Another fantastic restoration Nick was worried for a bit that the paint would scratch while you were getting the back of the truck into the cab but you managed to get it in there in the end thoroughly enjoyed watching this one mate looking forward to your next video
Thank you Paul, that back is a bit of a fiddle to get on, I’m surprised myself that the paint didn’t get scratched whilst I was doing it! Glad you enjoyed the video, and thank you for watching, all the best, Nick🐸🐸🐸
Great work Nick, fantastic transformation 🎉. Those decals look like a real pain but in the end top notch 👍🏼🏆
All the best to you and yours this Christmas 🎅🏼 🎄🧑🏼🎄
We are getting ready for a hot 🔥 🍗🍻🦐 one.
Cheers Chris 👍🏼🇦🇺🍻🥂🍹
Looking forward to seeing more in 2025🎉
Thank you Chris, I was worrying when I was putting those decals on, a good job they were very strong lol! A very Happy Christmas to you and your Family, all the best, Nick🐸🐸🐸🎄🎄🎅🏻🎅🏻🥂🎉
Those decals were buttock-clenching, Nick! You got a terrific result, though I was out of breath when you finished! Great restoration on a much-loved casting, and the yellow paint was forgiving, for a change!
Thank you Fraser, it was very difficult to get the water out from behind those decals for some reason, lucky they were very strong and held up to all the brushing and prodding I was subjecting it to, the yellow took a lot of thin coats to get it to cover and the lacquer at the end seemed to help quite a bit👍😊 All the best, Nick🐸🐸🐸
Beautiful work!!
Thank you👍😊🐸🐸🐸
.nice resto nick cant wait for your christmas vido if you are doing one all the best steve
Thank you Steve, I am going to try and upload my Christmas video tonight👍😊All the best, Nick🐸🐸🐸
nice one Nick
Thank you👍😊🐸🐸🐸
Superb restoration Nick. 👏👏Those decals do take some fighting sometimes but you got them perfect in the end! Do you lacquer over them or leave them as they are? I agree, the block tread tyres do look better.
Thank you Richard, lucky those decals were as strong as they were lol, they got a lot of punishment. Most of the time I do lacquer over the decals, in this case I did, occasionally I have had some go wrinkly doing that but when I have made the decals I know I have lacquered them with acrylic lacquer which is what I use on the models, I think where I have had problems in the past is on bought decals that have been lacquered with enamel lacquer and I have then lacquered over them with acrylic lacquer 🤦🏻♂
All the best, Nick🐸🐸🐸
