The ultimate christmas present for any boy living in the 70’s , I spent hours back then admiring the models , the boxes , even the catalogues in toy shops because they weren’t exactly cheap by the standards of the 70’s , so I had to deserve my Dinky or Corgi by a lot of schoolwork and good behaviour. Sometimes the simple fact of seeing one of your restored models with its boxing can bring back images , sensations and souvenirs from my childhood powerfully , even some I thought forgotten.

Thank you very much. This is what I mean

That’s a remarkable restoration! Brilliant! What’s fascinating to me that these models were designed before Computer Aided Design existed. How on earth did they do it? Anyway another great video, thank you.

I read somewhere that the hand made parts, prototypes, were larger so they could see the mechanisms at work, the scaled down. I find old tooling fascinating. The GI Joe Skystriker plane tool was one solid tool per side. Top half from nose to tail and bottom half. Same with Castle Grayskull. But these cars, to imagine someone hand carving the detail into the tooling. Even the vents at the bottom of the windshield. Amazing!

I had one of these when I was a kid. My Mom bought it for me for my birthday. I must have been around 7 or 8. Awesome brings back great memories. Thank You 🙏

Widziałem na youtube wiele mniej lub bardziej udanych renowacji, Paul bije wszystkich na głowę. Zachwyca przede wszystkim pomysłowością i precyzją wykonania, nawet najmniejsza część wykonywana jest niemal z zegarmistrzowską precyzją. Widać, że wkłada kawał serducha w każdą renowację. Codziennie zaglądam na kanał i z niecierpliwością czekam na nowy filmik, życzę wytrwałości, pozdrawiam

Oh I always loved this Corgi ! My parents never bought one for me as a kid but I loved the old TV show. Kato was played by none other than the great Bruce Lee. The best part of the show was when the Black Beauty was “rotated” from an secret underground parking garage on a spinning platform (seeming to “replace” the ordinary car that’s usually parked in its place) Super Cool ! Thanks for the memories 😎 🐝

As the years have gone by....I have seen so many of this particular car in really beat-up trashed condition. But it's because the kids LOVED to play with it. I know I did. The one you received was really bad. I thought it was great how you went to the trouble of fabricating a piece for the internal workings of the car....now made out of material far superior to what the original factory used. To be Honest, the companies who made these toys were in business to make a profit. There are many items which could have been made better, but time and speed of production did not permit it. Do not let any of the comments get to you with people saying things like, "Not Historically Accurate". I'm certain that if the original craftsmen (and craftswomen) who made these toys had access to all the resources and equipment that you have at your disposal....they would have JUMPED at the chances to make the toys better! When you add chrome highlights ALL AROUND THE CAR, instead of just the bumper....I love it. When you correct the size of a racing decal, replacing the clumsy far too large version done at the factory (and you make sure it goes on straight)....I love it. And when you use your Moloto markers to make the rims sparkle and shine, where originally the rims where a silver grey shmutz, I LOVE IT. I was a kid buying these things in the sixties and seventies and I know how dull the rims were!! Well, I have run on far to long, but bottom line....keep doing what you do. You're GREAT at it! Chalon.
