Thank you!

I have a confession to make, things around here had become unsettling around Christmas time and afterwards. I had totally forgotten I was supposed to be making a window insert for you. Yesterday, I opened an order from Flowers and seeing the window inserts I ordered made me think of it again. I'll have that ready to send out in the next couple of days. Please PM or email me your snail mail address again.

I love the Matchbox Originals castings. With the right wheels and paint, they really look fantastic.

Another "Matchbox Original" that's been brought back to the 1950's. I did a treatment to those awful bright silver metal wheels and put the ole Lesney look on them. Model is painted a red-orange (like the Lesney model) but my camera and/or lighting makes it look red.

This cement mixer has been sitting on my work bench for months. It's dump wheel broken off and long gone. The replacement part is from Flowers and the casting needed work before it was acceptable for use. Turned out quite nice and it's the early casting with the tiny handle on the motor housing.

I like the cement mixer. It's such an unusual subject.

I finished up a red hub K6 today and decided it looked good enough to have it's own little "show place." Click on thumbnails to enlarge.

I did this one in Kingsize colors and with hubs and tires. I really like it. They should have used the wheels and hubs on this one from the start.

And ... it comes with it's own box.
