Welcome at FreeTime Toys

Hello everybody and welcome here. This blog will be dedicated to the few toys projects I will do during my free time. You can expect some toys rehab, some design adaptation and some brand new design.

If you are here you probably know my taste for Jumbo Machinder, so most of my projects are related to those big guys. Hope you will enjoy it.

The curse of the lost spear

Double post today as I'm in great shape after the break.

One of my main focus for the moment in my collection, and maybe my main goal is to get a Spartan K5. He's not that hard to get in the villains series, but strangely he always escaped me, and I've already lost a huge amount of auctions trying to get it and ended second on most of them. GRRRR

This villains comes with a spear but he's always missing it, trying to get one with a spear is a real challenge and when it comes with it, the price jumps quite high.

I'm sure I will get one one of these days but I'm sure he's going to miss it too. So I've decide to already start working on the spear. It's a bit close to the idea of the Mach Baron car, doing a replica of the eternal missing accessory.

Here's an image of the modeling in progress. I need to take some dimensions on a real Spartan from a friend to be sure it will shoot and have the right size. Unfortunately my friend doesn't have the spear but at least he got the Spartan with his launcher, lucky guy :))

    1. Hello Jim. Sure I will let you know, but I first need to get a Spartan before going further with this.
