My wife is a master teacher at a local preschool. With a resent playground upgrade, they lost their sand box. Don't worry they got may more cool play ground toys. On Fri I noticed a pile of unused sand toys. in the pile was this one CAR. Boys I search that whole pile for more even looked through the ones in the recycling. This is the only one I found. I got really excited, kinda VW bug looking, good size and very cartooned. Now that I have had it for a day or so, I'm not sure what to do with it. ok, other than making Sandcars up and down the beach. I guess i was thinking of making it into a model. However I think it might be better used as a mold for resin casting, you would have a whole crew of cars. SO Sand car-toons up and down the beach? try to make it a model?---- Might be out of my skill range. Use it to make more resin car-toons? ----- Way out of my skill set? Do Y'all want it for that? Was so excited to find a Car-tooned sand toy. Now I just don't know what to do with it. No end game here! Front/pass side  Rear/driver side  Fun for a day, but now what?  Jonathan |

If you'd like to send it I will make a mold of it and return the original with a resin copy .. I will NOT modify your toy but I will modify THE MOLD as not to have the tire in the wheel opening. mold making materials RTV rubber, cups, stir sticks, Lego's for making mold boxes and casting resin are not cheap but I will be happy to make a few for those here who wish to pay for materials and shipping... this might be a fun little group project/challenge ... if you would decide to send the toy PM me for my mailing address .... I would prefer that only those who are planning on having it as a building project NOT sell them . This project would be a privilege for those as a member to build as a challenge not for personal gain .. sound fair ??
