Mattel Disney Pixar Diecast CARS: Tackling the Tach-o-Mint Custom
Of course, once I uttered the phrase, “A Tach o Mint” custom is just too hard, who would do that one?
That’s like telling a kid to please watch this bowl of ice cream but don’t eat any …
π
Sure, Tach O Mint is hard unless you know how to paint and you’re an artis, then it’s easy … well “markk17″ easy …
Yea, I could create Tach o Mint too … FROM MEMORY … okay, I’m lying …
This is totally wrong, the candy canes are not even real candy canes … what, you guys didn’t glue candy cane strips to your Tach o Mint?
Okay, how about a self created piece of art that’s also good enough to lick?
It’s safe to say that is the NICEST thing wearing the TRU logo.
… Um EVER.
You know if TRU sold a custom Disney Pixar CARS racer, it would not look nearly as nice …
And “markk17″ hasn’t forgotten our new favorite retailer …
“Markk17″ claims he just an amateur stumbling around for fun – and they’re not for sale – I think it’s just an opening negotiation salvoΒ π
Okay, just kidding Markk17 – just too talented and just too great.
Thanks for sharing … and um, seriously, you might want to think about turning pro … π you know if selling your art is not too crass π
Any one knows how do I contact markk17 to know if he has these cars for sale? (TRU and Target cars). My e-mail is lerrenard@hotmail.com
Hi I’d like to get hold of Tach o Mints. My son has asked father christmas for him for the last 3 years, one day I hope to make his dream come true. Did someone called Markk17 customise this himself? If so I’d pay good money for one if he’s interested?
My email is ncfox@hotmail.co.uk
I think I’ll be buying a few extra cars at the next Kmart Day…
Mark (Markk17)
(MET: Hey, if you’re just going to taunt us π ).
No taunting here, you’ll hear from me after Kmart day. Maybe I’ll document my production line with some pics. Until then…
Sweet customs! Keep up the good work! Now make an Arby’s custom…..
awesome job.
Wow! So if they’re not for sale, you’ll just give them to me, right? Great job!
my vote would be a ‘Pizza Planet’ car or any from the “preview trailer” from this post – http://www.takefiveaday.com/2009/06/28/mattel-disney-pixar-diecast-cars-early-cars-trailer-not-so-canon-except-that/
surprised no one has customized those yet…..
the #66 TRU car is very slick …. and that is from someone who can’t stand TRU…. maybe they can change their promo car to these ….
that was in reply to Jake’s post… for some reson it bumped me down …..
‘reason’ even ….. man its been a long night ….
Most fantastic customs ever. Seriously, if you start selling them you would be doing us all a favor. Your talent should be shared!
A W E S O M E !!!! i’m moved to tears…..
wiping drool again….. these bad boys are AWESOME!!!!!!!
Ok, so we have 36 Piston Cup Racers, so we need 7 others to round out a full field. I vote for the following:
#37 – Target Racer
#38 – Toys R Us Racer
#39 – WalMart Racer
#40 – KB Toys Racer (RIP)
#41 – Take 5 A Day Racer
#42 – Cars Cares Racer
#43 – PSTS Racer π
Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Childrens Toy CLoset Racer?
Born In A Barn Racer?
Mattel Racer?
They only race in the European Circuit! π
Don’t forget ARBYS!!!!!
Now why is it that Alroldo (spelling??) and this genius will not sell their masterpieces? KILLING me! That Target one is a must have – LOVE it! But I am going to need the entire Target team, deal?
wow these are great!! π i really like the tru and target cars !! i hope you decide to start SELLING!! π amateur…i think someones fibbing π hahah these really are fantastic!
But wasn’t Tach-O-Mint in the movie ORANGE? I know the Piston Cup Race set has a Brown one like this persons Custom. So will there eventually be two versions out? An Official Movie version and a looks right in dark places versions.
Wow! Those are awesome! Sign me up!!!
Fantastic!! Love it..
Absolutely awesome! You are incredibly talented. Thank you for sharing the photos of your work. I too would love to add these to my collection.
WOW.. Nice work!!!
wow i want one of each of these.
Wow .. .that is top notch work . . . so where is the price guide?? π
You’re wasting your time painting 1:55 Disney/Pixar Cars. You need to start customizing street legal cars in 1:1 scale.
me too would love to buy one of these for one of my son’s christmas gifts if willing to make email me with price Jasnkar4ever@aol.com
How much? Me want!
Nice! π
very nice markk17, how do I contact you to ask about doing a commission custom racer car for me?
