Hi there Moonbasers!
You know how never seem to get exactly what you want for your birthday?
Well, there's a simple answer -just do it yourself! Here are the four Husky Toys I never had as a kid, brought back from the grave -or in this case, the junkyard!
I needed a gift box for these puppies and luckly there's lots of reference floating around on the web. As they said in Casino Royale " It's amazing what you can do with Photoshop these days..."
So a quick background extension, painting out the Batboat and adding a perspective tweaked Monkeemobile from a Corgi catalogue later, I have a very authentic looking but totally bogus title card. Oh, look! The Uncle Piranha has a logo on the bonnet in the illustration, so it must be a thing!
Happy birthdays to you lot too!
Looey

(of course today isn't exactly the right day, but given all the nefariousness drifting around on the net, you can't be too careful!)
One word: Amazing! Many Happy Returns!
ReplyDeleteI like that.
ReplyDeleteOops! I only just noticed the guitar logo on the Monkeemobile is reversed!
ReplyDeleteHEY! THIS IS A FAKE!!!
Well done and Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThat's a very lovely thing you've made there, Looey.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, whatever the exact date might be. That is a wonderful looking set you have created. A great present for anyone, and especially a Husky fan.
ReplyDeleteSuch an eye-catching display piece, Looey
ReplyDeleteMany Happy returns looey! Sterling work, the Huskies are barking in celebration! That takes me right back to 66! Bill
ReplyDeleteThat's a very tidy job, Lewis, well done.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Looey! That's a great set you have there. Its inspiring me to renovate a few more of my Dinky, Corgi and Matchbox treasures.
ReplyDeleteThese include a 1966 FAB1... Maybe.
A stunning project, well done, and well deserved! You really brought back that perfect toy vibe with the display box! SFZ
