You could get a laser scanner and make a 3D model of yours and then print that out. devil

You have a real Devin!?! I’m not sure even my brother in law Devin has ever actually seen one. Is it yours or a customer’s or what? I’m in Des Moines right now thinking of how I can accidentally end up in Cleveland on the way home to Lansing, MI. 

 

Javelin I got the ones you sent. My little Elise was so excited when she saw that Elise in there. Thanks so much!

 

Okay so I’m almost all set:

Devin: so far the closest I have is a 1:64 UPS truck since that’s what he drives for a living.

The other day at Meijer I saw a Cheetah in the car aisle and for an instant I was like “NO WAY! A DEVIN!?” No way, indeed. 

Audi: 1984 Quattro

Dana: a Dana sponsored NASTRUCK is heading my way thanks to Slowbird

Ford: Javelin sent me a Torino

Cooper: Red Mini Cooper from Meijer

Tucker: I got a beautiful purple one with Cragars from eBay. Rubber tires so it can sit on a shelf for a while 

Shelby: plenty of Shelby Mustangs in the lots I’ve received, giving one to my daughter Shelby to custom paint for him. I’d still like to get a Cobra too, I picked these up from the store and would trade any or all of them for a Cobra:

86 Monte Carlo, Volvo 850 Estate, 98 Prelude in silver, 94 300ZX in police livery

Eleanor: ahhh the motherlode! Indy Nub Guy sent me two classic GT500s and the girls have silver and black nail polish, then Javelin sent me a ‘73ish Mustang to represent the original Eleanor, and I’ll pick up some yellow for that one.

Elise: Javelin got that for me

Mallory: I found a Mallory Mustang at the store but it’s kind of caricature-ish and at $7 I didn’t want to settle. I’m returning it and got a Mallory Corvette from eBay. There was this awesome Mallory car hauler with a Mallory Firebird that I gave up on when the price hit $26 

Porsche the dog: Javelin and Indy both hooked it up. I actually don’t have one either so I’ll let the girls choose which one he gets and we will keep the other

 

Good timing on all this too because my sister in law is having preeclampsia and possibly HELLP so the baby is going to be here earlier than anticipated!

I do have a real devin.  It's not much to look at right now, but hope to have it restored in a few years.

I got the Dana truck boxed up and was going to go to the post office today but I slept in. It'll go out Monday! If I say it here, I can guilt myself into doing it! blush

woohoo! I got my Dana Dodge NASTRUCK!

Thanks, Slowbird

 

Oh and they have announced that they're naming the boy Jensen. Oof! Here we go with the obscure hotwheels again! :P

Hey so I can stop looking — has anyone EVER heard of a Devin die cast car? I saw an HO scale one once in the past 8 years but that’s it

In reply to P3PPY :

Never seen one, and my searching only turned up two things: a 1/32 scale slot car kit in resin, and a 1/64 scale dirt late model driven by someone named Devin. Not sure either one fits your needs.

!!! That must have been what I saw years ago! NICE, thanks! I guess I know what scale slot car set to choose in that other thread now!

Well I found a Jensen Interceptor die cast shipped for $15 and went for it. 

Now onto the painting which I am awful at detail work. Happily it’s technically for an infant so that helps me relax on it.
