Tomica Honda CRV Custom Restoration

This Tomica Honda CRV was restored for a great friend Romy and great man. This was actually the vehicle they (Bickford, Eric and Romy) used in their 2008 Road Trip' across America.
I restored the paint because it had plenty of major scratches and nicks, added some paint details and change the wheels and tires. It will be a souvenir for Romy to remember.

I don't have a before shot because I forgot to take one, but its your ordinary dark red colored crv with lots of scratches!

the outcome...

Subaru Impreza 22B and WRX STI

Some great Subarus to add to my collection.
Both 22b's are variants, i got the black hood variant from a set together with the WRX STI.
These three are made by Carisma and have excellent details.

Hotwheels Ford Thunderbolt Custom

I have two castings of this wonderful car. I kept the 1st edition in mint condition and customized the 2nd one, i made it more of a street type American muscle car.

Just a few work done, I removed the tampos using nail polish remover, added paint details on the front and back grill, and some cool looking hotwheels sets of shoes from the Auto Milestones series.

Here's the original version of the Ford Thunderbolt.



and here's the outcome...

Kyosho Nissan Skyline R32 and R33

Finally I was able to get these two skylines made by Kyosho. Exquisite details and superb paint finish. I'm still deliberating if I would get their R34 because I already have 2 castings from Ayoshima( Mine's Skyline) and by Johnny Lightning( the FNF2 version).

Custom Chevy Pickup with Trailer

I had this Chevy Pickup for about 3 years already, and I only bought it just for its wheels, and then sent it away to the dark deep dungeon for later use.


And now, After acquiring a trailer coming from a Maisto set, I finally decided to customize it.


Nothing fancy on this custom, just repainted the pickup and the trailer in flat black, added new wheels on the chevy and some rear brake lights on the trailer.



getting ready to load up!
