Doll? Ferris wheel- ugliest paint award
« on: March 14, 2026, 06:18:52 pm »
Bought this cheap at a recent local auction.
Worst paint job ever. I dont really collect toy steam accessories but couldnt pass on this.

Idk...doesn't look terrible. They didn't have a very steady hand either the canopy stripes.  :D

Nice accessory. Not sure what I would do about the repaint, maybe try to find out what the original color scheme was.

I will most likely move it along to someone more interested in restoring it. After i play with it for awhile first of course!

Still an interesting accessory despite the paint job.
