  • The Iron Horse and His Toothy Friend

    The Iron Horse decals are not my designs, I got these off the internet as a test for the White Ink printer I use to make water slide decals. The white ink printer worked, so this test has stuck around as a moment when the way I created custom decals changed forever. For those that…

  • Prototypes Are Finally Here!

    Come with cards, digital chip that links to this site, a cool little diorama base and a little kickstand to display the unit correctly. My kickstands got left behind when I took these pics, so ignore that little piece of green paper. Also on the back is a short description of the design inspiration for…

  • Oriental Dragon Gasser

    I Have no memory of taking these pics! The diorama and car are separated by about five years, so I would have needed to dig the diorama out of storage to take these pics…weird. The design on the Gasser is about half Ai generated. I use Ai to make initial designs, then draw over the…

  • Bat Wings! Really They Are There

    After binge listening to Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath, I came up with a brilliant design, that is still stuck in my head as it didn’t quite make it to realization in this piece. The goal was a horned skull on the top, and bat wings that transitioned from the skull down to the side…

  • One Very Large Engine

    I don’t think you’d make it very far down the drag strip with that engine blocking your view. This one still remains in my collection in spite of its goofiness. The paint came out really well and it shows off a pretty complicated masking process.

  • Pittsburgh Penguins On Ice

    Another Christmas present piece for a co-worker. This one was fun, the blue base is resin made to look like ice, I think it came out looking great! . Through the whole price are names of great Penguin players. Took three attempts to get the names to fit in the roof, my templates weren’t very…

  • Spider-Man Spider-Man Does Whatever a Spider Can…

    If you know the song sing along. Aldo, the Ramones version of the song was better than the original. Yeah, I’ll put that out there. My take on a Spider-Man gasser. Another early attempt to get the graphics to wrap seamlessly around the car.

  • Chevy Gasser: Hulk Smash

    My take on the hulk. At the time I made this, I didn’t have access to copper wheels big enough to fit the rear, I have a lot more choices now, will probably go back and give this one gold rear rims, would look better than the silver.

  • More Space Monkey.

    More Space Monkey is good for everyone! This design came from another made up character, in my mind they all would populate the same universe in the multiverse. BTW, it is supposed to be a Sasquatch, not a gorilla. Since we don’t know what sasquaches look like, I’m guessing they look like gorillas!

  • Custom HotWheels For Mom

    Based on blanket designs I had as a kid.
