Find a matchbox or hotwheel car that you like and want to duplicate. Use tinfoil to get the general shape, use several sheets to make it stronger. When this is finished use cheap candles, they will melt better and then fill the mold. When you take the wax out you will most likely need to do some work to make it smoother. A very light sand paper should do the job. If you want a bigger car use a larger model. I've never tried this but it might be possible to melt candles in a pot on the stove and then carefully pour the hot wax into a mold. (use a pot that can be thrown away) After all that's more or less how candles are made anyway. Good luck and I hope this helps.
