Thanks very much my friend

[@crapaudnicksdiecastrenovat1739]

Lovely restoration Martin, looks really well on the old magic, shame about the door, occasionally you seem to come across that kind of plastic that is difficult to glue, not sure what the reason is, those tyres are nice and as you say, suit it very well👍😊 Take care, all the best, Nick🐸🐸

[@martindaredare]

Thanks nick ,yes that plastic was that horrible stuff very waxeie I might try moulding them in resin .
Can't be any worse .All the best Martin

[@steaminglion4067]

Nice referb Martin . One thing that makes me laugh is when you see any archive footage of these cars being designed in the factory the impeccable work that goes into getting the scale perfect & then go bugga up the scale of the people or steering wheels #vintage cock up 😂. Good job as always 👍

[@martindaredare]

Yes your right about that. With ,a lot of work at the design stage but letdown at the end

[@loknlode]

That looks a good strong sturdy casting Martin, it's a shame they put plastic doors on it instead of metal, however, you've done a great job on it. Thanks for sharing this with us, I'm looking forward to the next video. Best wishes. Peter.

[@martindaredare]

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Neil yep going cheap that's why most of these have no doors on .

[@chrisparkinson1351]

Top job Martin, as always a perfect transformation to new. If my memory is correct this model came with a crate of bullion the same as the "radioactive crate" supplied with the Spectrum maximum security vehicle.
All the best my foreign. Chris 🍻🇦🇺👍🏻🎯🏆🇦🇺🇦🇺👍🏻🎯🏆

The GMC brinks truck is different and don’t see much of them , it has a lot of details & Looks very realistic, the ones that I have seen are red& black& some are white/ silver or blue / black, another diecast restored Martin , well done 👍 you take care my friend, looking forward to seeing your restorations. 👋😎🚒🚚🛺🚙🛻

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much Jeff, we don't see these over here ,but there's a few to look at on Google images so it wasn't to bad finding out about the extra details.
All the best Martin

looking good Martin , very neat

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Shane

[@geoffmower8729]

Wow nice job mate in the voice of Michael Caine Your only supposed to pull the bloody doors off.😂😂 You really have a knack of bringing out the details on your resto's and those tyres are brilliant even have the tread. On my lap top the original colour looks white but it looks much better with the grey. So my mate said he was going on Britain has talent with his uncle. His uncle has only one leg, one arm and half of his face is missing. I asked him what song they were going to sing. He said they hadn't decided yet but it will be something from Simon and half uncle. 😂😂🤣🤣 keep smiling mate and I'll see you on the next one.👍🏻.

[@martindaredare]

🤣🤣 like it , the tyres are not designed for those hubs but thay look good, I was going to use the Michael Caine line but forgot.
All the best Martin

[@lotharrenz4621]

nice. never seen one of those before. I almost thought it was a piggy bank like the matchbox one. :)
yes, those doors are surprisingly flimsical. they remind me of old plastic siku's doors and other movable parts, as well as Norev's plastic models. which also seem to warp over time, too...
anyway, nicely detailwork, too. ^^

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Lothar, yes it's a shame about the plastic parts it's a very waxie feeling plastic, maybe a resin replacement might be the way to go .All the best Martin

[@oxfamshop]

It is my ambition to get one of those and the matchbox kingsize security van to go on the display with it. Loving your work

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much my friend, I hope you get them both .all the best Martin

[@lostonwallace1396]

I like how it turned out!

[@martindaredare]

Thanks very much my friend

[@frasermartin6728]

Can't decide whether that is a GMC base or a Dodge, like the Corgi Kew Fargo... but it turned out well and cleaned up nicely. Heavyweight thing, so good moneys-worth as a toy. Not one I ever had though, and I don't remember any variations. Always a pleasure to watch your detailing, though, Martin!

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Fraser, yes dinky did to versions this one and a darker grey and different decals for a Mexican Bank. All the best Martin

what do you use to hold the small parts like doors and tailgates just started doing restorations been making 1;50 scale kits for awhile their a little diffrent no opening doors ,great blogs.thanks

Hi Paul, I use the small crocodile clips on a stick for the small parts and forceps/surgical clamps for the bigger parts .enjoy your restorations.
All the best Martin

[@mikeking2539]

That plastic they used on some models is/was awful. Not sure what it is made from, but like you were saying it has a wax like quality to it almost also kind of rubbery! I would think that the paint would be easy to 'chip' off. I've seen it used on some other models. I had a quick look online and this truck did come with two crates of gold(?) ... Nice restoration.

[@martindaredare]

Agreed its horrible stuff to work with ,it's a shame because it spoils it .and the hinges are rubbish

[@warrendunhilllloyd195]
