Lesney #53c Ford Zodiac Repaint

I tried a new color on this old Zodiac, I think it works pretty well! Could definitely see this being a color offered back in the day.

Hot Wheels 1970 Ford Escort RS1600 Custom

This Mk1 Escort is probably my favorite casting to come from the blue side of the toy aisle in a LONG time! They really nailed this one, and has been a flavor of the week amongst the HW Hoarders ever since it came out. I finally managed to score a couple of them this week, and immediately took one of them to the workbench.

I'm not a big fan of the Fast and Furious franchise, so the first order of business was to return this one to stock. Shame that the foglights cannot easily be removed, but it's a gorgeous casting. My stock of trusty Matchbox disc wheels at the ready, I got to work. It came out pretty nice. Here's hoping I find some more to customize soon!

Lesney #28c-Jaguar Mark X Restoration

A favorite Lesney casting of mine to share with you tonight. The fabulous Mark X Jaguar! This one wasn't in bad shape to begin with, but it reeked of cigarette smoke and just needed a little love. 






I've been on a white kick lately for some reason, every car I can think of just looks great in white. So what do you think? I painted the interior a slightly darker shade of tan as well. Notice I kept with my tradition of leaving the chassis paint alone. :)
