"Correct" Fresh Cherries car

I got a little bored and decided to "correct" one of my yellow Fresh Cherries cars.

Just to make it look a little more "life-like"...

 

now every time you do something to the big car you're going to have to do it to the model also. unless you want to keep it for a before and after shot. i like it.

 

I like your idea about the "before and after shots"

I guess I better go out and buy a bunch more yellow ones

 

Amazing (LOL!!!!)...

 

Cool, I like it too! It's the "mini-me" of your car

 

I just recently found these Cherries at my walmart, then went to the surrounding walmarts to find 2nd and 3rd yellow ones (I would like to keep one in the original package, unharmed...er...unaltered). I really like Don's idea of modifying them to match my car at various stages of "growth". Then I can date the packages and have an evolution line on the wall

I will admit, though. I gave up on Hot Wheels years ago. Just recently, when I acquired the Maverick, did I start to look for, and collect various Maverick die-casts. I am not an "enthusiast"...I just have a large blank spot on my wall that I need to fill in, and filling it in with models, especially "custom" models, seems like a fine idea.

The wife walked in and saw them, and despite being a self-reknown interior (and exterior) decorator, she LOVED what I had done.

Feels good to please the wife every now and then (no perverted puns intended )

 

Ha! Looks great.

 

Don't give Frank any ideas!!! Say, where has Frank been lately?

 

that is pretty cool piece,

 

i have been working on a simmiler project started about a month ago... havent had time to get back to it..... just like my real mav lol still got to add the primer spots and paint the trim

 

looks good scott

 

here I am, trying to find any MAV at walmart, and you guys are are already painting the hell out of them, I think I need to move to the south

 

Hey shaunh82 (or anyone else) who can't find these locally, I see them all the time at the Wally Worlds around here.....I have no problem picking some up for anyone, just pay the actual price + first class shipping which is usually less than $2.00.
Not sure what the scalpers are selling them for on eBay, I never checked :16suspect

 

They sell them for around $2 but they charge $8 for cheap shipping.
