Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Because It’s Never Enough – So, We Make Our Own Customs!
Okay, not me personally but a roundup of the customs from some of the great 3D artists out there …
Aroldo Pongetti says, don’t forget the launcher to go with the Apple Team.
Sadly, I don’t think an official one will be coming soon …
And over here in the US, customizer Richard Eckel has been BUSY – seriously!
This was way before the Mater Tall Tales had come out (takes a while to work through the photo submission backlog) but created his own Mater as ambulance!
And of course, a sweet looking chrome Sally as Chief …
And a nice diorama …
But now he’s out done himself … check out his latest customs!
PERFECT!
Every two year old knows that fire fighters always show up with a ladder, no small the vehicle and always with protective gear … NICELY DONE!
COOL, FUNNY and ARTISTIC – NICE! … though Doc looks like he didn’t really volunteer to test out if the new primer was flammable or inflammable … Mater can never get it straight.
Robert gave them names but let’s just say *some-many-all* of T5 readers will not be able to resist themselves in regards to the nicknames regarding hose length so in the name of all that holy in MET:EDIT land, please make and keep your hose name jokes to yourselves :-0
And all Packer fans, you might want to avert your eyes …
And Joey R. sends along this MINI MSOS …
And Kevin Roche is starting work on his/your custom Apple CAR …
Of course, it’s easy getting SHIFTY DRUG to take some of that sodium silicate … after all, how could SHIFTY DRUG turn down a turn down a liquid pill?
What is it?
It’s got your sponsor logo on it – drink it.
Glug, glug, glug, glug … I think I’m seeing double. I was promised I would not be lenticular … you inglorious … why are we all lined up? Why is there all this white paint? Why am I sleepy? Why is there a headless defensive back? I was big once, I was a Kmart CAR …
What is thy bidding, master?
Build a clone army of Mac iCar’s to rule the known sequel universe?
But first, master the art of Tach O Mint cloning – then let’s talk …

Hey guys, can someone put me in touch with Aroldo or who ever is doing
the custom Apple set.
I want to buy one with the launcher too.
I ask because I don’t see an email listed for him.
Thanks,
Rich

Love all the customs – takes real dedication to result in amazing art!
I just purchased the fire dept set on ebay. I can’t wait to see it in person. I don’t splurge on too many customs but had to have this set. Thanks for showing it off. I am bidding on Sally too. Hopefully I will win it.
Wohooo! Can’t wait to get my Apple Car! Thanks for doing all that work – and I look forward to more photos of the process 🙂
Hhhmmmmmm, somebody does custom McFarlanes too! You on the Spawn board???

Very nice work.
First thank you for showing some of my customs, as I enjoy making them. Oh and I am Robert or Bob, but never a Dick … I mean Richard lol. (Although!)
As for cloning Car #101 Tach-O-Mint, I didn’t ever do that, but as you can see in the link below, I did paint (my one) the same color scheme that was in the movie…

Glad Met showed them off…I did what I could to let everyone know how GREAT your stuff is!!!!
Sally can’t be the chief, she’s wearing a black helmet. Firefighters wear black, officers wear red or yellow and chiefs wear white. Take it from me the vast majority follow this color scheme.
Hey, I think the logo on Sally’s door, depicts her to be a Volunteer Fire Fighter…on the other hand, Doc Hudson has the white hat, so yes, he’s Fire Chief Doc, according to my sources. lol
the football player is one im currently working on, used to be donavan mcnabb, now is a john lynch superbowl figure..
This reminds me a little of the “doll” in “Toy Story”. 🙂
Those fire station Pitty’s ROCK!!
They are so detailed. Mini ladders, hats and hoses, where do you even find those?!
yay!! mines in there somewhere OF COURSE i forgot to put my name on it ..
Mine too (I hope)! Looks like most of us had the same idea for making the wheels easier on our enabler.
Tach O Mint Clones for everyone 🙂
look in the top of the pics with the headless john lynch–there is a tach-o-mint i made..actually, its for kevin-nascar..
nice
i want
