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).
ReplyDeleteMe too Baron. Would have brightened up the dullest of skool days!
DeletePerfect graphics on that beauty - wow! SFZ
ReplyDeleteIt is. DDR design SF, economical and stylish.
Deletethats 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
