The Toy Chronicle - Designer Toys

The Toy Chronicle features toys for the collector. These are the odd and unsusual thngs that nightmares are made of. Many of these toys are created by small firms and higher prices. Did I say that these toys are collector items and manufactured in small lots.

Doors and Windows

I have been slow in completing this structure. As you can see I have started creating doors and windows. I started the window by glueing a square piece of window materials to the inside of the structure. Then I added mullions to the glazing material to create the four pane window. The panel door was scratch built using various widths of card stock glued to a cardstock backing.

There are a lot of those here. I found these images in the "extras" folder on the (DVD). They are architectural drawings that set designers use to envision and then to build their scenes and create their sets. They illustrate some of the many sets that may need to constructed. The illustrations also bring some light into new projects.

This Hot Wheels Mercedes 540K has seen Better days

This one of the three vehicles that had been found while I was digging a new spot for flowers and herbs. As you can see it is in bad shape. The axels are shot, it is missing a chrome raditor, and the roof.

This is the Mercedes 540K.¹ First introduced in 1982 and outfitted with the wide white walled wheel set, she was "glamorous, sophisticated, and at one time quite popular".

What needs fixing. Both axils are shot and the white rimmed tires are no longer white. The whole chromed lights and raditor assembly is missing. Perhaps I should screen that area where the vehicles were found. Lastly, the body is riddled with spots of rust, with a few areas almost rusted through the paint and metal.

Although I might disessemble this model so that I can clean it more effectively I don't see myself restoring the piece. With two missing and unsourced parts, it is more trouble than its worth to me.
