    Kyle got in touch by email to ask for a surprise 80s commission piece. The car could be of my choosing. Personally, my go-to 1980s icon is the Countach. But, having only just finished one, the second car that pops into my head is the Testarossa.
    I picked up a battered, faded and yellowed Matchbox Ferrari for this task. It was in a poor state. But with a new lick of paint, some subtle detailing and some added tailpipes, this Testarossa has been transformed. I hope Kyle likes it. I am jealous he gets to keep this one!

    Thanks again Jason for working with me on the comissionado piece. It turned out fantastic, and so could not be happier!

    This looks fantastic! The wheels really turn it into a scale model and the windshield looks so much better. Thanks for sharing this.

    Fantastic! I clicked hoping to see a matchbox restoration, and instead saw a custom masterpiece and a history lesson! By far the best I've seen in this niche

    judging by what happens at 1:32 I think this was the 1988-89 color changers :-)

    You've done a very impressive job on this Matchbox casting, Jason! Classic 80s is right! I especially like the new wheels. Thumbs up from Switzerland - Andrew 🍁👍

    nicely done, love the extra detailing. :) most of these details get drowned in paint otherwise. :)
    let me add another version of this casting: one where you can flip the roof , from coupe to convertible. part of a series with only a handful of models, and pretty short-lived, too. found one at a flea market by accident. :)
    the side fins became so iconic they ended up on a lot of custom cars' flanks. german customizer Koenig Special was notorious for putting them onto every vehicle they get paid for to do it. XD

    Hi. Awesome work. Which site did you use for the 3d printed wheels?

    • @DieCastRestos
      @DieCastRestos  6 місяців тому

      Wish I’d added it to the description so it is easier to remember! Looking at the tyres being those smooth (and a bit rubbish) 3d printed type, they would have been from Diecast Dreams Custom Parts on eBay. I imagine they still produce the same type
