Another Hong Kong special! It started like this...

Hi Katzen,

Nice looking P34. I just wonder where did you get the body from? I was thinking about making/building a P34 in 1/24 scale for a while.

Hello Katzen,

I’m really fan of your work, I think it’s quite challenging, I’d like to find this one to the 1/24 too, and the shape looks good.
Thanks for sharing.

Cheers

Franck

The toy comes from a maker from Hong Kong and can occasionally be found on Evilbay. Thanks for the kudos. These conversions are fun and trying at the same time.

Wow! Nice work Katzen. Your P34 came from a pretty humble beginning. You really look as though you're in the groove with recycling and upgrading these toys and I applaud your ingenuity and skills. :D

What a cute little P34! I applaud your skills too!

Interesting that you can find these 1/24 toys to modify, Katzen. In magazines, I've seen people do the same thing with old 1/24 slot car bodies, and build them up into respectable models like you do. It's a "genre" not discussed much here.

Cheers,
Chris
