Gravesend Australia die-cast salvage
Australia
Приєднався 9 лип 2013
Customisations and restoration of die-cast cars.
Models include Dinky, Corgi, Matchbox, Majorette, Spot ON, Tekno Denmark, Gamda Koor and many others.
When I started this channel I started using a battery powered airbrush as I'd never used an airbrush before, and couldn't justify the $600 expense for a compressor with a 1 litre tank when I can buy a compressor with a 60 litre air tank for half the price.

Geat restorations Michael, well done, mate 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Very cool vintage diecast show 🎉🎉🎉 Awesome
Thankyou for stopping by.
Excellent restoration on these 2 Michael, the hubs can be removed but you will end up destroying the axles, so it's best to leave it .factory era. Happy new year to you Michael
nicely done, love the colours. :) and why not making them civilian cars, or civilian patrol cars even. :) as for the wrong wheel, it's easy: it's a lost hubcap. as we have learned from watchign too many too bad US crime series, partol cars in a chase lose a hubcap in every sharp turn, no matter how many wheels there are. ;) side note, in case nobody has noticed, but you put the glass in backwards on the yellow car, which is why the back end doesn't go together as it should. ;)
Many thanks Lothar for your imput on this channel I've learned a few things. and I'll rectify my boo boo. I wish you a fantastic slide into 2025, and look forward to more of your comments. Cheers Michael
Absolutely beautiful 👍👍🫡🫡
Thank you so much 😀
Two nice customs there, Michael. These started out as Royal Canadian Mounted Police cars, by Dinky. There were also, RCMP, Ford Fairlanes and Cadillacs. The Pontiac Parisiennes were very popular in Canada. They were viewed as superior to the Chevrolet cars, even though they had the same parent company General Motors.
Fairlanes are in my 2025 do do list
From trash to treasure
Pair of beauties there😊😊😊😊
Cheers
Great restorations, Michael . I love them old pontiacs. I did customise 1 on my old channel . Great model to work on. Thanks mate 👍

Thank you very much
Wonderful Michael 👍
Lovely restoration Michael well done mate 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
lovely. :) the original is called a 13-windows-bus here. and the roof windows and large opening indicate a famous "Samba"-bus. the large roof opening is supposed to be a soft top sunroof made by Westfalia, which also came up with the "Samba" name for their luxury bus version. so two-tone is just the correct way to paint this little gem. :)
Nice work Michael this is a very finely detailed casting and you have done it justice the earlier models are the best as they are for most diecast manufacturers.👍
Cool, thanks!
Very Nice
Thankyou 👍
This looks brilliant Michael, welldone
