Collectables>>a Battered, Boso Skyline

This next reader-submitted die cast car is something I think you guys will get a real kick out of.

Daniel from Germany wasn't quite satisfied with the looks of his 1/18 scale Kyosho Kenmeri Skyline GT-R, so he got to work.

First up were the oil cooler and front spoiler you see above.

Then he threw on some wide, old school wheels. Very Work Equip-esque.

Next, he fabbed up a proper exhaust system using a couple stainless steel tubes.

A bit of weathering gave it that raw, unrestored look – like something you'd find sitting in a field somewhere in Japan.

It's pretty amazing what you can do with a die cast model, a little creativity, and an eye for the details.

Awesome work, Daniel!

Looks great - the only missing detail is folding the number plate up on the back to make it harder to see :)

Damn, I thought that's a real GT-R! Truly just tiny details can make a lot of difference.

That's the coolest "toy" car I've ever seen! First off, where do you find old school die-cast (or plastic) J-tin? Also, do they sell scale old school rims?
