Wrecked Cars

As a little bonus with the Hot Wheels Monster Trucks you get a little crushed car in the package.
There are several different ones and they are all one piece plastic.
Very simple, and ironically, durable.
They come with a pin on the back and roof.
And a receptacle for the pin on the hood and the front.
The pins allow you to pose the cars in many different ways.
I take my sprue cutter and remove the pins.
Then I insert the pins into the receptacles and mostly fills the holes.  I use a bit of Plastruct glue to hold the pin in.  I then paint the cars over all rust color.  I am sure if you took a little time with them you could make decent wrecked cars for dioramas of traffic accidents, battle scenes or even auto junk yards.
