Paint tins were essential kit back in the Sixties. No self-respecting boomer would be caught without a tin tray of watercolours.
And so it was in East Germany too. This Varia paint tray is just wonderful with those rocket and satellite illustrations.
Did you have a tin of paints readers?
Wow, I would've really liked that. Paint sets like that are still around, or at least were when my kid was little (early 2000s).
ReplyDeletePerfect graphics on that beauty - wow! SFZ
ReplyDeletethats a lovely tin, its Sputnik 3 and Lunik 3 probes at the top and a made up rocket along the bottom, possibly loosely based on the Sixties Hawk Apollo model: https://fantastic-plastic.com/atlassaturn-interplanetary-space-vehicle-by-hawk-models.html
