F1400 Starwolf and Starmax Bomber

Update!

Here's another update, since there won't be another posting for the whole of next week. And what way to commemorate this is by putting up my most prized collection which I refurbished. I manage to get them a few months ago and seeing their condition...




Yup...same look I got when I bought it. But you can't say much since it has been around for more than 20 years, so that's why I need to do something about it. Armed with enough experience to refurbish a toy, I worked on it for a few weeks...Since it was mine so I didn't have any time limit...and I wanted to make sure it was perfect!

After weeks and a lot of patience...it was finally finished...here it is....

Ahhhh...the good ol' toys of the 80's. Mind you that some of the 80's produced some lame toys...but Starcom...they produced some of the best! I would love to see them back in the market and I definitely will get them all!

Vintage Palitoys Millenium Falcon

Update!

Here's another Millenium Falcon that I worked on awhile back. It's not as big as the new Hasbro version, so my work wasn't as...sizeable. Anyhoo, The reason why this fella was repainted was yellowing. It was so bad that it looked like it was made out of snot. Can't really blame it, this fella was around since 1979.

So my good buddy asked me to refurbished this since he saw my work on the Hasbro Falcon and he hoped that I can actually return this guy to his former glory. So there I was, another Falcon.

A job's a job's right? Didn't manage to take photos of its yellowing so can't really compare, but I think some of you would know.

Here it is...

Got a request from my pal to change the thrusters to blue. Which is true since I don't remember the Falcon ever had red thrusters...

Go the distance!
