Poster Roy Nakamura over on JDS brings us pictures of the castings which include a 6-Series BMW, the Camaro and Challenger Concepts, a Chevy Pickup, the Econoline Pickup (shown), and a delivery truck which will come in Ice Cream truck (shown) and Taco truck variations.

If you aren’t currently familiar with the work of Bryan Pope at Pope Designs, then I highly suggest you get aquainted ASAP! If you attended the West Coast Convention in California last October, then you might have caught a glimpse of his Hallow Wheels Hot Wheels Drag Bus, or if luck was on your side this past holiday season you might have been fortunate enough to pick up his 2006 Holiday VW Bus which sold out in a blink of an eye.

If owning one of Pope’s amazing creations is on your short-list then your next chance is just around the corner! On Sunday, February 18th at 9pm EST Pope Designs proudly presents a new ‘55 Chevy Panel Truck Custom which is limited to just 15 pieces! Each truck features custom paint, original Pope Designs tampos, Red Line Real Rider tires, an opening rear hatch with custom matching painted motorcycle, and is topped off with an acrylic display case inside a custom matching box.

All 15 pieces will be available on eBay through a “Buy It Now” auction with truck being set at $125 each. Buyers will be limited to a quantity of one to make sure everyone has an equal opportunity to get one. Keen eyes viewing the sale page on Pope’s website will notice that this piece is one of a two car series - so be sure to join the email promotion list as its the only way to get a sneak peek of whats coming up next from this great customizer!

Over in the Diecast & Model Car forum on vwvortex.com poster sbvwfanatic shares a interesting discovery found in the latest issue of Diecast Magazine. The first page ad of the latest issue reveals that Maisto will be offering the VW R32 (MKIV) in 1/24th scale. Photos on the page show four different color variations including black, yellow, blue and red.

This is definitely exciting news for R32 and MKIV owners (like me!) who happen to collect!
