Description

The display should fit with any other 2014 Custom Mustang of the same casting. There are multiple back design that are slightly more general that should fit any Mustang.

As for other Hotwheels Mustang, the display base should fit because Hotwheels cars are not accurate to scale and most of them have very similar width and wheelbase.

If you wish to have a display base tweaked to fit to a specific Mustang from a different brand, please send me these dimension for the display base holes: https://imgur.com/5T6mb2L

The display base is separated into 3 parts for easy printing and colour swap. The parts are:

1) Name plate

• NamePlateBuild.STL (Specific to 2014 Ford Mustang)
• NamePlateBuild(Generic).STL

2) Base (BaseV2.STL)

3) Base back wall:

• BoxBackBuild.STL
• BoxBackBuild2.STL
• BoxBackBuild3.STL
• BoxBackBuild4.STL (As seen on pictures above)

*4) Base Stripe (additional thin stripe to stick on the display base)

*Optional

Base Back Wall and Name Plate Variant

There are many variants of Base back wall, the one printed in my pictures are "BoxBackBuild4.STL", the last screenshot is a picture of difference of each "BoxBackBuild" design.

The difference for each base are:

BoxBackBuild:

A cut Ford Mustang logo at the center with "Ford" at the left side and "Custom Mustang" on the right

BoxBackBuild2:

A large "Ford" and "Mustang" is fit in between the gaps

BoxBackBuild3:

A full Mustang logo at the right side and on its left is a Ford logo with its blue oval then follow by "Mustang"

BoxBackBuild4:

The one that I printed out as my final and as seen in photos. Ford oval logo and follow by "Mustang" at the top of the back wall then a silhoutte of the 2014 Ford Mustang and a black stripe at the bottom to match the car livery.

There are 2 variants of Name Plate, the one in my pictures are "NamePlateBuild", the other name plate is a more generic with "2014" removed and "Ford" moved to the center.

Assembly

The car is tied by wires through the hole in the base

Back plate and name plate should slide in nicely into the display base. The name plate will need some double sided tape to hold it nicely.

Base stripe will be printed separately and i stick mine on the display base using double sided tape.

Others

I did not test the the forst 3 variants of the base back wall and the generic name plate but it should works fine.

Feel free to send me any feedback on how to improve the design. Suggestion on display base designs are welcomed too.
