Solder job wasn't clean, tried to fix it, lost the part. baremetalHW literally keeping it real. :) That's exactly what would happen to anyone else trying to do a similar job. Love your videos, man
I really liked the look of this car after the new paint. I think it’s the way the bright body finish shins through the translucent paint on all the many high spots in the car. Thanks for all the good videos.
I don't remember when I arrived at this channel, but I am so very happy I did. While I may not collect die-cast cars; I whole heartily appreciate the enthusiasm and dedication to this hobby. It helps motivate me to get some of my own projects done and I can not thank you enough for that.
You, Sir, are a modern alchemist That is truly powerful magick you possess! A great restoration and more experience in reversing the effects of time on diecasts!
It looks great and the technique for soldering is very helpful. I saw Danny's Diecast Disaster Mad Max tanker and it looked great. Thanks for the new technique.
Turned out beautiful. For soldering, just be sure that both parts you want to solder together are hot enough, and remember that solder will flow in the direction of the heat source. If you hold the iron at the top of a crack and feed the solder in at the bottom, it’ll actually run upwards towards the source. Be sure your iron’s tinned when you head in (helps transfer heat into the part) and that’s all there is to it
Ouch, I remember these old beasties on the streets of London, mixed in with the newer types that were becoming the norm, creaky and quite worn out by the 70's but still workable until the FX4 (Cockney Cab II) became the only cabs available. Quite funny is Dr Who's Daleks used the roof indicators off of these taxis, the BBC were masters of cheap tat as props.
Lol, dude you're gonna be confusing 'em into thinking a Cockney Cab was an actual thing. Naughty boy, made me laugh, though. Haven't I seen those indicators on old Landrovers and Morris Minors too?
Yer, is what I was saying... derived from Hackney Carriage. Not being born within the sound of Bow Bells myself, dunno if I would be totally copus with "Cockney Cab" if I was... but, we Brits can take the mickey out of ourselves with no drama. (er, mostly;)
I have a few broken diecast cars that I need to repair. I have used glue in the past but glad to see a better method of repair going forward that I can try myself
Another great video. Glad to see you've added a new tool. Just a word of caution. Always wear rubber gloves when working with a fiberglass brush, make sure there's water involved. Some running water or with a container of water near by to keep things wet. Cause you don't want to inhale any of the fibers. Fiberglass splinters are near impossible to remove, have used this on and off for 38years.
I am in the process of getting into Hot Wheel restorations. I found your channel, watched this video and am excited to see more as I have time. Thank you!! My first restoration will be a custom C3500. The body has several cracks. So, here goes.
It will forever amaze me how much work goes into these, but in the end it's all worth it, as they look awesome! Thanks for another great video as always. :)
Mazak rot or zinc pest occurs from impurities in the alloy causing crystalline corrosion. It's more common in but not exclusive to high humidity situations. Modern railway models still sometimes suffer from chassis rot, which is a pain in a £100-200 locomotive.
You really have a talent in the restoration of these models! Your videos are beautiful and interesting! The only detail that somehow does not fit on this model is the sticker, but maybe I'm just wrong. Thanks for the video!
Dude! Danny's Diecast Disasters is AWESOME! Those are some straight-up SHTF post-apocalypse, Hellbilly Delux rigs! Thanks for the link! Instant subscription!
Very timely and excellent video. I've been wanting to try the copper plate/solder method ever since your first video on the subject. I recently got in three Matchbox Lomas Ambulance's with missing/broken rear bumpers. Looking forward to clearing off the work bench and giving it a go.
So... copper plating the die cast parts is the secret! Sweet job! My two cents - at 5:57, there was not enough flux on the parts. Whenever solder does not want to flow, more flux is usually the solution. Keep up the good work! Great channel!
Nice video, a few basic tips on soldering would be to clean the tip of the soldering iron and re-tin the tip (apply fresh solder to it) each time before you use it. Doing this removes any oxide/flux residue that has built up on the tip that might cause poor heat transfer/conductivity. I have an electrical/electronics background and it's one of the first things you learn in the trade regarding soldering.
Just amazing how much time and effort goes into these projects. Lots of respect.
Agreed

Yep
Thats coz BM is the og
that fade at 2:10 made my soul happy 😂
Great work as always! 👌
Looks great! Love the way you shut down the haters right up front!
Best to ignore them all together
You're awesome, you're the Bob Ross of diecast restoration.

Top Job Fella. I too use your method for soldering diecast, have done for years and it never fails.
I have become addicted to watching you restore these cars .

I like the way the details pop under the paint
Who in the hell downvotes a video like this? You videos are always awesome and appreciated.
Love your videos and projects. You are very skilled as a modeler, video editor and narrator. Very enjoyable to watch and learn.
You, Sir, are a modern alchemist That is truly powerful magick you possess! A great restoration and more experience in reversing the effects of time on diecasts!
Very cool technique you have for repairing these cars. Looking forward to future restorations as always.
Ever thought of branching in to restoration of other stuff, I think you would be really good at it. You have a God given talent
Got it done through 'blood' sweat and tears. Looks amazing! Great work. Love that color on this car.
A beautiful restoration - and I learn so much thank you
Your restoration looks fantastic. I can’t even notice the repairs. Thanks so much for all of the tips and for posting the video. Take care.
Indeed a long time consuming restoration but enjoyable to see the finished spendour of a classic taxi Very good video Thanks

Great to see you still honing your skills, kudos!
Great job. That's a sweet C. cab.
That looks great, the color really pops.
One of your best restorations! Just great!
Turned out great.
I like how the paint looks shaded in different areas.
Love the color. Great job. Enjoyed that very much. Excellent. Thank you. 👏🖒♱😼🙄

Beautiful job repairing this casting. This would be perfect for cracked A pillars.I Always look forward to your videos.
Looks great. Thanks for sharing the tip. A model done in copper plating would be cool.

Excellent work, I've been wanting to try chopping and/or channeling vehicles, and being able to solder them will make it so much better.
It will forever amaze me how much work goes into these, but in the end it's all worth it, as they look awesome! Thanks for another great video as always. :)
Copper plating now!? Would have never considered that! Sheesh man! You impress me every time!

WOOT A new Baremetal Video :)
I love these videos, keep them coming!

Welp I'm about to start restoring redlines these videos I have gotten more addicted to than just watching em for fun
Good job, looks good as well.
Very informative... And a great job on it...
You're badass at what you do, love the work love the videos. I would love to see you do and All Copper Custom Car.
great resto - youre the mad(but cool) scientist of the genre!
Just noticed thew 3D printed alloy wheel display mount for the car, good work sir.
Nice job! I prefer MicroLux paste for soldering. I just bought a red HK Cockney Cab today for $14. Just a couple chipped bumper corners.

Awesome repair work!! Looks great, and as always your paint job is second to none!! Thanks for the great ideas on repairing diecast.👍👍
Nice and most informative for this type of repair. Thank you.
