Just posted the Spicy class of the 8th Convention's custom contest. Go see it, this class had some very bad-ass customs, it was the best of the threee classes by far:

I quite like:

This is just insane and a worthy #1 imo.

Thats disturbingly well done!

and I love the Synchro'd up vanagan

 

[Cano]

@Gotbeefboy564 @Zychotic1 yeah those two are amazingly good. Problem with the guys that built them is that they're VERY hit and miss. One day they'll build stuff like that, the other day something that doesn't make any freaking sense. They work well but don't really know crap about cars and it sadly shows in their customs.

for the record, we'll have a mini feature on both of those in our "Our favorites" post, as they were indeed the best stuff in that field, so if you're interested in seeing more of them, stay tuned.

It's the gotdamn Land Rover again!

It's the gotdamn Land Rover again!

Word. I had the chance to have it in my hands and it is a lot more impressive in person. Tried my best to capture it in pics, we'll have the "Our favorite" posts up once we finish with Wild, which should be tomorrow or so.

G'day guys, CANO, the pictures you supply just show us the immense talent some have. Also the Lamley site also has phenomenal work. Just shows that there are all different forms of artists.

 

[Sonygamer455]

Wow, someone went all out in that one. I should do that to one of my duplicate Dream Van's!

Been cleaning out my Facebook Timeline album and wow what past events I've been through:

This was back in Summer 2013. Every WIP here (minus the lab rat) has been completed.

Took a mainline, and did nothing but lower the ride height. Works wonders on the One-77. Also caused a heated discussion with a certain individual elsewhere.

Testing out the airbrush with Testors Enamel.

Painted this Kyosho a year ago, but ruined a lot of the paint from simply handling the body. It has not been redone yet to this date.

We finally have the convention's custom contest final class coverage up in Custom Diecast México. Go check it out:

Your Nissan truck turned out Awesome! man. So much great stuff in that comp as well, truly inspirational.

Your Nissan truck turned out Awesome! man.

Thanks a lot dude. It's still missing the front splitter, which it will gain in the nearby future, also in carbon fiber and also with tensors. When that happens it will be all done.

 

[yabiggoose]

None from that whole lot really tickled my fancy tbh. I can certainly see the effort and craftsmanship, just, eh, not feeling any of them personally.

That 40 Woodie is indeed jammin'. I'd give it 1st place.

 

[Emmcee]

G'day guys man iam on the hunt to find the wide body fair lady, you think I can find it?

 

[Cano]

That 40 Woodie is indeed jammin'. I'd give it 1st place.

It is indeed pretty amazing. We also picked it as one of our favorites, so keep an eye for the mini-feature 👍

 

[DUBer]

Its friday night (US). Whats going on in the custom Hotwheels/Matchbox world? Any project pictures out there?

I have spent most of my free week on this instead of drawing:

Not a single paintjob. 100% retailer buffs.

Meanwhile that box in the basement hasn't made much progress. Every car here was a recent purchase with the exception of the Old 5 that was indeed pulled out of the box, so that's some progress made!

DUDE! Most all of those are killer. Moar on the Old 5 and the blue Vette. Racing Champions NASCAR steelies amirite?



On another note, we just put up our favorite rides off the Mild class in the convention's contest. Go check them out, good stuff in there:

I think it is Racing Champions that I put on the blue Corvette. Good eye.

Too bad they are in Brazil.

Too bad they are in Brazil.

Just one design, and the most generic one at that, mostly unsuitable for several types of cars unless all you do is muscle cars and street rods, or either you don't care about Torq Trhusts in Lambos and Skylines, which I absolutely cannot stand. They can stay in Brazil.

^ more pics because I don't think I need to bombard you guys with multiple pics of the same car with the same mods.

Cut the front panel, painted interior piece, BMF'd the engine (for the red and silver), painted front and rear facades, painted the lights, fuel cap and coloured in the exhaust and side vents.

Also lowered the front because it looks boss. And yes the wheels don't roll.

Here's a ton of customs

Here's a ton of customs

A ton indeed! I've always like the Ford COE truck, always wanted one to do stuff with 👍

 

[Broughamer]

Hello all I'm relatively new to customizing but seeing your work here is really inspirational. Keep up the great work.
