“Big Lou” Tanahara’s Sledster
*** See the latest updated information at the bottom! ***
Last week, “Big Lou” Tanahara of Tanahara Design unveiled several shots of an amazing new custom creation that is sure to make the die cast collecting community stand up and take notice. Lou’s new piece is call “The Sledster” and will be sold under his new Custom Crew brand.
Not many details about the piece have been revealed however, a few things have been mentioned on the announcement thread over on JoesDiecastShack.com. So far we know that the first release will feature two different paint schemes and will be VERY limited. Each piece will be numbered on the base with a hologram sticker and come in a acrylic case. Big Lou has stated that the total length is “just shy of 10 inches long.” A post on JaeBueno.com also stated that “the detailed bases are screw on, the headlights are jeweled among other things.” More recent photos have also shown that the Sledster is actually two pieces with the cab being removable from the trailer.
Its evident from the discussion on the thread, that the excitement and anticipation over “The Sledster” will continue to build while we wait for additional release details and pricing. For now, we can all just drool over these great photos!
***UPDATE***
