Proud Kraut Posted August 17, 2019 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2019 Dad's birthday is in sight so it's high time for another small in-between project. Dad was born in 1940 and he still has a lot of his old toys including tin vehicles and so called "Massefiguren" from Elastolin etc. All these toys were heavily used and are in rather bad condition so they only have a non-material value of course. We spent some wonderfull times together restoring some of his figures, painting them etc. I found these five figures recently and would like to add them to his collection. They are in bad condition but I still have two weeks time to improve them as far as possible. Here's the gang: Link to comment
Proud Kraut Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted August 17, 2019 I think I'll have to start with the weapons and the hats of these two cowboys. Link to comment
Proud Kraut Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share #4 Posted August 17, 2019 For the hat I have choosed a "soft solution" with double sided tape. Link to comment

Wake1941 Posted August 17, 2019 Share #7 Posted August 17, 2019 Super job I see so many of the metal ones from the same period repainted and sometimes they just suck. Excellent work, your detail is amazing Link to comment

ArtyScout Posted August 25, 2019 Share #12 Posted August 25, 2019 Nice. A little shadowing and highlighting really bring out the best in these figures. Semper Fi. Manny Link to comment
