Random 1:64 Diecast Trucks

Just some random trucks I like...

M2 Machines 1:64: 1972 Ford F-250 Custom 4x4

The fifth generation of the Ford F-Series is a line of pickup trucks and commercial trucks that were produced by Ford from the 1967 to 1972 model years. Built on the same platform as the fourth generation F-Series, the fifth generation had sharper styling lines, a larger cab, and expanded engine options.

Three trim levels were available during the production of the fifth generation F-Series, though the names were changed in 1970. The "Base" trim became the "Custom" and the "Custom Cab" became the "Sport Custom" joining "Ranger" as optional levels of equipment and trim. Late in production the Ranger trim level was upgraded with the additional "Ranger XLT" option.

M2 Machines 1:64: 1956 Mercury M-100 Truck Custom

The Mercury M-Series is a series of pickup trucks that was marketed by the Mercury division of Ford Motor Company. Produced from 1947 to 1968, the Mercury M series was sold primarily in Canada, as a re-badged version of the Ford F-Series.

In 1946, Ford of Canada split its Ford and Lincoln/Mercury divisions into separate sales networks. Alongside the creation of the Monarch and Meteor sub-brands, Ford of Canada introduced trucks to the Mercury division. At the time, few rural communities offered both the Ford and Lincoln-Mercury dealership networks, minimizing model overlap and allowing for greater coverage for potential truck buyers. To differentiate Ford and Mercury trucks, Mercury added a brand-specific grille and slightly different exterior and interior trim.

Random 1:64 Diecast Trucks

Just some fun shots of trucks on November 1, 2025.

Star Wars Action Figures

This is my entire Star Wars action figure collection; Seven figures (the woman is not an action figure). I am not really a collector and have no plans for more.

Random 1:64 Diorama Shot

Taken just for fun...

M2 Machines 1:64: 1959 Cadillac Series 62

I broke the tail-light off. 😒 

The Cadillac Series 40-62 is a series of cars which was produced by Cadillac from 1940 through 1964. Originally designed to complement the entry level Series 61, it became the Cadillac Series 6200 in 1959, and remained that until it was renamed to Cadillac Calais for the 1965 model year. The Series 62 was also marketed as the Sixty-Two and the Series Sixty-Two. The Series 62 was used to introduce the Cadillac Coupe de Ville and the Cadillac Eldorado which started out as special appearance packages that were later placed into production.

Random 1:64 Diecast Shots...just for fun!

Just some random shots of some 1:64 scale cars I like. The cutting mat is new for use in making my first scratch-built diorama (winter project). The outdoor shots were simply taken, because it was a sunny day, which was nice during this late-October cloudy season. 

Hot Wheels Branded Chocolate Egg

Purchased at my local convenience store!

Hot Wheels (Rod Squad) 1:64: Custom Cadillac Fleetwood

Since getting into collecting diecast cars in February 2025, I have focused on premium cars that look realistic. However, Hot Wheels was a favoured brand growing up and I have decided their "Hot Wheels" style is actually kind of fun. Many of their "custom" cars are not even real cars...just imagination! Can't go wrong with $2.00 toys!

 

Hot Wheels (HW Art Cars) 1:64: Kei Swap

A kei truck, kei-class truck, or Japanese mini truck, known in Japan as a keitora ('light truck'), is a style of pickup truck built to satisfy the Japanese keijidōsha ('light vehicle') statutory class of light vehicles. Limited to certain size restrictions - currently no more than 3.4 m (11.2 ft) long and 1.48 m (4.9 ft) wide - they are produced by a wide range of Japanese automakers and are available in rear-wheel or four-wheel drive.

Kei trucks were first introduced in Japan in 1959 and have since been widely used throughout Asia. Since at least the 2020s, they have become increasingly popular in North America, earning a cult following for the affordability and reliability.

1:64 Diorama Build

Since I have this wood box, I decided to try to build my first scratch-built diorama in it.

The model building was sourced from a hobby store that sold used HO Train scale buildings and this one looked the closest to 1:64. Cheap and I get to expand my painting experience!! It is unlikely this will be used with this diorama. It WILL likely be a temporary building until I build some.

 The sheet of cork will be used for roads (painted gray). 

 I have the styrene for building. I plan on three buildings:

- Jay's Garage: an art deco style service centre

- Jay's Dive-In Restaurant: an art deco style drive-in diner

- Jay's Marina: will be on the water and the water will be on the right side.

I will probably wait until at least November to start; a cold months project.
