PB’s Retro Restorations
Australia
Приєднався 27 чер 2020
Hi! I’d like to share with you my restorations of vintage die cast cars! Mainly Matchbox, Dinky & Corgi, but who knows what other manufacturers might come across my bench. I’m by no means an expert, but hope to steadily improve with each restoration and provide some entertainment along the way.
How to Make Your OWN Vintage Die Cast Cartons! Corgi - Dinky - Anything!
G'day Viewers! With thanks to Mike over at Mike's Mods & Customs for asking me how I make my own cartons, I bring you this special PB presentation of, well, how I make my own cartons!
It is a LONG video (my longest ever) but hopefully you'll be able to pick some bits of useful information out of it.
If YOU would like any of the templates I've created, shoot me an email and I'll be glad to email them to you (for your own purposes of course, if you're creating an eBay empire off the back of my designs at least cut me in lol)
DON’T FORGET! The DMC Paint it Blue for Alzheimer’s Corvair Build and Auction on September 13th! You can also donate via this link: www.justgiving.com/page/dmc-justgiving
I have a new video at least every second Friday at 9:15am ESPBT and I’d love to see you back again! I can’t always promise gold standard restorations, but I’ll always try to make it interesting!

Great job PB👍
Great job! Thank you for sharing.
Thank You, it was a melon twister getting the video together.
Nice l like it. Had 1 new
@@phill2009c6 Thanks Phill, I’m from a time when Christmas & your birthday were the only times you’d get a car like this one too.
Fantastic job on the box and a great tutorial.
Thank you very much Tony.
Well done !!!
Thank you, this was one of the cars I was particularly happy with the results.
Wonderful video PB of a box from scratch. One of my viewers said I should have done a box for my ERF truck. So I will do a video on that but from a template and using Microsoft Excel to dispel some of the myths surrounding the EBay CD templates.
Thank you Andy! I'd be very interested to learn how to use those CD's, are they designed for use in Excel then? Is that why they look low res in Word?
That’s great PB. Excellent video.
Thank you Scott, it went on a bit.
That was very informative. Thanks for that. I'm getting too old to nut things out anymore, so that is going to help.
Thank You David, I suffer so others don't have to 😉😂
@@PBsRetroRestorations You suffer us very well. :D
@@davidreintjens283 😆
Excellent tutorial Pete. I even learnt something from it cheers Michael
Well there you go Michael, thank you.
Good stuff PB! I don't bother with the boxes myself but you never know.......so it's saved and I have the wherewithal. One day I might get an hour spare. Or two...... 😬 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻
I'm not sure how much longer I'll be bothered with them either to be told. Thank You!
Outstanding video peter,a great tutorial one of the best out there ,me personally iam not a computer guy, i could understand that . Well worth all your effort and very much appreciated. All the best Martin
Thank you for saying so Martin, much appreciated.
Thank you, Peter. That saves me a week of fumble fartin' around, trying to figure out how to do it myself. If no one has told you lately. You're an amazing guy and I bet you smell good too. Kind of a cross between, Eucalyptus and vintage Avon.
You're welcome Gerry. I do, and not just any vintage Avon, Canadian Plymouth Superbird Avon if you don't mind.
Quick question maybe I missed it but what cardboard do you use and where do you get it from? Sorry to bother you again. Cheers from Ur #1 pest.
No you didn't miss it, I forgot to include that bit, like an idiot. I use 280 gsm card, the last lot I bought from here: www.ebay.com.au/itm/295923146786?_nkw=280gsm+card&itmmeta=01J5YF0VFB5EX71F3HK3EWX31Q&hash=item44e664e022:g:YeYAAOxymcdRgd-i&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKkOuwnTEM9gfWREP2IG7EE8l1BftUcv4h%2BLm8%2FpZ7arWpFT959fRI8YusCfKLF1KRnsuP5Kilfy7T77R7yM%2BQg2NEo7mj3pUJYh1disjVgDEgzJwrwnFW%2FGZWn5sfsLbJL7uM4jPxEkwRUuDqc14fUfzzBJsXN5Li%2FfknDT1w1W5Y3orEejp%2FVwxyheFeDlsqYafgv3t1Q%2BWRbDSQ9cQOfzyRpJ96ijbeEh13l6O6lQAVFBPT2PHjyPuLmP2%2FdgUi97KFnAy4isa%2Bc7uN%2F5ZL7q%7Ctkp%3ABFBM3reDz69k I'd like to find it cheaper though.
@@PBsRetroRestorations thanks Peter you're not an idiot. You do wonderful, informative videos and we all thx u for it.
@@PBsRetroRestorations have U look on Temu for cardboard? I trying buy a new yacht ⛵ lol 😁
Thanks PB you make it look so easy. When I need to make some boxes all I have to re-watch this again, lol. I no wiz, when it comes to computers. Cheers Graham
Well it's there now for whenever you want a refresher Graham.
@@PBsRetroRestorations thx 🙏 mate.
First
Good Job.
Fantastic great job mate 👍 👏
Thank you very much John 🙂
Just thinking started on a restoration journey on a Batmobile , so impressed that is wonderful work. I love your commentary on it , makes it seem a bit more accessible for the intimidated starter 😂
Thank you Peter! That's what I like hearing, intimidating is the word and it stops so many folk, myself included from having a go. But I figure if they go together, they come apart and there's only so many parts in there and loads of videos on the net to help, so why not have a crack.
Really appreciate that after a long, difficult journey, you still went straight in and restored a car for us. Such dedication is to be admired!
Thank You David, I'm glad to hear that, it helps me to stay positive.
Nice job on this great casting! Cheers
Thank you Marc, it is a great casting, I should do more realistic repaints instead of straight stock restos, this one would look great with a wheel swap.
@@PBsRetroRestorations It's a casting I can get nostalgic on! Always loved the dog in the back when I was ...young! Cheers
🙂👍👍
Thank you Barry!
Nice,using the same colour now on mine PB,we often do the same car ,same colour lol. Looking forward to the video on the box making .cheers Laz
Hi Laz! Well there's only so many diecasts in the world, we're bound to double up sometimes. Plus great minds think alike and all that. Box video incoming, hopefully before the week is out. Put the jug on.
My cousin had the Australian assembled Morris 1100. Great little car and very comfortable 🙂 Nice job 👍 23:57
They're another car that seemed to be everywhere not so long ago. Man, did I get a sad but not unexpected story from the Kmart Garden City Toy Section manager on Saturday, I'd never go there but Mrs. PB wanted something so I checked the pegs, and he asked if I was a collector and if I needed the Civic from the new boulevard set as he has to keep them out the back because they just get stolen otherwise. He went and got me one and said he's missing 20 of them off the pegs. Plus a story about the same three wan*kers that are in there EVERY day.
@@PBsRetroRestorations Pretty sad. I used to go there when I lived closer. Dudes would duck under the roller door and run to the pegs. Nothing left when I got there, I stopped going. Sure I'd like the latest stuff but I won't look like a wanker doing it 😕 I've only been collecting for 3 years and it's gotten so bad just in that time 😡
Out of stock 😐 8:31
That sucks, hopefully they'll get some more in.
Stopping video to buy sanding sponges 😊 8:14
Well I see you didn't have any luck, sorry BK.
Old mate...... Aussie as F 😂 2:37
😎
Lovey little restoration PB well done 👍
Thank you very much.
Great job Peter 👍🏻
Thank you as always Mark!
@@PBsRetroRestorations you're welcome 😊
Glad to see you finally made it back! Though the 3 months flew by. And with enough energy to pull off another fabulous restoration!
Thank you Thomas, it was touch and go for a while there lol.
Matchbox. Lesney 64. MG. 1100. Sedan. Toy. Car. Restoration
Hi Kenny, thanks for watching.
My son recently found one of these at a car boot sale. I was convinced it was an AMC Javelin. Looks more like that than any mustang I can find. Anyway never mind that. Great restoration job mate well done.
Hi Allan, you are dead set right, held up against a picture of a real one it really is nothing like it. A few key styling cues to trick the mind when you're a kid, but the adult brain isn't so kind. The #1 Dodge Challenger is even worse. I still love them though for what they are. Thank you very much!
I really like this model. I have the green standard wheels version with a box in near mint. I also have the rarer blue superfast. Great restoration.
It is a nice little car. The superfast must be a fair bit scarcer as I don't think I've come across one in my travels. Thank You.
Always look forward to your video's Pete Beautiful restoration well done 👍.
Thank You Adrian, that encourages me to keep going, I'm very thankful for you saying so.
Fantastic restoration Pete. Cheers Michael
Thank You Michael.
Nicely done, another neat ol girl reliving life to the fullest. Cheers JV
Thank you JV!
I like it👍
Thank You Phill!
Great job! Looking forward to the box video!
Thank you Willie, it is nearly here, promise.
The only thing I'd have done different on my two, which you've seen, is detail the inside by giving some colour to the drivers and the dogs. Great work on this - love the colour.
Thank you Andrew. If I tried painting the dog and the dude they'd end up looking like they had something wrong with them lol.
Nice job, liked the box
Thank you Phil, if you'd like a copy of the template I can email it to you. I've got a separate video coming just on how I make the boxes too.
@PBsRetroRestorations no thanks but for the offer, just like what you're doing
Great video Peter,watching you go through the process, and it turned out really smart, looking forward to the box making video, all the best Martin
Thank you Martin. I'm finishing up the carton today, it's gotten longer I'm afraid.
Great job there peter I don't mind the at all well done mate
Thank you! I've got a bit stalled on the Revell Bond car, had to put it aside to do an AMT Ford Van my mum bought me lol.
That's a beauty, PB......that dark green suits it better 👍🏻👏🏻👌🏻 Do you need a degree in origami to assemble the box? I'll enjoy your special on printing those out. Have a great weekend, mate. I'm off to work shortly, in service to His Majesty's Great British Public at the world famous (probably) Hunstanton Beach Patrol.....where we don't have to wear rubber hats and budgie smugglers. Fortunately.......
Thank you, I think so too. Is that a real beach or one of those ones that's all pebbles?
Another great restoration PB! Clean MG.
Thank You Scott! Have a great weekend!
Nice restoration, details and paint job!!
Thank you Joe!
Awesome,may I suggest teaching us some Australian words/slang,since mine are all out of date from Cell Block H etc etc Thank you,you great galah,sticky beak etc 😊
Well the first lesson is it was renamed Cell Block H for the international market. It's real name is Prisoner, great show, 🎵 He used to bring me roses, I wish he could again, but that was on the outside, and things were different then 🎵 I will try and Oz it up a bit more, fair dinks ya drongo. I'm gunna chuck a sickie and hit the bott-lo.
I also forgot to mention that I suspect the world is jack of Aussies at the moment with all the Raygunn Breakdancing Olympic Memes at the moment.
@@PBsRetroRestorations never thought of that until now,I just like old tv shows,ah the young doctors,country practice,proffesor poopsnaggle,flying bus thing 😆
@@PBsRetroRestorations YUP
I think you might have got a little delusional from pushing that scooter and walk way pass Ur suburb. I actually like the dark green it came out of treat. Can't wait for the box building video nothing better than spending a whole hour with PB, cheers Graham 😜
Lol, I got lost. I hadn't considered that continuity error, but it's in keeping with the other high standards I hold myself and this channel accountable to Graham.
A very nice restoration, Peter. You are getting better at this game.
Thank You Gerry!
Second 😂 still watching 👀 😳 😊
What was first last fortnight but didn't get a prize 😑😢😜
Good Job KC.
The prize is my undying gratitude and to be fair you do get more shout outs than anyone else Graham, and while shout outs and gratitude don't pay the bills and can't be put in a display cabinet, you should be eternally grateful 🤣🤣🤣
@@PBsRetroRestorations lol I do get a lot shout out.
@@PBsRetroRestorations you're welcome, I try ☺️
You looked knackered at the beginning.
Thanks Cathy, I think 🤔🤣 I may or may not have stopped at Felons Brewery under the Storey Bridge for my birthday prior.
Another excellent job well done 👍
How do I send you some Corgi and Dinky I found in the garden?
Hi Enzso, That's very kind of you to offer, however international postage to Australia can be quite prohibitive. If that doesn't bother you and you'd still like to send them my mailing address is GPO Box 1967, Brisbane QLD 4001, Australia, thank you.
Diecast Resurrection's first post was a Packin' Pacer. Today marks the last post on that channel, two years ago. But PB, you do a great job of filling that void for me. Well done as always! Love it.
Thank you. Two years, doesn't seem that long ago he stopped his channel. Austin does amazing work, hopefully he'll come back one day.
