject matter put a lot of people off, but there really is so much more to it than drugs!

Anyways, a cool aspect of the show to me was always the vehicle selection. Whoever was in charge of that must've been a real car guy, because all the vehicles used by the characters fit them so well. As the characters changed throughout the series, their vehicles changed too and the selections were just brilliant.

So I've been trying to collect as many of those show vehicles as I can. This is the 3rd one that I have.

Jessie Pinkman was one of the main characters. Walt's partner in the drug business, and he had two main rides throughout the series. The first one was a mid-80s Chevy Monte Carlo lowrider, which Greenlight produced earlier this year. After a couple seasons, it was involved in a shootout, and I believe it was taken by the police. Then, Jesse bought this delightful red Toyota Tercel 4WD wagon. He simply seized an opportunity to get a cheap car when he needed one, but somehow the car fits him so well. So I bought an orange Majorette version and painted it red to match! Here's the 1:1..



And my version:

Hot Wheels Toyota MR2 Repaint

I'm going to be moving again soon, so that means I need to finish up and post all the projects I have going right now before they get packed up! Starting with this Toyota MR2. Just a repaint, but I think it came out pretty nice.

Maisto Lexus IS300 Custom

Back at it again! Just a simple repaint and wheel swap to start things off. Got a lot of those Lesneys on the second shelf stripped and ready to go.... 

I'm a big fan of Maisto castings. What they sacrifice in interiors, they make up for with excellent casting detail and proportion. With some nicer wheels and a little detailing, they usually come out really nice. This little Lexus is no exception! Silly me forgot my red paint in the move, so no tail light details until I can find some haha.

Matchbox Toyota Tacoma Custom

How about this one?? I was glad to finally find an extra one of these to open up and play with! Very disappointed that the surfboards can't really be removed from the car without some serious body mods, which are far above my skill level. So they'll have to stay till now.
I've always admired that lovely green that Toyota sells these days, Spruce Mica. It's a stunning color if you've never seen one in person. This was as close as I could get...
