    this is my newest creation, it started as a purple chevy wagon from matchbox, then i painted a primer on it, and after a long day of work it turned out to be an amazing rusty barnfind with handmade jerry cans on top of a ply wood roof rack, and to finish it off a little bit of damage on the front, lots of dirt from being abandoned, a mismatched door and different color wheels, i call it (old rusty)

    You should start making those in bulk and selling them. I'll bet you'd make a tidy profit! I know I'd buy some.

    We were going through a box of Yellow Focus stuff (my dad’s 2003 Focus) and we found some things from it, such as the old stereo, speakers, and fog lights, as well as the original badging. Also my First birthday card :p. Anyway though we found this:

    Yes, this is indeed a model of a 2003 Focus, 1:25 scale

    This thread has been awfully quiet.

    1:18 Scale Ford Escort MkIII RS Turbo Series 1 from SunStar.
    It's a fair representation of the uniquely black RS Turbo which was owned by Princess Diana (of which there were supposedly actually three).

    And also, not car related but I wanna post them, I also recently got some acrylic Nikke stands of Rapi and Anis (red and yellow respectively).

    They are unfortunately a little too big for 1:18 scale.

    It have been a long time since I post at this thread

    Some nice cars from XCARTOYS,a new-born Chinese 1:64 model car company.They mainly make these cars:
    -Classics in Chinese car guys' memory(Like VW Santana,Suzuki Wagon R Plus,Daihatsu Charade...etc)
    -Some of the great Chinese cars today(Lynk& Co 03,WEY Tank 300...etc)(Chinese cars are much better than before these days)
    _20231214200954.jpg _20231214200959.jpg
    2019 Lynk&Co 03+
    _20231214201004.jpg
    2003 Mazda 6 Sports Wagon(In China mainland,the wagon model is very rare because it only produced in 2000 copies by FAW-Mazda.But the sedan version gains massive popularity here that you could still see many 1st gen Mazda 6 Sedan on the road here)
    _20231214201009.jpg
    1998 Buick GL8(U-Body Gen2 minivan's Chinese version.vancake lol)
    _20231214201013.jpg
    1998 Suzuki Wagon R Plus
    _20231214201019.jpg

    And these LanEvos from another Chinese scale model company:JKM
    Their cars are cheap but they worth every penny.Each of them only costs me about ¥40.

    the other day i signed up for a toyota contest where they were giving away free 500 Tacoma dog toys and i just received this in the mail, this is one of the 500, its just basically a regular dog toy but in the shape of the toyota tacoma it even says TRD for (tough and rough dogs), im not a huge toyota fan but this is really cool, and it deserves a spot on my shelf, by the way its made out of pure rubber and is pretty heavy,

    The last Subaru... "Wakaliwood ghetto rally!" I know the Wakaliwood car is a Blobeye, but still. It just needs some red mudflaps.
