labour of love! Excellent job!
G day Nick WOW that turned out great I have a car transporter to do but its a bit more modern than that one it's a Husky ford D series. All I can hope is it turns out as good as yours. I love your show and look forward to each episode.👍 Stay safe mate and keep up the good work.🚗🚓🚕🛺🚙🚌🚐🚎🚑🚒🚚🚛🚜🚘🚔🚖🚍
Thank you Geoff, I’ve been looking at those Husky Ford d series transporters on eBay, they are quite nice models but not got one yet, good luck with yours😊👍
Great job Nick you've inspired me to start restoring Dinky's myself thanks David👍
Thank you David, that’s cool, it’s a great hobby, very addictive and time consuming though😉👍
Lovely job, Nick, they are not an easy renovation. I suffered all the pit falls myself when I did mine. Worth all the hard work though.
Thank you Chris, I think drilling out the four rivets in the trailer was the most difficult bit, trying to drill straight and not go too far especially on the front ones!
G' day Nick Thank you for the video beautiful resto cant wait to get me hands on one myself
O that is a really classic. Bedford OB cab to boot
Impressive Nick, like your posh new paint booth..
Hi Nick. Fantastic retoration on the transporter. I have just purchased one but I am a newbie [more like and oldie really] to Dinky restoration so I was wondering what paint you used for this one. I have found one called sky blue on ebay that seems quite close. But I wondered what you used? If you don't mind sharing?
Many Thanks, Roger
Hi Roger and thank you, the blue paint I used was holts acrylic car paint but it had no colour name or code on the spray can, I just went by the colour of the cap, it isn’t quite the right shade of blue, slightly darker but not too far off, the brown was Humbrol dark brown, number 29 in a spray can, again not quite the right colour but not too noticeable.
Hope this helps, all the best, Nick.
@@crapaudnicksdiecastrenovat1739 Thanks for the information Nick. I will go by the colour on the can as you did. Just got to find something suitable. I'm saving my restoration of the transporter until I have finished some Jaguar XK120's I purchased recently. They are my practice pieces. One has some pitting on the roof and the sides that have not covered with my Hycote primer. I am hoping it will sand to a good finish. We shall see. Thanks again, Roger
Nicely done my friend turned out beautiful!
Thank you😊
Top job Nick. I think that one would have scared me too much to attempt, but you managed it in style. It now looks the business.
Big up to Mrs. Nick as well, that is a top birthday present! I reckon she is a keeper! lol
Thank you Pete, it’s not too bad a model to do, Our Martin Dare did the difficult one, hats off to him all those fiddly pins and parts to put together!
The Mrs deffo a keeper, couldn’t be without her👌😊
Hi Nick. Discoloured carrier film can often be 'cured' by leaving the decal in direct sunlight. The inks usually don't fade but the film does return to clear... loving your work.
Thank you for your comment, that is worth knowing about the decals, I will definitely try that, cheers for that😊👍
Hi Nick another great video your love for the bedfords really shows. I liked seeing the two together at the end to compare the paint finish and the cars on the back. All the best from Ian & family.
Thank you Ian, hope you and your Family are all well, stay safe, all the best, Nick.
Now that was a lot of work! Can't believe you did two! Excellent job, just like new. Keep safe buddy.
Thank you, the second one was a bit easier than the first, I kind of knew a bit better what to expect....more or less lol! Take care and keep safe, Nick.
I've just watched this video again Nick. At the beginning you described it as a 4 rivet model, unfortunately not the 6 rivet version. Can I ask you please why you say, "unfortunately" not the 6 rivet version? Is the 6 rivet model better in some way, or easier to restore? I'm curious. 😁
I've got 3 of these Bedford car transporters, one is original and in near mint condition. The other 2 have been painted (badly) so need restoring. Like yours they're 4 rivet models but the bases are light blue, not brown like yours. Does this make them earlier or later than yours? Was the 6 rivet model an early or later version?
Both of yours that you showed looked super restorations, it was a very enjoyable video. All the best. Peter.
Hi Peter, the 6 rivet ones are more valuable if you have a good unrestored one, I think they were earlier models, I guess once you have restored it it doesn’t make a lot of difference as you will have devalued it anyway, I think the all light blue ones are earlier models but I can’t be one hundred percent sure on that, the ones with the dark blue cabs are the later ones.
Take care, all the best, Nick.
A little tip for you, when using waterslide decals, use a wet sponge it keeps the decals from curling up.
Hello Nick hope you and your family are well great restoration as always.you can get paint on e
Bay and e models and Steve flowers . You may be able to get rattle cans on e bay as well . Great job not a easy one to do look s. like new
Thank you Glyn, I have tried before more than once to get paint on eBay but they won’t ship it to Jersey, I know they won’t send it by plane but not sure why it couldn’t come by boat not sure why it seems to be such a problem as the shops and stores manage to get their paint! I guess it’s worth having another try.
Hi nick excellent work mate , look at you with the new spray booth, 😀😀 nice one , I did close my eyes when you were digging out the front radiator I was hoping you didn't snap a light off.
A lot of work but well worth it.
I had to laugh when I just uploaded my video, I saw yours and said to the wife he's done it again he's done it again, we need to work on communication 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I will be struggling to get paint soon myself.
Take care my friend.
Cheers Martin, great minds think alike again😂😂 just watched your video, your model turned out absolutely stunning, a lot more work than mine, the pullmore is a bit more basic and straight forward than your carrimore.
I have a couple like yours to do at some stage so I was very interested in how you went about doing yours, but I think I might hold off for a while, get a bit more practice in on other stuff first lol !
Stay safe, all the best, Nick.
Now come on nick ,you can do it, if I can iam bloody sure you can you have lots of talent .👍👍
Enjoyed this one, looked like a lot of work. The result was good. I have one of these but not sure if I am going to restore it or keep it as it is. Stay safe.
Thank you, sometimes it is hard to decide weather a model needs doing or not, if I buy any models I usually try to get very shabby ones or ones that have been over painted so there’s no question as to weather or not to do it!
Take care and stay safe, Nick.
Hi nick 👋 fantastic your really good at it 👍 I love what your doing , keep up the good work and take care of yourself , Brian
Thank you Brian, you take care too and keep safe😊
Nice work mate stay safe ps Nice spray booth
Thank you Brian, stay safe too, all the best, Nick.
♥CRAPAUD NICK'S DIECAST RENOVATIONS.
Really enjoyed your video ,brilliant, does this transporter use the same Bedford casting for the cab as the Refuse Truck you did recently as it has a slot for the winding gear Thanks Keep Safe
Hi Mick, thank you and yes it’s the same casting, I believe all the variations have the same casting.
Stay safe, all the best, Nick.
Very nice restoration Nick that base of the trailer looked a bit of a pig to strip down 😄 great job though bud and happy belated birthday mate I need to get my wife to watch this to inspire her to get me one of those booths lol
Thank you, lol yes you need to show your Mrs so she knows what to get you lol, mind you, mine still gets fed up with me when I’m doing my models😳😉
CRAPAUD NICK'S DIECAST RENOVATIONS. Lol I know that headache , the Land Rover I done last took a fair bit of time and she was always wanting me for something at crucial times I tell you their timing is priceless lol
Cracking Video- really enjoyed it. Interesting set up with the spray booth and I like what you did with that hose as I am reluctant to drill a hole in my external wall to get the hose through! What make is the spray booth? Take care in this Lockdown.
Thank you Malcolm, the spray booth is model number HS-E420DCLK, if you google that number it will come up. You still get a strong paint smell with the way I have it, but you don’t get the spray paint particles going everywhere, you also need plenty air holes in the tub the pipe goes into not to put too much strain on the fan motor, as long as the holes are covered with some sort of sponge or filter like material. I only use it if the weather prevents me from painting outside.
Hope this helps😊👍
Stay safe, take care, all the best, Nick.
@@crapaudnicksdiecastrenovat1739 Many thanks for the reply and info
Just thinkin when you had the main uppr deck stripped out,it looked like it could make a low loader.
Just if ya did one in Army Green and put some Land rovers or tanks on it.
Not a bad idea that, need to look out for another old scrappy one😊👍
Can I ask where you got the dome headed rivots from. I've got one of these I was about to do but was putting it off till I could find these little bits. Great build as usual 👍
Thank you! 😊 I bought the rivets on eBay, if you type..... 50 x 2.5mm SOLID AS ORIGINAL BASEPLATE RIVETS - DINKY CORGI SPOT ON ETC+ DRILL......into the search box on eBay it should come up! Hope this helps.
All the best, Nick.
Thanks nick I'll have a mooch and see if I can find them 👍👍
Hey Nick,can't help but notice ya seem bit down.
It is a nasty time but it will all pan out.
You're restorations are massively inspiring and I have spent a few Bob acquiring some tin orphans as I call them to keep things going.
Thumbs down are just the numpties that unfortunately poo poo whatever people are trying to do to,inject some comfort and peace and real Art into this injured World.
Never mind them.
You voice is like Peter Gabriel's.
Thoughts are with you all on
The Island.
Regards,Tommy in Dublin.
Hi Tommy thanks for your nice comments, it is a worrying time for all of us, it’s cool you are collecting, it’s a great hobby but very addictive and can get expensive especially when you get carried away on eBay lol!
Take care, stay safe and best wishes, Nick.
@@crapaudnicksdiecastrenovat1739
Thanks Nick,it is a somewhat addictive hobby.
I just feel that by restoring these lovely toys it's paying homage to the people who went to work in Liverpool and Wales manufacturing the very toys and it was their income to feed and educate their own children and have their own holidays and of course Hobbies.
It's in a way giving back.
A Toy never retires it would seem.
I have beenrooting on eBay for the projects and it's the postage n shipping to where I am in Dublin that throws me a bit.
Bob Willis is having a trying time with his Partner unwell but gosh,he gets sent some bloody cracking good toys to restore.
I've just bagged a couple of Daimler's Ambulance from same seller,I haggled him a wee bit on the postage and we agreed on circa £20.
I do a little customising on my toys,purely painting in the many wonderful details you find in relief on the castings.
Hope to show you a few finished toys in the future.
The ole tyres are expensive aren't they?
I only started the hobby late last summer.
You might check out M.K. model supplies for spares and re casts,he's in Norway,good prices.
Steve Flowers is not in trade
like everything bar the grocers.
Greatful we got food,water and a roof over our heads and... Some nice little tin orphans needing some paint and refurbishment.
Best regards to you n yours.
Tommy🙏😁
Hope your doing well Nick. Whose a lucky boy to have a missus who adds to your hobby. This looks like a bugger of a model to unassemble /reassemble . I think a concave nail punch would have helped with the wheels. The people who produce these reproduction pieces have a lot to answer for, I'd command a refund if they are faulty. They need to learn people wont pay for deficient parts. Even with all your troubles on this one very nice result.
Thank you Walter, yes I was a bit cheesed off with that tailboard ramp, the other one I had for the other model was perfect.
I hope you are alright my friend, you looked a bit down there.
Take care and stay safe and keep up the good work!
Hi yes I’m fine thanks, I was just trying to keep my voice down as my Mrs had just got home from work, she usually thinks I’m talking to her and comes and asks me what I said whilst I’m still recording, I didn’t realize I looked and sounded so miserable till I looked back at the video lol!
With the water slide decals, do you mean to put them on a wet sponge rather than straight in water? I have just finished next weeks video but I had a few problems again with one of the decals, I guess me and water slide decals are not very compatible 🤦🏻♂️Lol!
You and your Family take care, stay safe too, best wishes, Nick.
@@crapaudnicksdiecastrenovat1739 regarding the decals, if you put a sponge into a container f water, the sponge soaks up the water and you just keep the sponge in the container with the water and put your decals on the sponge and it's a lot easier than fishing around for them in the water and they don't curl👍
Ok cool, thank you for that, I will do that from now on😊👍
