F is for the Flintstone's Flyer!

I could have spent the last couple of hours chucking a few posts up here to blow the record, but I'm going to that anyway before the month is out (I think this post equals the record?), but I was sent a bunch of card buses earlier and said I'd go through P-Z looking for the last of mine, which I've just done, only, one of them wasn't a bus, by any stretch of the imagination!

Somebody called Cleo (the printers?) for a Thornycroft of Gerrards Cross (not the HGV manufacturer!), for a chocolate egg! Well, Cream Eggs and Cadbury's Mini-Eggs will be in the shops by next Tuesday, you know it and I know it!
 
Scale is all over the place, but realism doesn't have to come first when you have prehistoric men using dinosaurs as earthmovers! Also, the artwork on the three sides doesn't tie-in, as it has on the buses, so just a bit of fun!

  1. The Creme Eggs were in the shops a couple of weeks ago. They don't even wait for Christmas to be over.

  5. Hello. I helped with drawing the artwork on this Flintstones egg box. Was around 1990. In Fulham London. Hand drawn.. difficult to get Hanna-Barbera to approve!

  6. That's fascinating 'How...', can you tell us anything else about the printers or the chocolate firm? Did you work on other novelty vehicles or interactive packaging? I used to work for the firm which made MacDonald's flags! I married them to their poles with a very temperamental glue-machine!
