My first fully scratch built custom 1/18 Hot Wheels (Slingshot), felt like a proof of concept more than anything else – I needed to see that I could actually take these projects to completion first before I really started dreaming bigger (ha, ha…) I was between a couple different Acceleracers for the second car – I really almost went with…

The Acceleracers custom community has really taken off in the last couple of years – with the leaps 3D printing has made in the last decade, we’re getting builders producing life-size accelechargers, Wheels of Power, realm dioramas, even producing their own movie-accurate CM6 wheels for 1/64 Acceleracers customs.
