Hot Wheel I customized next to a 45 colt. About as close as I'll get to having a real one.

Love the Moon tank on the front.

I'm not sure exactly what that body came off. I think it was one of the 100% HW's similar to this one. I still have 1000's of HW's but back when I did these I had a ton. I would just pick parts from what I needed and use them in making the customs. The chassis was pieced together but most of it was from the Mongoose funny car.

My vote for Hobbiest of the Year, hands down.

Sir, I compliment you for your passion.

Been spending quiet evenings with some knives and wood.

Would you make a spoon for me? In myrtle wood?

I'll pay.

Collect spoons, me.

[that guy]

Haha, I've never sold one or anything, it's just for fun. But I'd be happy to try if you can find a piece of wood you like and send it to me. No charge if you want to supply the wood!

 

[tac]

Sadly, I lives in the yUK, where myrtle wood is unheard of. It's not as though this stuff grows on trees, y'know!

However, the myrtle wood store in Garibaldi - on the bend on the right hand side as you come in from Rockaway Beach sells bits for home-carvers.....

No rush, next week will do

Besp

[that guy]

Ohhhhh, gotcha. Ok I'll keep an eye out. There is a woodworking store here in town that might have some carving pieces. I'll go check them out.

 

[tac]

Sir, you are not unkindness itself.

Should really have put this on things you have made thread, but right now I'm whacked out from shopping...




Love D&RGW, me.

@SA Shooter - do you know Aquilla Art Glass?

Yes, I have been there. I got the Mrs. some kiln furniture, shelves and glass there for Xmas last year at Aquilla.

Was up in the attic and found my old box of cameras. Now where can I get Polaroid film?
