Matchbox BMW 750iL Diecast Restoration
Просмотров 560День назад
The restoration of a BMW 750 Police car. This was an experiment to match decal colour to the paint colour. I first tried whole decals for the whole panels but the panels were too curvy to adhere even with Micro Sol. Next time I will spray the panels. Unfortunately plan A didn’t work.

This video follows the restoration of a Dinky Toys No. 30J Austin Truck. It is actually two trucks eventually that are repaired. They are both taken back to original colour schemes. I did like the peening of the axles been so close o the body work.So I used a solution I had been thinking of a while and used very small wheel nuts instead. I also took parts from an F1 car to make the headlights f...
Diecast Restoration of 2 Rolls - Royce Silver Clouds
Просмотров 354Месяц назад
This is the restoration of two badly playworn Rolls - Royce Silver Clouds. One by Lesney and one branded Matchbox. They are 1/80 and 1/69 scale. I wanted to paint in gold one for a future restoration I was considering and one in deep copper to compare. I thought the copper would suit the Silver Cloud.

    Lovely restoration andy she looks fantastic the yellow is a really nice colour ,what i do sometimes with the hubs is heat them up it tends to shrink the axels enough so its easier for the puller and to put back them back on, once the metal goes cold again the splines swell back to normal i use one of those long match type lighters with the trigger and gas for lighting oven hobs etc look forward to the next one best wishes jay

    • @hxjay1971

      Just heat it up with a chefs blowtorch or something similar and get a nail puller behind the hub they pop off really easily

    @Buster-jg9zg 12 дней назад

    Nice job Andy, colour matching, we can only do our best, I have done cars I have actually owned, on the more modern ones I go the extra mile and get paint matched to the registration, but that works out at £20 a can.

    • @andysgaragediecastrestorations
      @andysgaragediecastrestorations 12 дней назад

      Yeah I can’t justify £20. The paint I use is about £3 a can. The colour match is not difficult it just takes time. The factory never did it from what I can see. White lettering is a key reason to try it. Thanks for watching and commenting Buster👍

  • @frasermartin6728
    @frasermartin6728 16 дней назад

    Quite a few bonkers models there, Andy, but a few nice projects in the makinhg. The Mini Traveller is nice - I have wanted to get one of these and Code3 it as my Dad’s first car, though his was an Austin Countryman: Fiesta yellow and a blue interior: what were they on, I wonder? Handy wee Milkman. The Marshal Tractor will be a challenge, but you’ll work round it with a bean tin, I’m sure!. The Beetle is rescuable if you can find better wheels for it.

    The Plymouth Sports Suburban Corgi Toy seems an odd scale compared to the Rolls Royce, and even the Olds Toronado - I doubt it is 1:43, but they were smaller than you’d expect: there is one painted in Corgi colours, bizarrely, in the Sharjah Old Cars Museum and the roof didn’t even come up to my shoulder! The Dinky 1100 looks to be a nice challenging project with a huge contrast between ‘before’ and what after will look like.. and if the Corgi Toronado doesn’t restore, the wheels will do nicely. Maybe on the Thames? Nice Oxford, and a cracking spraying setup. Good start to the New Year!
