I've been taking the power tools to some Hot Wheels again, this time with a quartet of fast looking cars that I can use.
Electric Silhouette
This first one was in a bag of spare cars that Mike B donated to me and I think is also currently available in the Hot Wheels advent calendar for 2021, although this much predates that paint job.
I went for a simple black paint job with some orange decoration, I think this chap could fill into both Maxxine and Miyazaki if not a few others.
Astana Hotto
This one was picked up from B&M on a recent trip there and it screams Performance Car.The only armament I added was a single machine-gun from IoC-1 that mounted under the lighting array, I did a simple Purple paint job allowing this to fit into any of the performance teams.
But, I'm thinking that if I combine this with Rigor Motor below and add some bikes it will make a very passable Beverly sponsored team.
Rigor Motor
Another find on the racks at B&M was this dragster mounted coffin thingy!
It had some super detail work already on the coffin, so, after painting it black and highlighting I picked out the skull again in a very thinned white highlight. Also, in the highlighting of the cockpit hood I did a subtle demon face that really does not show up so well in these picks, but I know it's there.
With the Astana Hotto above I think I've got he foundations of a Beverly sponsored team.
Gasser
Last but not least, probably my favourite build so far. The original Hot Wheels model is a perfect jump off point.
The two crew are from the Wasteland Warriors set from North Star, I quite like the guy hanging out of the window with his assault rifle.
I took the IoC-1 engine and chained a turbo charger onto the top of it then added a machine-gin from that set too. Additional armour was made from plasticard, but I think that maybe my rivets are much too large. A bumper and additional armour were made from I-beams to complete the build.
Very nice. You must have quite a collection of cars now
