2004 Chrysler ME 412 from Motormax,

 I was able to retain this 2004 Chyrsler ME Four-Twelve concept car from my 1/18 collection days over 10 years ago. I found it wrapped in an old shirt in one of my closet drawers 


Original out of the box,  Looked good but the bling bling on the tyre rims just had to go

Painted the tyre rim center black

Crafted a more detailed lone wiper

Padded the interiors a bit

Detailed a rather bland engine 

Posed it against my mechanic shop diorama

2011 BMW 650i Coupe

 Here is the  1/43 scle  iodelof the 2011 BMW 650i Coupe in light gold color from Kyosho.  This ios a relatively large personal luxury car in real life, but the Kyosho model in the same scale of the  Rolls Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe dwarfs it.

Here's a 1/43 scale Kyosho model of the BMW 7 series sedan released 2011. One of the few with openning engine and luggge cowling 



1963 Aston Martin DB5

Here is a 1/43 model of the Aston Martin DB5 made famous in the James Bond 007 film Goldfinger.  Similar models of the same stock were used in subsequent 007 movies  There have been many diecast brands that used this model, the one I have here is from Univeral Hobbies and comes with a figure of Jame Bond driving the car.
