Blazing Blazer Full Restoration SOLD
This Blazer completes my collection of 1/10th 3 Speed Trucks. It has taken ages to complete. Restoration was halted for some time as i was lucky enough to find a very rare Limited Edition Black 934 RSR Porsche, and i just had to restore this first. As with all my restorations the model was completely stripped down and each component was cleaned and either Zinc Plated, Anodized or refinished to give that fresh from Tamiya look ( Not over polished ) The Chassis went together well and all the Radio gear and 6V Battery were installed and tested. The body needed much more work. Both front wheel arches were modified by a previous owner and had to be re-modelled (Last Picture shows how bad they were), The body was also covered in cracks, deep scratches and splits. All of this was fixed and prepaired for painting. Gloss Black acrylic paint was used, when dry all the Decals went on. I then clear coated, polished and waxed the body to give it that glass smooth finish. The roof was the next part to be finished. I desided that i wanted it to look like a real aluminium roof , so i covered the wing parts with Bare Metal Chrome Adhesive backed foil and this gave me exactly what i wanted.
Lastly the Driver was painted and seated. As a final touch i added a full four point Seat Belt Harness with shoulder pads for the Driver.
This has been a long restoration but well worth the effort. I hope you all like it.
