Custom Tomica Honda Civic Type R

I've been asked by some friends some times ago that wether i do custom on Tomica Honda Civic casting.Well, this is my first custom on tomica casting in the mould of Honda Civic Type R. Just some simple mode up as i'm quite satisfy with the original paint.
Added kits are custom built side mirror, wheels swapped from Hotwheels Speed Machine's white co-mo wheels and custom built rear steel exhaust muffler.

comparison to the original civic type R

thanks for looking.

Custom Tomica Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Police Car

Another custom Malaysian Helang Evo X police car, this time is Tomica casting. the built up custom was done together with the earlier posted Hotwheels version but these tomica casting has a little more work to do.
The difference are the opening doors on both sides a surplus advantage compares to Hotwheels and so to spray paint jobs which needs that separate and more times needed on masking.
However i retain the original rooflight as this casting was Tomica Evo X British Police car and it makes my job easier.

enjoy.....
both tomica police cars, pictures taken together.

Complete Custom Hotwheel Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Police Car

As promised, my custom Mitsubishi lancer Evo X Malaysian police car known as Helang Lebuhraya (Highway Eagle) completed. These casting are Hotwheels in 1/64 scales.
Added custom include:
custom make side mirror, roof light, rear steel muffler and
custom make roof antenna

of all the custom kit above, the roof light design is my best achievement so far which are built from scratch and quite satify with the result although not achieving 100% similarity to the actual scales.
