The Pixar Car range features 14 models based on the characters from the movie like Lightning McQueen, Sally, Mater, the Tow Truck and Doc Hudson amongst others and will be available at a price of […]

Have you all completed your Mater customs from tutorial #1? You must be ready for tutorial #2 … All you need is some resin material, plastic pipe and soldered brass rod. (I say that like I know what I’m talking about and not just copied from his email) 😆 Then make magic. In no time […]

I can understand front loading McQueen’s in the first few boxes of 2009 (aka: holiday 2008)  to make sure he was on the store shelves for the holiday season … but at the rate they are going, there is going to be imbalance and we can only hope it does NOT look like this on […]

Lightning McQueen says only you can prevent forest fires … no, wait, that’s the bear … Lightning McQueen says, “I pity the fool who doesn’t remember today is the last days of 2-day & overnight shipping to get it in your chimney!” So, last reminder – last days to order online – just be sure […]

Glenn H. spent some long hard hours at sea defending our shores so … welcome back to land … though his family welcome was a lot nicer 🙂 If it was just the sign, that would be great enough – nicely done art – love the snow on letters typeface – classy, cute and cool […]

It looks simple enough … Mater with a blue hood and a tow portion that can get all jiggy. Just separate the Mater from frame. Re-attach solder with tiny screws. Voila! Jiggy Mater. You can also make a red hood and perfect logo … okay, I think I lost part of the instructions but I’m […]

Of course, you don’t have to buy them but sorry, the evidence is pretty overwhelming 🙂 How else do the haulers get to the race track? We have direct evidence that Mack drives McQueen in a hauler to the race track. We also see Gray, the Dinoco cab attached to his trailer portion. I think […]
