Ron's Toy Collection

I'd like to dedicate this toy page to a very good friend of mine that passed away recently.  He's been a toy collector for many years.  I'll certainly miss the stories of the "great hunts" for special toys.

Hope you enjoy the models (first pictures) that I put together then the die cast that I have created (second) and some of the special toys I have purchased (third) that mean so much to me.

Models

This is from a show I entered at Spring Back.

My Die Cast Creations

The above 4 were just some simple suspension changes to original styles with stacks added to the pick-up truck.

These next 4 and the first one on the line below were painted and decals applied with some small various changes.

 

On these three, old decals were removed and new ones applied to give them new look.

I like doing this body style because it reminds me of early vans.  The first 3 were stripped and painted.  Suspension changes and decals were also added.  The last one was hand painted to resemble my friend Royce Thompson's van. 

Added decals to this one.

Painted this one and changed the suspension.  Put a huge motor inside.

Suspension changes and paint and decals were added. 

Painted pink with pink ghost flame decals. 

These are some plaster craft vans that I painted and added my own personal touch to. 

       

Die Cast I Bought

Most all of these are ones that I purchased and entered in Toy shows.  I've won many trophies with them.   

This is one I had made to represent the club van on our jacket patch.

Other Toys

This one is Ceramic I believe.


This is my RC Van.
