Hot Wheels in Green and Purple

This is a Hot Wheels concept car.

It looks like it would be a great rat rod, or motorcycle group chase car, or other custom car.

I got a few of them for repainting.

The bulging eyes are similar in style to Rat Fink.

They could be street legal or drag racers.

Nice top.

I probably will keep one of each color and repaint the purple one.

It's great looking car.
 

RIP Gordon Rottman

Noted author Gordon Rottman has passed away.  He wrote over 100 Osprey books on many topics, especially Special Forces in Vietnam, because he was one of them.

 

I have several of his books in my collection.  We used to belong to the same social media group. He was always happy to answer questions and was very kink and knowledgeable in my experience. 

 

May God have mercy on his soul and may light perpetual shine upon him.

A Little Trouble By the Pub

British police cars outside a pub.

The Inspector talks to someone from MI6.

Not sure what they are saying, but he drives a nice car.

More police arrive, some on horseback.

The whole street is blocked off, is it a bomb?

The police are conferring.

Not sure what's happening.

Must be something big.

The Bobbie is unimpressed, but they are quite unflappable.

Just another day at the office, mate.  Figures by Subbeteo, cars by Matchbox, and Hot Wheels, buildings by Walmart, tree by Toobs, and streetlights by Dollar Tree.
 

Three Buildings

This was a great year for Walmart Christmas buildings.

They are cheap and I spent a fortune on them.

This one is very nice.

It's a pub.

But would work well for any kind of food service building.

Or a bookstore, or antique shop.

Anything that is mixed use retail or light commercial or office.

And it fits nicely with this little Funko mini too.

Here is another Walmart building.

A bicycle shop.

Maybe the Wright Brothers worked here?
