Thorrr

Who hasn't been laughed at???? At least us married guys can tell our wives that because we have this hobby we haven't got the time or money to be out chasing other women

Neither colour ... it's actually a "warm" silver, I think the light from my lamp made it look a bit more yellow that it actually is.

After exchanging PMs with a fellow member of the HWC message Board, they expressed interest in a pink 442, and since I had a couple of the 1968 442s (I have a soft spot for the OldsmoBuick muscle cars), I said that I would do one.... FastForward several months and here she is, my version of a pink 442. I have to admit that I just love how this one turned out.... very happy with it. Mild build, just paint and wheels Casting - HotWheels 1968 Oldsmobile 442 Wheels - Maisto Thanks for looking.

Here in Oz the pegwarmer is the Track-T, closely followed by the Dragtor and .... not sure why...... the Buick Grand National

Larrys have been available at K-Mart stores in Australia, but not very many hanging there, because they are expensive - AU$8.99. Some Wayne and Phil have just started to show up there too during the last week or so...... same price

The specs are the dark green metal flakes, they sparkle if the light catches them

Now..... I know this is not a HW, but it IS a custom but I'm ok with it if the mods want to axe this post. This 1970 Mustang Fastback was done for the "Back on that Pony-Mustang ONLY contest" at KBs site. It came last or should I say 4th.... that sounds better Brand - Welly Paint - light green metallic base - dark green metalflake - green to blue candy fade Wheel swap - Maisto Aluminium tape for trim. Thanks for looking

This 1965 Musatng Fastback was done for the "Back on that Pony-Mustang ONLY contest " at KBs site It got a close 2nd ..... out of 4 entries Went for the Pro-Touring look for this one, and apart from the paperclip rollcage, it was a "Mild" build Brand - HW Paint - Black with white to blue flamed stripes Wheel swap - Maisto Aluminium tape for trim. Thanks for looking

Since I don't qualify, I'll be watching from the sidelines. Looking forward to seeing what you all come up with.

Excelent idea.... telescopic antenna, so there are a couple of different sizes too ......... I just threw out an old radio I no longer used

Perfect exhaust tips.... are you using some jewelery for them?

I saw teh 55 panel on ebay a while ago and saved the pictures of it for inspiration...... truely beautiful graphics

Thanks for the nice comments guys Airbrush is great for kustomizing...... here is a cheap way to get started..... I looked on ebay.com.my and see that they sell double action airbrush for RM99... that's a good price, but the compressors are much more expensive. Here is the tip..... for my first airbrush I did not use a compressor, I was young and my dad got an old propane gas bottle and made a fitting for the top with 2 air valves, one was hooked up the the airbrush, and the other to a car wheel valve so that the gas bottle could be pumped up with air at the petrol station or with a bicycle pump. not perfect but a very cheap way to get started.

Bringing home the next project The 1956 Flashsider I entered in the "Battle of the Kustomizers" comp at Chillies Diecast Corner got 2nd to a previous winner, which earned me an entry into the "2009 Battle Royal". This is a competition where where the 21 qualifiers have 3 months to build anything they want, ie. it's a no theme wild comp. The timing of the comp was very bad for me, I was away on holidayz for 4 weeks [Hi to all you guys I met at Amcorp ], and then had to pack up everything as we moved house a couple of weeks after returning from our trip, and this resulted in me not finding any time to start my build until 1 week before the deadline, so I had to do something that was achivable in that timeframe. I have always loved how Hot Rodders take old wrecks and transform them into automotive art, and decided that this would be the theme for my entry: a Hot Rodder having finished his kustom Dairy Delivery bringing home the next old rustbucket to be rescued. There ended up being 10 entries, and I got equal 5th, I think that's pretty good for what is not much more than a couple of Milds in an Open Wild comp The build consists of : A Dairy Delivery wearing True Fire paint, aluminium tape for the lights and grill and wheels from a Maisto Porsche Cayenne A Dairy Delivery with some simble bumpers and raised wheel axles, paint weathered with chipping, washes and dry brushing and wheels from a Matchbox Rubbish King A trailer scratchbuilt from the back of a CD case and paperclips

I have cast my votes........ did anyone here enter their car in the comp??????

Hmmm... got them off the Bay...? Southtexasdiecast lists all those as "Exclusive" so they will not be on the pegs here, correct?

Yep...working on a couple of DDs right now.

Haven't posted any hauls for a while, so here are a couple...... Did the rounds of a few shops on my way home from work last thursday and came home with only took photo of one of the hauls from the past few weeks..... I like Dairy Deliveries

Yes, the black are the reflections of the hole in the white "photo bucket" that the camera lens pokes through

I think Thorrr mentioned that he is using glass stain paint that he bought at a hardware shop to get that spectraflame finish. It is very unlikely that that product is available in Malaysia. Yep... I use paint made for glass, you can use Tamiya transparent hobby paint for the candy effect too.

This Kustom was made for a "Muscle Cars" comp on another site and the '67 Camaro was entered in the "Mild" category. Hotwheels 2009 mainline '67 Camaro (Green) Polished and "spectraflamed" red with my superduper glass stain paint. Metallic truefire over the front Wheelswap from Maisto "Players" Cadillac Engine detailed with paint and foil Black wash over grille Clear red over taillights Thanks for looking.

This Kustom was made to be entered in a "Muscle Cars" comp on another site and the '69 Coronet was entered in the "Mild" category. Hotwheels mainline '69 Coronet Wheelswap - front Johnny Lightning Pontiac Grand Prix, rear Johnny Lightning "Cludo" 1947 Tucker Painting, weathering and detail painting, no clearcoat If you wnat to see more of it, there are a few more pics of it on my site. Thanks for looking

It could perhaps be a milk churn

Don't know if I'm allowed to post this here, if not, i'm sure an admin will yank it The theme for the november competition on ChillisDiecastCorner is "Tunerz"..... and I know many of you are into those, so I thought I'd let you know.

Ok, we are getting on a plane tonight and starting our holiday. Looks like we will be at Amcorp sometime in the afternoon of sunday October 4th, and so that you have a better chance of spotting me, look for this (just too scary to show from the front ) See you there.
