Where did you find the missile for the SHADO 2 Mobile. I have the vehicle (In much better condition than yours but still in need of new paint) and of course lost the missile decades ago.
Great video - brought back a lot of memories. As a 9 year old, I used to write to the Binns Road, Liverpool, Meccano factory for replacement missiles. They always sent me three, free of charge. The factory, I later discovered, was only about 8 miles from where I lived, in Aintree.
@@richardsanders4624 thanks for the reply dude. There are some great channels here on youtube for doing resto work. I still have many of my old Dinky , Corgi and matchbox. Many give usefull tips and also where to get repro parts. Stay in touch, would love to see how it goes 😀
Fantastic job on this. Looks amazing. I loved my Shado Mobile as a kid. I do a similar thing with repainting action figures, I fancy a go at one of these, not to restore it as original but to try and make it look as realistic as possible. By the way, I'm stealing your idea with the plastic tray to stop dust sticking as the paint dries. Good job fella.
I saved up all my pocket money when I was a boy in order to buy one of these. Absolutely loved it, and of course the rocket went missing, and snapped the rubber tracks. I always disliked the green colour as the one on the TV show seemed to be grey, so I painted mine silver with some airfix paint. Had an Interceptor too. What memories! 💗
Great to see this! I still have my childhood SHADO 2, complete with missile. Is there any chance you could do another SHADO Mobile, but in studio accurate colours, please? Dinky were always changing the colour of their models from the original. The SHADO Mobile prop was a metallic bluish-green in reality. It also had some paint detail not on the Dinky model.
Thats really good..ive found mine from the 70s at my recently deceased Mums. Its green and still has original white missile. Cant decide whether to get the green shado 2 decals and repaint the body or paint it in line with the tv blue grey colour. Tracks and interior etc are fine.
I have 9 of these of which 5 need restoration. I always wanted one as a child but only ever got interceptors which to be honest I wish I still had. Great vid, shame the sound is a little iffy in places but very useful video to set me on my way
Hi, in the tv show the SHADO's were not green. They were a grey blue colour (Meaning the meata had a slight blue clour to it.). THe interceptor's. where green model and white on the TV show. I hsad one and it was fun to play with a young boy.
Ah, memories! The first thing I did with mine all those years ago was to get a tin of silver grey car spray and give it a 'proper' paint job with the white lines and letraset numbers and text! If I remember rightly, the tracks ended up repaired with a couple of paper staples to hold them together (a la old Airfix tank model instructions!) And my Shado Moonbase Interceptor also got a repaint - did Dinky have a surplus of green paint to shift before its expiry date or something?
I have spent the last 5 years replacing all the dinky / Corgi toys that I had as a child. I have 3 of the SHADO Mobile's in different versions. After watching this Vid, I am seriously thinking about doing resto jobs on others. I did a resto job on an original 1966 Batmobile but it didn't turn out as good as I had liked. I think a bit more time is needed.................
Very good....I've got most of the Gerry Anderson models for making over as well. Like you I've only done the 105 Maximum Security Vehicle and the Shado 2 so far so I'm very interested in seeing what you do with others that you restore. I did the Shado 2 in olive drab which I think is a little nearer to the original than Steve Flowers colour matched paint but that is maybe just me. I also used a Matt clear coat rather than gloss but again that is just personal choice. Excellent make over....very detailed. Congrats on having one with a decent spring mechanism in the rotating top...mine is very weak and doesn't flip very well. I might want to do it again and try and replace the spring if I can find a way to do it. 👍
hi Derrick, thanks for the comments and I think I might agree with you on the colour. The original tend to appear a little darker, but maybe the passage of time has a part to play. I'm going to do the Spectrum 104 next and currently collecting parts and spares, paint wise I'm trying to get model supplies spray paint , unless I can find a halfords metallic that is close.
@@narrowmindedrailworks .Hi Adam..check out a youtuber called John Ferguson...he made over a Shado 2 using Steve Flowers colour matched paint for the Spectrum 104...it is a great colour but when he compares it to the original 104 you'll see that it is darker than the original paint. Still an awesome colour though. Look forward to seeing your next video.
On the basis of the UFO Shado classical tv series was created a computer game UFO2Extraterrestrials that hosts interceptors, skyrangers, personal armors, mind probes, alien interrogations and many others. There anyone can intercept UFOs, take trooper on missions or interrogate aliens. It is worth playing especially if you grew up on the UFO Shado. store.steampowered.com/app/1049850/UFO2_Extraterrestrials/
I had the same version, I think my missiles were white with red rubber tips. I remember I must have been 10, putting in two crew from an Airfix 1/72nd scale F-111. I loved the colour green so much I bought a Jensen Interceptor in almost identical colour years later.
I had this one. It really was special to me at the time. Amazing just seeing it again. I don't need to own them, just looking is fine for me. I'm not the expert but I think it was a darker green the one I had. Could that be right?
Great job but the colour you used for the base was more a beige than the duck egg blue used originally. Not sure why as you colour matched the top so exactly.
Congrats on the restoration! There is a detail which amazes me: you paint the Mobile base with Tamiya acrylic paint but then finish it Humbrol enamel clear coat....didn´t get problems mixing those 2 different paint types?
In this video you carn’t hear what your saying & secondly what colour number for revell aqua colour orange.I would be appreciate about the number you used.Other than that I really enjoyed watching you restoring it!
I noticed you lacquered over the stickers? Do you test the stickers first to see if the lacquer causes any rippling or anything? Great tutorials by the way!!
Yes , I had tried earlier with a piece of these as they were paper based to make sure the ink didn’t run. With the water slide ones it’s less of a problem. Thanks too for the compliment
It's one of those things that Dinky probably though the grey too drab and wanted to make it more like a tank. Worse was the colour of the interceptor being metallic green instead of white! dinkytvspace.com/dinky-353-shado-2/
Why was James Bond's DB5 gold and not silver? ...its a Dinky thing! LOL Seems, Dinky didn't like anything that was anywhere near the bare metal colour (gray, silver, etc)...and in those cases they opted for a different paint colour. (Hence the DB5 change from silver(metal) to gold)
Hi I get most of my parts from ACME 3000, Model Supplies and Toucan Toys ACME 3000 : ebay.to/2StQd82 Model Supplies : ebay.to/31TFNRV Toucan Toys : ebay.to/2wismPV
Hope you like this restoration, I was lucky to find a SHADO 2 mobile in a passable condition.

This Dinky pulls some serious coin on eBay, anything UFO, Space 1999, Thunderbirds is like Gold now
Excellent Video-Summery..! I still got my original Mobile. Got some replacement tracks, missile. Bit scared to attempt full restoration. Thank You. 👍
same here, how about getting an old one off ebay to do a resto. Thats what I am doing. Then a little diorama !
@@richardsanders4624 thanks for the reply dude. There are some great channels here on youtube for doing resto work. I still have many of my old Dinky , Corgi and matchbox.

@@richardsanders4624 back again , lol, Bob WIllis ...he is in Uk, great guy , done many including Gerry Anderson stuff.
I received one of these as a birthday gift when I was a lad - a great toy which I loved.
I’ve got a few Gerry Anderson’s toys I’ve collected , my grandson asks can l play with good stuff grandad when he visits us , always makes smile 😊
I can remember seeing these in our local toy store in the suburbs of Melbourne Australia in the 70s.
I had one of those and I loved it. The TV series was great.

Only one word for this resto [ EXCELLENT ]
I saved up all my pocket money when I was a boy in order to buy one of these. Absolutely loved it, and of course the rocket went missing, and snapped the rubber tracks. I always disliked the green colour as the one on the TV show seemed to be grey, so I painted mine silver with some airfix paint. Had an Interceptor too. What memories! 💗
so glad I found someone doing this and yes I lost the missile straight away
Great video, great job. I´m glad that my mobile still is fully functional.
Lovely restoration.
I've got one of those, which apart from minor paint chipping and a hairline crack in one of the windscreens, is in immaculate condition!
Excellent from start to finish!
Great work Adam looks excellent
Great job, Adam!
Looks amazing well done 👍

Absolutely superb.👍
I had all of these as a kid wish I still had them don't make toys like them any more let alone the brilliant TV sci fi they were made for
They don't use punctuation
the way they used to either.

Beautiful Job
Looks like a great restoration ! I did a custom of this , on my channel .
Nice conversion , was it inspired from the matchbox BP exploration stalwart?
@@narrowmindedrailworks Yes it was. I mostly do customs,but i can enjoy looking at an restoration too.
Inn the process of restoring 3 mobiles myself, nice insight
Lovely job. Just subbed
That was great! I'd rather listen to your commentary than that music though.
Noted!
excellent job

Just wondering where you got the Shadow 2 decals from and the new windscreen? Thank you for the video!
Funny how I don't remember this model when it was new.
Can you check out the audio on this video, there appears to be an issue with missing narration.
had mobile, interceptor & a shiny gold Ed Straker car.

I'd rather have the Jensen !!
I had one of those!
The bases on the early releases were painted Duck Egg Green.
I had this one. It really was special to me at the time. Amazing just seeing it again. I don't need to own them, just looking is fine for me. I'm not the expert but I think it was a darker green the one I had. Could that be right?
Where did the spare parts/paint come from?
there where a few versions of this model. Smooth roof (flip part) in green or in black and this version with 4 "panels" in black or in green.
Great job but the colour you used for the base was more a beige than the duck egg blue used originally. Not sure why as you colour matched the top so exactly.
Need a little more work with that black paint, otherwise perfect. Great video, looking forward to the others :)
You could also mask the wheels by painting them with Maskol.
I still have my SHADO mobile, except for the missile.
Where did you get the replacement parts? I hope the music in your other videos is not so overpowering. It is hard to hear you
I think sain would be a better finish than gloss and a bit more flatting.
Good job, but the green was much darker.
Wasn't Century 21 also in Slough?
Yes
What company did you get spare parts from please?
Congrats on the restoration! There is a detail which amazes me: you paint the Mobile base with Tamiya acrylic paint but then finish it Humbrol enamel clear coat....didn´t get problems mixing those 2 different paint types?
thanks for the comment, and have had no problems with the finish using that clear coat. Luck or ignorance I'm not sure :)

The black paint's all over the place. 19:08
It got a little rushed towards the end, a little more care and time and a smaller brush would have got a straighter edge.
Good work! Why did you go for brown on the underside instead of the pale green that was on it originally?
It was a match for the colour that was already there. Looked original too. Intrigued now , I wonder if there were many variations?
@@narrowmindedrailworks must be my monitor. The original (good shot at 2mins) looks pale green and the match looks brown!
Portland182 I think you are right. Seems a shame given the trouble of getting original paint for the topside.
Great job but colour supplied is wrong ...more to the shado decal
Good job, perhaps the wrong base colour, and a little to much gloss finish in my oppinion.Well done.
One I never had.
Always wanted the actual ufo where can i get oneplease
konami ufo , they can still be found
Plz answer what psi should I use for my airbrushe
If it’s any help I use 20psi for mine, it’s an iwata neo cn
Looking for a reasonable Man from Uncle car at this time
Anyone know why this model is green and not grey as they were in the series?
It's one of those things that Dinky probably though the grey too drab and wanted to make it more like a tank. Worse was the colour of the interceptor being metallic green instead of white! dinkytvspace.com/dinky-353-shado-2/
Why was James Bond's DB5 gold and not silver? ...its a Dinky thing! LOL Seems, Dinky didn't like anything that was anywhere near the bare metal colour (gray, silver, etc)...and in those cases they opted for a different paint colour. (Hence the DB5 change from silver(metal) to gold)
what shop did u get the parts from please??
Hi
I get most of my parts from ACME 3000, Model Supplies and Toucan Toys
ACME 3000 : ebay.to/2StQd82
Model Supplies : ebay.to/31TFNRV
Toucan Toys : ebay.to/2wismPV
Audio all over the place. Couldn't hear your voice.
Cant hear u. That damn music :(
If it was me I wouldn't have restored it to the horrible og colour scheme. Seriously all those Gerry Anderson toys had dreadful colouring.
