Here’s a weird one – yes, this is a $10 Hot Wheels toy you can most likely find at any local Wal-Mart or Target. Size-wise it just so happens to be roughly 1/24 scale (or as close as we can get to that for a completely fantasy-based Hot Wheels original design) and is a Hot Wheels design that was an…

I mentioned during my SW20 build that I was planning on building the entire MR2 line – but I didn’t think I’d be doing it this quickly.

My next few kits will likely be rebuilds – as much as I want to get to new cars, I find myself more and more dissatisfied with my past builds as I think of the potential of doing…
