The other day I’ve been cleaning up the attic in our old house and amongst the old rubbish I found  
a toy truck. A silly little thing I used to play with as a kid. It immediatelly flodded my mind with memories and gave me an idea for this scene. I tried to reproduce the cheesy 80s aesthetics to evoke the atmosphere of the time when was growing up.

Thank you. The aim was somehow cartoony/cell shaded look, in which case the Eevee would be a sensible choice. But since I don’t have much experience with Eevee and couldn’t get the lighting look right, I abused the cycles Principled BSDF shader. With some adjustment it turned out ok.
