1:64 Explorer Project

[97Sandbox]

Haven't been working on my Sport much lately due to new baby responsibilities, but I have been working on a fun Explorer project -- a 1:64 die cast Sport that I'm detailing to look like my truck.

It's not the same as wrenching, but it's been something fun to tinker with between diaper changes. Thought y'all might get a kick out of it!

Oh there ya go! Funny I got the idea a few months back and am doing something similar! I bought this 1:24 scale explorer to make eventually look like mine, technically a '97 vs my '99 but we'll just roll with it. Just haven't take the time to work on it yet. But maybe soon since theres less on my plate. Good luck on yours and congratulations on the baby!

Is that one a die cast too? I built one of the AMT 1:25 '96 Explorer kits to look like my '97 XLT years ago but the plastic model hasn't held up all that well.

Yeah, it's a die cast, by Maisto. Can find 'em on ebay if you're interested, and to correct myself, it's actually a '95 exploder. Hadn't ever seen your kit, would've been interesting to get that too

The only bronco ii model or die cast anything I could ever find is an old matchbox car it’s a yellow bii with red flames and a sunroof. I would love to have a little bronco ii model!

Some of those Bronco II die casts are impressively detailed!

I've never seen a Bronco II model in-person either, but I do have a first gen 1:42 Maisto truck that was mine as a kid. My dad give it to me back when he was driving a '93 XLT.
