As a bored sad volkswagen owner lol, when the weather is poor and I hate the TV, needed something to do so I've started to make custom models of my vans and one for my mate , installing lights next definitely not perfect but dodgy eyes and all that.‍‍‍

Are these still sealed in the boxes or actually played with ?

It’s already silver! Just need to mask and airbrush the rear quarter and tailgate windows back to silver. Unless they’re stickers.

These Chinese ones are 1:36 scale. About 150mm long. Might give more scope for 3D printing my mods eg splitter, side bars, solar panels etc.

Sounds good,keep us updated on your sons van.

He’s now 16 and into cars so appreciates the collecting aspect of ‘special’ makes/models. Some of them are worth £15-20 each boxed.

He has a load more opened ones from when he was younger - don’t worry I’ve never surpressed his desire to play!
