Polestar TRX

Hot Wheels Polestar TRV truck.

This is an imaginary electric all terrain vehicle.

I think they did a pretty good job with the design.

Hot Wheels have done several different paint jobs on it.

I like these to a lot.

I don't think this would be a good EV in real life, I think the battery space is too small.

It has a good science fiction look and I have considered changing up the rear deck to make a moon buggy.

Part of my surf collection.  I am pretty sure Race surfs.
 

Surf Van

Hot Wheels Buzz Bomb van.

I got this for my Beach Party collection.

It's a nice little van.

I like the surfboards on the roof.

I likely will repaint one of them.

But the original paint job is very nice.

Dollar Store Buildings

I like the cheap dollar store buildings and I think they can be easily improved with a little extra paint job.

The yellow building on the left was the starting place for the building on the right.  I painted it up and changed the building color.  Note the windows, once the wooden framing and the windows are painted they are much improved.

This is another building that got a similar painting upgrade.

These buildings are generic enough that I think they can be used for a long period of time and in many parts of the world.

I use the cheap acrylic paints from places like WalMart, Hobby Lobby, and Michaels that are sometimes as inexpensive as fifty cents for a large bottle.

These can be rural, but for older times they could work as town buildings too.

The door sizes can vary a lot on these buildings but I try and get ones that are about an inch tall.  But real buildings have doors that vary a lot, particularly in the days before building codes.
