Something a little different

Post by oversteery »

I wanted to share the results of a fun little diversion I recently finished. I discovered in my old toy car collection this Tomica brand Tyrrell P34 in 1/52 scale. Not something you see every day. It must be 40 years old and was obviously well loved when I was a kid. I wasn’t worried about altering the car for accuracy, just a lick of paint and some new decals and it now looks better than new. Thanks to Paddos Place for supplying the strange decal scale.

Wow, very nice paintjob. I love these kind of conversions/renovations, I recently did the same with an old Bburago McLaren and the result was better than the original version I think. Yours surely is!

That looks good!

Now I'm really tempted to dig out some old Matchbox cars to paint and decal them with correct liveries...
