The Amazing Customs of Lim Rikmun: Bentley Continental GT3 & Bensopra Nissan GTR35...

What is quickly becoming one of the most popular features at the Lamley Group is our weekly foray into the world of 1:64 customs. We peruse many forums, websites, and submissions sent our way to pick our favorites. There has been some amazing work.

And occasionally we come across someone that really blows us away. Names like "Steady-Hands" franklin2700 and Scale-Master have become regulars here, and we will continue to see their work. Another such feller is Lim Rikmun from Malaysia. The second I saw some of his work I knew we should feature his models here. So we reached out, and Rikmun said he would send us some photos.

As you look as these customs, note that Rikmun builds everything from scratch. Flared fenders? Modified grills and spoilers? All molded and created by Rikmun.

We will be seeing more in the coming weeks, so enjoy this introduction:


Bentley Continental GT3:

It has only been a few days since Bentley unveiled the brand new Bentley Continental GT3:

Soon after, Rikmun got to work converting this:

To this:

Bensopra Nissan GTR35

One of the newest tuning houses in Japan, Bensopra made a splash early this year at the Tokyo Auto Show with this 1000 hp GT-R:

Rikmun followed suit:

There is much more to see.  In the next post we will get some closeups of these beauties:

First Look: Hot Wheels Bentley Continental Supersports...

Friends, get ready for a ride...

Starting now, the Lamley Group Blog will go on a run of First Looks that we haven't done before.  Be prepared for two First Looks a day for AT LEAST the next week, including several brand new models from both Hot Wheels and Matchbox.

Check back often, because new posts should be going up every 12 hours or so.  Or better yet, Like us on Facebook to get the quickest updates (you might even win a Matchbox Mustang), AND go to your right and add your email to our list so updates are automatically emailed to you.


So why not start with a Hot Wheels first - a Bentley!  


I don't have much to say about this one, other than I am truly happy to see a Bentley in the lineup.  I loved the Matchbox Continental GT, and although the GT and Supersports have little differences aesthetically, I like having them both.  The model is very well done.  My example could be better in terms of tampo placement, but other than that it spot on casting-wise.  Oh, and Hot Wheels...thanks for finally getting acquainted with side mirrors...


Hot Wheels Bentley Continental Supersports (2012 New Models):
