Today's #DeskCar is the Hot Wheels Volvo P1800 Gasser from the 2024 Reverse Rake mini-collection. It will be part of my 2nd Slime team, Gas-Painz. I think I'm going to name this one "Toots"

The last thing I did was drew up an order of battle for these forces. I researched model kits for these armies. I'd have to find dwarven cannons for Snow White and barbarians for the Snuggly Duckling mercs. But, never figured out how to represent Atlantican shore guard.
I might get back to it.

Today's #DeskCar is the Hot Wheels RD-06 from the 2025 HW Designed By series. This car that introduced me to AcceleRacers and the realization that I had other racing drones in my collection. This one is going to be Idris for #Gaslands. I've got another pair that will be #MonsterHigh cars.

WIP added a foldout mine dropper in the trunk of the Matchbox Mercury Cougar Villager wagon. It doesn't quite close all the way for a variety of reasons. But, it's not like I'm looking out for the resale value of the car.

WIP Matchbox Pontiac Firebird for #Gaslands. A Warden prison car for Cell Block M. This one armed with a heavy machine gun and napalm dropper. Used a bit of spare barbed wire on the windows.
It has a sister car, Morte Vermelha, in Cell Block H

Today's #DeskCar is the Hot Wheels #AcceleRacers RD-09 from the 2013 Road Rockets 5-Pack Release. The current #SilverSeries release is a much improved casting with greater detail. While I don't have the AcceleRacers nostalgia, I do like the heft and feel of the #diecast engine on the front and back.

WIP assembled and glued the mine thrower on my #Gaslands #Warden prison car. Filed the Lego studs down for scale (thanks @captainhat.bsky.social). Added mesh to the rear windows and might add a very large oil tank top the rear. Also, "welded" the doors shut.

I actually struggled with arming this thing, tried multiple options and none of them felt quite right. Closest I got before the sludge thrower is a gigantic anti-aircraft gun.

Today's #DeskCar is the RD-10, a Racing Drone from the AcceleRacers series. I only learned about them from the recent Silver Series release. I had a couple from random finds and gifts to me. This one is part of an #Gaslands Idris team "Blacklight". The plan is black bodies with fluorescent stripes.

Forgive the double-dip, but I've been so #Gaslands minded that I forgot about my Eldar Fire Dragons. Just pretend that I shared them in the same post as previous...

Haven't had much to participate in these lately, but I've got something this time!
It's not much, but it's flame deco on the Hotshot miniature from Car Wars. It's part of a project I'm painting for a friend. These little things are fun to paint, more like a miniature model than a #diecast car.

WIP mock-up of an improvised sludge thrower of mines. It'll look better without the blutac.
Modeled after a clay pigeon thrower. The Lego studs are chonky, but it reads better to me. I might try something smaller.

Today's #DeskCar is the Buzzerk from the 2013 Hot Wheels Attack Pack 5-Pack release. The racer features a spinning (!) buzzsaw and a splatter guard.
It was this vehicle that inspired the Death Race 2050 team and I sought out the Barbaric and Motoblade because they resembled this killer car.

Today's #DeskCar is the Barbaric, the one I have is from the 2009 New Models. This is another car for the Verney team, Death Race 2050. Like the Motoblade, it's got a large "blade" running down the middle. These cars are designed to be anti-pedestrian.

Today's #DeskCar is the #HotWheels Motoblade from the 2006 First Editions release. It's a #diecast race car with a giant razor blade down the middle. There's a driver figure on the right hand side. I picked this up for my Verney team themed after Death Race 2050. It fits that vibe of kill cars.

Here are all the moody blues I have in my #diecast collection. The only one I'm missing is Max Steel. Originally, I didn't want it because it's open top. But, I've been getting better at adding figures to cars. It's the same base model I used the Snoopy Driving Ace.

Can't say as I do, though I have some passing familiarity. For example, the Hot Wheels Mad Manga is an example of Boso(zoku), but I don't know what that actually entails

Today's #DeskCar is the #HotWheels 2021 Rod Squad release of the Muscle and Blown. The paint scheme is known as "Moody Blues"
I've customized three of these for #Gaslands and might do the others. Alternatively, I might get three new copies of the Gaslands ones to have a complete set unnmodified.

Here are the #Gaslands Roadshow Live All-Stars. Not placing this month means I can finally take this pic.
Next #diecast build-off contest is a holiday themed '83 Chevy Silverado. I'm thinking Maxxine monster truck, Grinch-themed, with Christmas tree rockets.
Oh, Tannen-bomb!
