This year I began collecting 1/64 Scale Diecast Cars. The cars I buy are mostly Hotwheels, Matchbox, and M2. They are the least expensive in the hobby and, in my humble opinion, require improvement.

In the process I’m learning to use all the tools & materials required, such as the wide array of available paints, solvents and primers. I’m also discovering how to disassemble without damage, drill and tap to allow the use of screws for reassembly, change interior color, upgrade wheel sets,  and the varied uses of an inexpensive airbrush. There is a lot to learn, and it keeps be out of the bars.

Here are the results of my recent projects.
