There are numerous methods to showcase a hot wheels collection, but if you’re seeking inventive ways to utilize your collection instead of letting it gather dust in a dark storage space, we’ve got a solution Straight From The Internet.™️ Encapsulate them in resin and use them as unique decorative items.
Instagram user lava_smola posted videos of their attempt to turn several loose die-casts into basic round tabletops, but why stop there? Think about the still-life dioramas you could craft, straight from your childhood imagination. Massive pile-ups? Police chases? Aerial battles featuring X-Wings and TIE Fighters? Running over the definitely-too-small-for-a-Happy-Meal-but-hey-that-was-the-1980s-Ronald-McDonald?
No judgment here. At least we got outside.
If you're like us, the thought of permanently sealing your collectibles in plastic might make you cringe, but even well-curated collections often contain some less precious items. Instead of hosting a yard sale for your surplus, why not incorporate them into your home decor?
Have you already created your own still-life resin scene? We’d love to see it! Send it to [email protected] or contact the author directly at [email protected].
