At Christmas my good friend Paul Vreede kindly gave me some old toys as a birthday gift
Among them were these lovely old re-painted childhood Rrrumblers.
With a Saturday afternoon free I thought I'd spruce these old Hot Wheels up a bit. I decided in most cases simply to re-glue some parts, re-touch the colours already used from childhood and re-chrome some of the metalwork.
It was a Rrreally fun to do and next I'll put them with a couple of others I have for their maiden Yorkshire tour later.
In the meantime here are the re-touched Rrrumblers. The third from the left just got cleaned, no painting - it just needs a rider, which I'm sure I have spare somewhere.
Hope you like them.
Have you any toy motorbikes?
I only had a few motorbikes, but I did have a very nice Matchbox combination in a light metallic blue. Yours look great.
ReplyDeleteVery nice set of Rumblers. I think just about anyone who owned the orange trike had the handlebars break off. I think I still have mine somewhere in storage. I had the orange trike, some mostly metal trike, 2 cafe racers (1 without the covering), 2 high tailers and a roamin' candle.
