    Had the Frazer Nash in my collection as a kid in the fifties. Always thought it looked cool. Never realised how old it was.

    Two superb restorations David, back to their former glory. These Dinkies are just a wee bit before my time. I'm more accustomed to the 1960s models and haven't seen many of these older ones. Lovely, simple models but they still capture the handsome lines of these classic British cars. Looking forward to the rest of the set.👍
    Cheers for now,
    Dougie.

      Hi Dougie, thanks again for your comments. They were a bit before my time too - but, as you say, their classic lines are very appealing 👍👍 ... David

    Great job David. I like how you preserve the bases. I do the same to my restorations unless they are particularly bad and really need painted. I do my bit to keep British sports cars alive as I drive a 1974 Triumph Tr6!

    • @davidhyde4329
      @davidhyde4329  4 роки тому

      Thanks Ian, nice to hear you too preserve the age in the baseplate. Nice car, I liked particularly the Tr4 and 6 - true classics - I did have a Spitfire, but it's not in the same class ... David

    Hi David, thanks for sharing! Are any of the cars you restore the actual models from your youth? Despite all of the moves and various eras of my life, I still somehow stumble across items from childhood. How so many toys, including many diecast, are still around is a mystery to me. The latest was finding a Matchbox No 44 Rolls Royce that I received from a gift exchange in grade school. That must have been in '64. It is great fun to have shared the toys with my son, and now grandson. Your videos at times have reminded me of certain models, and then tearing the house apart looking for them!

    • @davidhyde4329
      @davidhyde4329  4 роки тому +1

      Thanks again for your comments. Alas no - not a single one, but, it is great that a good many of them survived. Even the beat-up ones - why are they still around?? There seems to be a reluctance to throw these marvelous survivors in the garbage bin. Glad my videos have bought back memories😊😊👍👍 ... David

    Great job! I have a question though, did you use a drill press orr the work station is a universal tool that you can fit any drill or dremmel in? I like it. Any idea where I could purchase a similar one? Thanks

    • @davidhyde4329
      @davidhyde4329  4 роки тому +1

      Hi, many thanks, much appreciated. I have a drill press but I normally use the Dremel workstation - its smaller (obviously) but more convenient and versatile in my hobby room. There are plastic parts which makes it less of a 'precision' tool - but It suits the uses the levels needed for much of the hobby work I do. The drilling and buffing shots on this video were done with the work station. I have owned this for many years. At the time It did not fit all the Dremel drills available (can't remember why). You would have to check this out with your particular model. I have just done a quick search on ebay and they appear to still be available. Check through these to see if you can find your drill model mentioned. Buy from ebay or Google your nearest Dremel stockist . Thanks again, and good luck ... David

      @davidhyde4329  4 роки тому

      Many thanks. My god, I did not know there was a correct (accepted?) way to remove a scrap of sandpaper. In my efforts to get things right I will certainly use scissors in the future (and look forward to the 'don't blunt your scissors by cutting sandpaper with them' comment 😁😁😁) ... David
