And today's custom doesn't get any more boring than an Isuzu Amigo haha. I found it in a flea market scrap heap and gave it a simple repaint. It turned out pretty cool!

Matchbox Isuzu Amigo Custom
As you may have noticed, I enjoy collecting models of "normal" cars, ones you would see on the road on the way to work every day. Even as a little kid I was that way, one of my favorite cars being the old Matchbox Ford Mondeo casting. Of course, I have my fair share of Ferraris and Lamborghinis and such, but I have always enjoyed those "boring" cars.

"Postflight Briefing" - Finds for the Week January 24th 2015
Man oh man has it been a slow week for me... Stores aren't stocking anything new, none of my ebay finds have arrived yet, and it just sucks!! I didn't think I was going to have anything at all to post tonight, but something managed to be found, finally.
A friend of mine tipped my off about this, the Johnny Lightning 1981 Jeep Wagoneer. He came across them at the Tractor Supply store of all places. I'm helping my dad restore a Grand Wagoneer, so when he said he found these, I jumped on it. I never expected Tractor Supply to carry diecast, but they had lots of interesting stuff. Some Ertl General Lee cars, and various Johnny Lightning trucks. They only had two Waggys left, so I grabbed both of them.

Such a nice model! Here's our 1:1, just for reference.
Here's hoping that next week is more productive for diecast..
Happy hunting!

Hot Wheels Range Rover Classic Custom
Hello readers! Here is a recently finished Hot Wheels Range Rover Classic. What a great casting. You can't help but love these old Rovers, as questionable as their build quality may have been.
The Range Rover started the luxury SUV movement back in the 1970s and is arguably still the master of the craft.
For this model, a childhood favorite of mine donated itself, and working with it reminded me of what a cool casting this is. It's a shame they haven't used it anymore.

Black split 10 spoke wheels were donated from the creatively named "Police SUV" by Matchbox
She really cleans up nicely!
