Hi there Woodsie! I'm impressed with your restoration projects, so I thought I'd show you and MC some of my recent jobs.
Here's a brace of Popy die-cast "God Phenix" (sic) models. You may remember the Phoenix from Battle of the planets.
Their owner said if I did up both, I could keep one - a great deal!
The general blue paintwork was good, so I added red spray enamel accent stripes. The stickers were missing, faded or ruined, so I reconstructed them in Corel Draw and printed them with a colour laser printer.
The beak nose cones and the upper deck on the left toy got a little high tech as I 3D modelled and printed them.
What do you think?
Much more to come!
Beautiful work Looey, very cutting edge and creative. A great deal too! Thanks for the Shogun material. Many more posts to come!
ReplyDeleteI once bought in a whole pile of Popy die casts including the God Phoenix. It was exciting identifying them all and eventually selling them on. Lovely sturdy toys Looey. They must be great to restore.
