The Last 2013 Matchbox Models of the Year

I just picked these up and hope you all enjoy. The plain realistic cars and SUVs are nice but those fantasy cars SUCK. Sorry Mattel...stop this trend immediately. Generic trucks is one thing, but generic cars? ReDUNKculis.

Not Good...not good at all.

Terrible...really Mattel?

Fugly as Hell!!!!

A DONK Firetruck....stop sniffing the crack:(

Custom Majorettes Part II - The Love Affair Continues

As a young boy, my parents vacationed often in the Netherlands, where they were born. I always looked forward to going for many reasons:

1. To see my grandparents and Aunt and Uncle
2. To feed my face with Dutch food
3. To check out all the cool cars and trucks that I never got to see in the US
4. To pick up all the cool new Majorettes that I missed from the year(s) before

So I have a real good fondness for these older French classics...and I just love finding these older ones from the 1960s, 70s and 80s in really bad shape so that I can take them and restore them to colors that they were never issued in.  I hope that you will enjoy the finished product as much as I loved customizing them.

Three Matchbox Custom #22 PONTIAC GP SPORTS COUPEs

This Lesney Matchbox casting has always been a favorite of mine and I had two floating around that I finally got around to. The darker blue one needed to be super-glued as the casting was cracked under the door and on the roof pillars. The wheels were pretty bad on both and I had some nice Tomica (TOMY) axle sets that fit perfectly so I went with those. I also added the green version that I customized a few years ago. I hope you enjoy and let me know if you have any questions on this or if you want to see something in particular.

Cheers,
Jeff
