Gnome colours

[CharlaineC]

Ok so i have the parts from the blue gnome that bit the dust on me. I would like to repaint them to be the colour of the green gnome. but my question is whats a good match to it? Does anyone know

I'm still looking for paint matches to this one.

i am thinking john deer green? what do yall think

I used Tamiya green brush-on acrylic. It looks pretty good (except where the red rocket next to it ate into the finish and made red spots - darned hot cars and acrylic paint!)

BTW - I think YORS has the scan of the original green gnome decal sheet.

Wasn't the Green Gnome called the Leprechaun? or was that another varient on the Gnome?

[gpoehlein]

Nope - in fact, here is a page from the 88 catalog that shows both side by side. I'd forgotten the red nose cone, though.

Don't worry to much about it just, visit your local dollar store, pick up some assorted St. Patricks day stuff and build your own little jewel :roll: uses the same 13mm motors anyway;)
