Vintage trailers have a great look - here is Greenlight's version of an Airstream 16' Bambi trailer. I prefer tents when I go camping, but this has a definite style to it.
Modeling in (mostly) 1/72nd scale (and any other subject that catches my attention - author suffers from acute "shiny item" syndrome)

Greenlight's 1982 Chevy Monte Carlo from Breaking Bad
I snagged this 1982 Chevrolet Monte Carlo from the Greenlight Hollywood collection even though it had some obvious flaws with the tires. I haven't found any others in the stores, so I will live with the minor flaws. It represent Jesse Pinkman's 1982 Monte Carlo from Breaking Bad. Even has his vanity plate.

Greenlight Topo Fuel Altered Dragster - Black Bandit series
Here is Greenlight Collectibles' Topo Fuel Altered Dragster. It is a 1937 Fiat 500 altered to be a dragster. The model is a little disappointing. It looks good in black, but the front grill is misaligned, and the front wheels don't look quite right.
Greenlight Shop Tools Multipack #3
The last set of shop tools from Greenlight that I've purchased. This set includes a tool cabinet, work light, engine hoist, car jack, vintage soda machine, and vintage gas pump.
Greenlight Shop Tools Multipack #2
Another hobby shop exclusive set of shop tools from Greenlight. This set includes an air compressor, battery charger, drill press, vintage gas pump, vintage soda machine, and work bench. Again, the attention to detail is great.

GL Muscle Exclusive Shop Tool Multipack #1
Greenlight has a series of shop tool sets that are sold exclusively at hobby stores. I picked this set up at a diecast show in Noblesville. They run around $5, which isn't that bad. There aren't many alternatives in 1/64 scale, and they are nicely detailed. This set came with a creeper shop tool, drill press, traffic barrel, tire display, vintage gas pump, and tool cabinet.

Greenlight Collectibles Exclusive Figure Multipack
I went to a die-cast show this past weekend (Yogi's Vintage Toy & Diecast) in Noblesville and picked up some new additions. The show is held twice a year and is a smallish show. Not sure how many vendors, but I'd hazard a guess at 15-25 vendors all said. I found some bargains and found some things I don't ever see in the stores, including this Figure Multipack by Greenlight. I got it for $5.00, which seems like the going rate. At $0.83 a figure, it seems a little steep, but they are painted, and 1/64 figures aren't that common.
The figures are pictured with a Johnny Lightning '98 Corvette Convertible Pace Car for scale (and because of the 100th running of the Indy 500 today).

Greenlight 1962 Dodge D-100 and Shasta Airflyte
Greenlight's Hitch and Tow series has some real winners. I like the vintage truck and camper combo. The hitch assembly is a little fiddly, and I've still not been able to get it to work, but a small flaw that doesn't detract from the overall quality of this model.

Greenlight 2016 Fleetwood Bounder (33040)
I'm not really into modern RVs in real life. They seem too big, too expensive, and too confining. I love to travel, but would prefer to fly over drive if possible. This Greenlight model really struck my fancy, though. It's so huge, even in 1/64th scale, and they did such a great job capturing the subject.

Greenlight Collectibles 1977 Dodge Royal Monaco - from Country Roads Series 13
A first I was surprised that Greenlight released a Dodge Royal Monaco, until I remember the version that was included in the Blues Brothers release. Not that I'm complaining. I love seeing daily drivers, not the muscle and sports cars usually favored, getting some love by the die-cast manufacturers. I always pretend that, if I were filming a movie scene, what cars would I have on the road to lend realism. Chicago can't only have Mustangs and Camaros driving the streets.

Greenlight Country Roads Series 13 - 1976 Dodge B-100 Street Van
The only thing that could make this casting more awesome would be a mural by Vallejo gracing its sides.

Greenlight SE 1972 Chevrolet C10 pickup - from the Country Roads Series 13
A nice looking offering from Greenlight - a 1972 Chevy C10 with camper shell from the Country Roads line. The paint scheme, not really my cup of tea, was a factory option apparently. Part of the "Mod Bods" offering available in 1972.

Greenlight's Will Power Indy Car
Here is Greenlight Collectibles' model of Will Power's Indy Car. The real version has a chassis by Dallara and the engine is from Chevy. The Soldiers and Sailors' Monument is a resin casting I picked up this past summer. Not to scale, but iconic of Indianapolis.

Greelight Collectibles 1972 Ford Bronco
Another entry in Greenlight's All Terrain series is the 1972 Ford Bronco. Got it for around $6.00, so a little pricey, but it is also definitely full of details. My favorite detail is the fact that "FORD" is raised detail on the tailgate.

Greenlight Dodge 100 Years - 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T
I've been a MOPAR fan since I was a little kid. One of my older brothers drove a 71 Dart, and was restoring a '70 Challenger. Greenlight has really captured what makes MOPAR so special. The decals or the rear are great, and you can even make out the R/T logo. From the packaging:
The Dodge brand's 100 year history began in 1914 when John & Horace Dodge began development of their first automobile, the Model 30 Touring Car. Over 45,000 of the Dodge Brother's cars were sold in its first year of productionl this setting a record for the most first-model-year automobiles ever produced. By 1936 three million Dodge vehicles had rolled off the assembly line.
Today's Dodge vehicles carry-on the Dodge brother's vision of - Precision Engineering, Dependability, Innovative Technology and Performance.
As Dodge continues to add to their rich legacy as one of the most storied nameplates in automotive history, you can be sure the next 100 years will be legendary.

Greenlight All-Terrain 1978 Dodge Ramcharger
Greenlight continues to release some great models in 1/64th scale. Not personally into off-roading, but this is a great little model with some impressive details.
