"UNOFFICIAL" kids toy remodelling build thread

[Guest]

right guys,as per my previous posts, this thread can be for your toy builds. the premise is easy,take one childs toy and use all your modelling skills to make it look like a proper model,dont care what it is as long as it was obvious as being a toy and not a model at the start.shall we say a build time of six months with before and after pictures.you can use some kit parts if you wish as long as the underlying work is mostly the toy..

here is what i am working with to start us off

Mmmmm, interesting.

This is really thought provoking idea. Especially with all the toys that will be left over after Xmas.

I'll have a look around, see what I can find and get back to you.

Ok, the car boot sale it is then.

No kids/grandkids to nick from, so I'll have to buy my own toys.:grinball2:

if you go past any charity shops, nip in, you will be surprised what you can find in some of them.look forward to seeing what you can pick up.

made a start on this by taking it to pieces and removing all of the kiddie bits including leds for the flashing afterburners and speakers for the very unconvincing jet engine roar.looking at the basic toy this may be a bit tougher than i first thought. the pretend panel lines are half a mile wide so filling them will be next order of buisness......come on guys, havnt any of you found any fun toys yet.

Hi Andrew!!

I have looked for different toys and there is none that I like much. You allow me to do a transformation like I did with the "Pink Panther"?? These are two models that I don't need, I have repeated, to scale 1/18 of metal. I was thinking to transform in a military vehicle or my great dream from I was young... a Land Rover "Camel Trophy", still I remember that "yellow car" crossing the mud and more mud...

If not, don't worry,no problem, I will continue searching!!

I will not make you alone in this!!

Regards

Couldn't get to boot sale so had a look in the local pound shop for insparation.

I found a toy F22 Raptor, but haven't got it yet, GF thinks Christmas is more important ?

So after the yule season is over i'll be popping in to pick it up, if it's still there.

If not I'm sure I'll find something else.

sounds good tony. polux,it really needs to be a toy that we are using rather than a model conversion, but i am sure an other build will be along soon that you could use these on.

Not problem Andrew.

I will continue searching! I found a military truck of "Indiana Jones" very interesting and nice. If I don't find anything I will go for it.
