I already mentioned that I would write in this instalment about repainted toys, and here is part 1 of probably 2-3 parts relating to that topic.
I've included close-ups to show the nice detail of these great old toys. However, the digital camera is much more "severe" in capturing all of the weaknesses in my repainting.
For most people, including myself, the toys look great when viewed normally at about 1 feet (30.5 cm). The lens of digital cameras are fantastic at capturing detail, but not in this case.
Of course, had I had a magnifying glass and some micro-brushes, I could have done better (excuses, excuses....).
I'm a bit tired tonight, so I'll only label 2 vehicles that are not Tootsietoy or Manoil. I
'll revise this instalment later in the week.

If anyone is interested in purchasing any of these toys, please drop me a line @ majortrout@hotmail.com.
I work through PayPal as I normally sell on E-Bay.
However, right now the market is poor for old toys on E-Bay
