Catching plastic fish is easy ! The hard part is preparing them for cooking........you have to get ALL the mold release agent off their scales, or they taste horrible. 
The plastic HO vehicles, are much easier to "modify" than the older metal ones. Here, one of the plastic "car-bodies-on-wheels"
got modified to a 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T :
There was a lot of " Add some styrene here, File off some part of the original casting there, body filler and file/sand new body to size and shape, paint, - - - before it was done.
This all was easier and quicker than trying to find an "existing" HO scale 1971 Dodge Challenger R/T.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
