Custom MBX

[Spanky]

While I'm not much of a customizer, I do own several custom ambulance creations in my fleet.

I had a good friend customize these MBX K-38 Dodge Vans for me a few years back. I found 4 blank ones in a second hand shop in Scotland while on vacation and had plans for these little creations.

HW co-molds, a few years ago...

Here are a couple of my recent 'resto-mods', Iso Grifo and Cortina GT.

I've posted this on the web before. Some of you might have seen it on Reddit. But here's the King, with a golden crown:

here’s that mbx viper that outshines the hw version by far. Wheel swapped for some real riders.

Thought I posted these. But I guess it was another "Pick of the Day?" That was before this thread. Like Stang said 'Post enough and it'll become it's own topic.'

The Spirit of Ecstasy in a painted mosquito.. 

Had the "BGT" Just a little Milliput and you've got yourself a "CGT"

Put the "Lambo" back to Showroom Stock.

Found this Citroen at a hobby store close to me.. 

As well as this one.

Took a couple of these off the market to make this full opener Big Healey

Made the MB Fleetwood into a Coupe Deville to get the Cunningham Caddy. The Cunningham Le Monstre is made from pie-tin. Probably apple.

The BRM, Lotus and Ferrari "Shark Mouth" was one of my first three MB. I found a BRM beater online and made the Graham Hill car. I still have my original ones. Even back in the early '60's I had to detail stuff. That's a Jimmy Clark helmet on the Lotus pilot. And that's NOT pot in the lower right corner. That's diorama grass. 

I bought the Mercer about the same time I got the Bugatti, which was actually the first MB / MOY I bought. For some reason I recall it being purple ?  I'd lost the seats out of it decades ago. So I decided to replicate one of the actual liveries. This was before we could print decals from the computer. I used some kind of striping tape. This one is due for an upgrade.

Now lets see if this pic heavy post will post.

Some great customs in this thread! Definitely don't have the skill or patience but I am impressed here. The Matchbox JCCS custom contest was always so fun to watch.

Just a simple glitter repaint.

I have actually seen a few 1:1s painted with glitter paint jobs!
