My first car, running in the Rookie Rally 2021. It's a well-battered '55 Chevy "project car," running on wheels from the Chevrolator casting.  About 3/4 of the patina was already on the car when I got it - I just touched it up a little, then did some more to it such as putting cracks in the windows, repainting a couple of panels, scratching it up even more, drilling out a headlight, and adding a driver. Amusing fact: when I drilled the car, I actually had to pour dirt out of it and pull weeds from around the axles! The car weighs in at just under 50g (like 49.8, I think).

Short video of some old Torino and Monte Carlo Stockers that I brought back to life from the 80s.

Getting a few cars ready for our upcoming GCR Spring Classic. If I have extra maybe I'll finally enter someone else's tournament! I really want to send a couple over to the King of the 621 soon. Here we've got a green modified Skyline, Modified '97 Corvette, modified '69 Charger, modified Mustang, and a mid-modifying Nova gasser! The Caddie is next followed by that slick black Audi in the background. I'm particularly fond of my Skyline with the bad paintjob. What are y'all up to today?

My first ever two completed customs, the start of my steampunk-themed racing team, a HW Brit Speed (no longer looking like a Weinermobile in the Fire Brigade paint) ready for any kind of race with the addition of an aviation Lewis Gun (to match the aircraft engine under the hood) and some headlights, and a Matchbox '33 Plymouth support crew car with a cargo roof rack carrying supplies.


  • wow save that one with the gun for my death race at the end of the year! — IndianaDiecastRacing
  • Nice work on both of them. The Lewis gun addition to the Brit racer is quite clever, and actually more or less period correct. Love the supply rack on the sedan. Are you carrying BEER up there???? — SpyDude
  • Let's see...the manifest just says "a variety of refreshments for both car and driver." I should really read these things before I dispatch the team... — Rainsford
  • @IndianaDiecast I might have one of these in an RAF paint job by the end of the year! Maybe with a tailgunner added... — Rainsford

Newly built diorama and a couple of American Muscle cars.


I built this one for D64's Drag'n'Fly Builder's Challenge.   Watched the ridiculous 2005 movie of Dukes of Hazzard, and tried to replicate the condition after the final race, including the blown-out rear window.

The is the second of two cars going to the Sock Hop Slam by Indiana Diecast Racing.  I started with a 1956 Ford F-150.  Modifications include: chopped top, adding a driver and passenger, adding a load in the back of the truck, and repainting the truck in "California Suede" (aka flat black primer). Weights were added inside the truck to bring it up to half a gram over 50g.  The wheels and axles have also been sanded, polished, and heavily graphite'd.

A bit different to how others have it, but this is my permanently updated collection Capper Deluxe's Collection


  • Now that's organization! — Rainsford
  • @rainsford Generally i sort by Car Manufacturer, then Car, then Age, then Unmodified weight the branding is not so important as to whether it's a HW MBX or whatever — CapperDeluxe

Fresh off the assembly line at BlueLine Racing is the F150 Super Stretch named "Long Range" this 125g monster is 3 3/4" long and fast. New video of it coming out soon.

Couple of Group N Rally cars I've just finished for the Chaos Canyon Rally 2021. The Mustang would be the nicest paint/decal work I think I've ever done. So very happy how it turned out.


Heya, everyone! Jrad here. I'm back with some more stuff that I've been working on. decided to take a quick break from modding during february due to a recent loss in the family so I could have some personal time to recover. However, during my break, I did some tweaks to the two cars I showed off back in January. I'm once again showing off the sledge-hummer and beast, but with some changes this time around. The S-H just got some general detailing done to make it look more like the actual H2, while I was able to get a new metal base for the beast. bumping it's weight up to 111 grams. as of right now, I'm not exactly sure when I'm gonna send them out to race. currently looking for an event that'll suit them best as I'm still a but of a newbie to diecast racing. Anyways, I can't wait to share some new builds I have planned.March 24th, Build update. Decided to completely scrap the old wheels on both the sledge-hummer and beast. both cars have had their old wheels swapped out for some fresh 10 spoke rims from some spare range rover velars I bought. so far beast's wheels have been glued in place and lubed with graphite. this exponentially improved it's wheelspin, spinning for much longer than it did before with polished axles.  

I'll give everyone a full update of both cars in the showroom thread when they're fully finished. I'd like to give a quick thanks to BlueLineRacing for the constructive comment as it helped me delve into improving the wheelspin of the cars.


  • How do they roll? — BlueLineRacing
  • The wheelspin's better than average due to polishing the axles, However I'm looking to improve it with some graphite. — Jradcliffe9013

I just finished a car using waterslide decals for the first time.  It can be very tricky with small images and the different indentations in the casting.  There is always something new and fun to learn with this hobby!


  • Looks great man. Looking forward to getting it for the rally — Chaos_Canyon
