Old Toy - sort of new again



Pulled the old 1970 Imperial Troop Transported of the wall and dusted it off. The decals have long dried up and fallen off, the sound box no longer works and the driver area was home to a dust bunny.
Grabbed the paints, some red electrical tape and a few decal images printed off the internet. Its an odd looking vehicle where the troops you're transporting are completely exposed , especially during a fire fight, ...but it is very sci-fi looking.
I tried to tweak the added details so it fits into the more realistic look of the modern line decals. For those that remember the vintage line had decals that were pretty "toy-ish" looking, using a big button look and bright play-school colors and cartoonish images on any "screens"
