Bill.B Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Whilst waiting for paint to fully harden off on my next project (Monogram’s Li’l Coffin’), I decided to have a go at giving an old diecast toy a makeover. It started life as a Majorette VW Red Cross vehicle, but over the years of being played with by my eldest son it soon became a shabby wreck. Fast forward 30+ years and it’s been stripped and airbrushed with Tamiya paints with a fully painted interior which includes a patient on a stretcher. The chrome bumpers, headlights and wheels were revived with a Molotow chrome pen. It’ll never win any concours prizes, but it was great fun as a quick diversion. Finally, being only 75mm (3”) long it proved a challenge to steady my hands enough for painting the finer details so I don’t think I’ll be attempting any small military figures any day soon, those days are long gone! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikkita katana Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Maybe not a concours winner but it gets a seriously cool award from me. Luv it!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Looks pretty good to me - that paint job is probably a rival for most of what Majorette produced anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
