    Thanks I’ve thought about it for a while, it would cost a fortune to ship them though unfortunately, so maybe I’ll sell small scenes for car displaying

    I'm back again. It's been more than four months since I posted anything new here, and I've bought quite a few car models during this time. I'll share them with you slowly later on.:cool:

    Love the cream one!
    I have added some details to mine with chrome and paint to improve its appearance, it's really not very detailed out of the box. New MBX and HW are so much more bland than they used to be!
    20260317_155311.jpg 20260317_155323.jpg

    And I realized that including the Eagle I now have three cars from BTTF in my collection:
    Majorette Collection Toyota Hilux SR5 (with wheels and indicators painted + aux lights decals)
    Hot Wheels DeLorean time machine in flying mode

    Thanks, I appreciate it!
    On the eagle I used chrome/paint pens for the grille, foglights, indicators, and bumpers and a fine paintbrush for the black parts and taillights. The body trim was done with the paintbrush and a chrome pen.
    On the Hilux I used that paintbrush for the silver base to the indicators and then an orange sharpie, and on the wheels I used the paintbrush for the black part, the chrome pen for the rings and a toothpick for the center caps.

    Nice collection, I've probably got a collection that size. Though, most of mine are at least 7 years old and aren't in the packaging anymore.
