Cortina’s were one of the 80’s sales rep’s cars of choice, and it’s not where the ‘rep’ stops with this car. This Matchbox Mk4 Cortina is as close as I could get to in 1/64 scale to the mk5 I had on the road whilst working for @retrofordmagazine. @creative_one64 had BBS wheels which were close to the wheels it had and set the build off perfectly. #hotwheelscustoms #164customs #matchboxcustoms #bbswheels #fordcortina

One of my first and very basic customs, an Escort Cosworth. I looked at the original model with graphics and realised the colour was very similar to the Monte special editions. With a removal of the original graphics, some correct wheels from @creative_one64 and a bit of detailing, it was soon transformed. #hotwheelscustoms #164customs #diecastcustom #cosworth #monte

Recolour of the 911 Cabriolet looks great in silver. Had to swap those wheels though. Now sitting on @creative_one64 Rotiform WGR-S wheels. Also had to lower it 🔥

Throw back to my very first custom, in this case a Corgi XR3i. Full repaint, @creative_one64 Escort Cosworth wheels, slightly lowered. I learnt a lot from this one. #164customs #corgimodels #164scalediecast #xr3i #cosworth

Paint, patience and a wheel swap can turn a peg warmer into something special. My first time masking a stripe, think it turned out pretty well! @creative_one64 delivering the goods on the wheels again. #hotwheelscustoms #164customs #wheelswap #chevy #chevelle

Pretty chuffed with how this came out. Used a @corgi_official Land Rover 109 pickup casting, hand make a chassis, clearanced the rear bed and front arches, custom axle tubes and @creative_one64 wheels and finished with some added patina 👌 #164customs #164scale #customhotwheels #patina #landrover

MATCHBOX MB181 Mercedes-Benz 300E custom

Introduced in 1984, the W124 Mercedes-Benz combined exceptional engineering, timeless styling and legendary durability, earning a reputation as one of Mercedes-Benz’s greatest achievements. But for some enthusiasts, the W124 alone wasn’t enough...

Enter AMG.

Long before becoming Mercedes-Benz’s official performance division, AMG was an independent tuning company founded in 1967. During the 1980s, AMG became famous for transforming sensible Mercedes saloons into outrageous high-performance machines. Their most legendary creation was the fearsome “Der Hammer”, a W124 fitted with a hand-built 5.0-litre V8 transplanted from the larger W126 S-Class. The result was one of the fastest four-door cars in the world and a machine that helped establish AMG’s reputation forever. Smaller-engined variants, often nicknamed “Baby Hammers”, delivered the same aggressive styling and performance-focused character in a slightly more attainable package.

In this video, I take a rather tired Matchbox MB181 Mercedes-Benz 300E and give it the AMG-inspired treatment. My model had certainly seen better days, with a bent A-pillar, a yellowed windscreen and plenty of paint damage, particularly to the base. After repairing the damage, I transform the humble diecast into a period-correct AMG-inspired restomod.

I repair the model’s damaged bodywork, straightening the bent A-pillar and restoring the yellowed glazing. I then transform the Matchbox Mercedes with a series of period-inspired AMG modifications, adding front and rear lip spoilers along with a ducktail rear spoiler to capture the aggressive styling of AMG’s famous 1980s creations. The finishing touch comes in the form of classic AMG Aero 3 wheels before the entire model is refinished to complete the transformation into a miniature tribute to one of the most iconic eras in AMG’s history.
