Always a pleasure to watch you work your magic on these fascinating toys that have captivated my imagination since receiving my first Corgi 261 back in 65/66 timeframe. What a toy for a 9-year-old kid who grew up around sports cars and motor sports. I cherish my small collection of Corgi Bond cars, which I have proudly displayed in an old English curio cabinet from the 30's. Cheers from Northern California! Stewart
Bob. Another great video. Really useful to have the information on the screws. I did not know about pitch. Keep up the great work. It's nice to see the toys of my childhood brought back to life.
Hi Bob, good to see you again. Those 2 Bond cars turned out great, as usual, it was a good thing you put screws in the bottom this time, could have been nasty. Good call on that. All good in the end. Thanks for taking us on the Winkle hunt, it looked like it was a good one. Hope you and the Mrs had a good feast. Cheers Robert
Hi Bob, just discovered your videos and I can't stop watching them! New to collecting corgis and about to start my first restoration. Keep up the great work!
You lucky bu**er Bob, what a beautiful place to live, and as always two lovely restorations as the Aston Martin’s get a new lease of life, I hope you and your Mrs are well and and enjoyed your winkles.
Hi Bob,Great to see you out and about at 7am ,also liked how you made a nice catch for breakfast. What better than one James Bond Aston Martin, two James Bond Aston Martin's.I love this restoration video.My first James Bond movie I watched as a child in the local theatre was Gold Finger. Every movie I think I have seen since of James Bond.Great to see you looking relaxed at the beach first thing in the morning. Thanks for yourvideo Bob.
Thought I had the wrong video there at first!....Winkles and Corgies , nice combo! l 🙄......as usual a very good job on what is a fiddly ( not for beginners) Corgi restoration..
Welcome back Bob! Hubby and I were so happy to see you up and about! Thank you so much for bringing us along on your search for the winkles - it was great to see your neck of the woods. Love these two cars and the job you did on them! Be safe and well, you and Mrs. Bob. :D
No problem, I’ve got to look forward to some more backache and knee aches now cause I’ve eaten em all so gotta go back and pick up some more sometime when the tide is right again 😄
@@BobWilliscorgi lol reading this put a huge smile on my face. speaking of which, you looked happy as a clam (no pun intended) being outdoors, i think it's a great idea to go back for more of those winkles! :D
Great double restoration Bob, I have one to do but it’s missing a few bits, but it was very good to see all the working parts in your models, now I know what to expect. As always you have done a superb job on both of these models, they look brand new, and great idea to polish the rear shields, they do look the business! Nice to see you taking time out to go winkling, I used to love low water fishing, not been for about 20 years but we used to go out for about 3 miles with the tractor and trailer on our south east coast and walk another mile or so further out, but it’s quite dangerous here as the rise and fall of the tide is very big and it comes int extremely fast, many people been cut off and drowned over the years. My favourite are the welks, I love to pickle them, gorgeous 👌😉😊 All the best to you and Mrs Bob, take care, Nick.
I love the winkles but cockles are the best , trouble is you got to know where to look for them! Only managed to find about 12 lying on top but they were bloody nice 😋
Hi Bob, Couldn't believe you were crossing the tracks in Starcross. We spent many a happy holiday in Dawlish when my kids were tiny, happy memories of the ferry to Exmouth. Anyway, you've inspired me to get into this hobby and I finished my first Corgi 360 Eagle Freighter this summer after watching you do it first! Bought a donor model from ebay and now I need to do that one too. But it was originally that weird green colour 🤔 so I'm looking for the right paint. Hope the winkles were good mate, lotsa love from Kent xxx
And Bob, I give you name check in my first and only restoration video. th-cam.com/video/Dx-HTnxZm7M/w-d-xo.html thx for the inspiration and all the chill out moments watching you work. Lotsa love from Kent
About time you got your winked out mate does Mrs Bob know 😂😂😂😂,at first I thought I had the wrong channel a GWR 165 unit I thought no Bob switching to model railways ,great video enjoy and don’t be ‘Shellfish’ 😂all the best my friend Mark 👍🏻😊
@@BobWilliscorgi LOVE the intro Bob & your Bond restos are always among my favorites to watch. So...tell me...how do you prepare Winkles & do ya' enjoy them with a pint? I've never eaten them before. It's great to see you out & about. Best regards, "Ben in Mexico" :-)
Welcome back! I was starting to worry! I'm not one for the action cars, honestly, but those two look pretty good! Good job, as usual! Nice to see you can get out and about again!
Ive restored the goldfinger version and the silver version with the revoving numberplates and wheel drills the silver vwrsion i used a self tapper from an old audio cassette the rivet post is very narrow on this model so you have to get it dead centre ive started a resto of the austin a 60 driving school car and ive used caustic soda in a jam jar you can see the paint coming off
corgi bob on location thought is was the intro to a blockbuster movie then train spotting and finally bob on the beach, hope you picked a perfect packet of winkles on the intro shots should have worn a pair of shoes of the same name if you have a pair does anyone wear them now ?. great double that didn/t cause much trouble slight difference in the style of the 2 sets of whizwheels maybe from different years . take care mate regards ian.
Nice to get out in the fresh air at last Bob. It's a nice part of the country your at. Are there still bits of the "atmospheric train" at that location by the signals? Great work on the Aston.
Ah ! Double O Heaven ! It's great to see you out Bob ! Is that behind Powderham ? Hope you had a good day picking your Winkle ! Best regards to you both .Take care !
No mate the 271 versions never had them fitted as they only came with the later moulded plastic whizzwheels so no hollow rear axles fitted unlike the 270, out of the 3 versions made being the 261, 270 and 271, only the 270 did ` sorry .
Hi John the paint I used was just a basic Silver from Trago Mills called “ Silver wheel trim paint” it’s quite a big can and was fairly reasonable priced at just £2.75 a tin👍
Hi Bob,I am thinking of getting a tap and die set for diecast restoration.what particular manufacturer and set would you recommend?Thank you. Really enjoy your videos very informative.

Hi Bob,
Couldn't believe you were crossing the tracks in Starcross. We spent many a happy holiday in Dawlish when my kids were tiny, happy memories of the ferry to Exmouth.
Anyway, you've inspired me to get into this hobby and I finished my first Corgi 360 Eagle Freighter this summer after watching you do it first!

Good to see the Astons,my grandad liked pennywinks made a sandwich of them,hope you enjoyed them.
Certainly did Steve, gonna have to pick up a few more now! 😄

hello bob two belters there and some nice winkles
Like. Corgi Aston Martin cars
Didnt know you had legs Bob ha great video
Yeah not very nice ones though mate 😂👍
Welcome back! I was starting to worry!
I'm not one for the action cars, honestly, but those two look pretty good! Good job, as usual!
Nice to see you can get out and about again!
Watch out for the geese!
Like corgi 271 James Bond Aston Martin double ok
Nice Bob the 271 seem relativley straight forwrd compared to the 261 and 270 aston martins. Enjoy the winkles 😁

Well Bob, winkling at Cockwood, lmao
Ah ! Double O Heaven ! It's great to see you out Bob ! Is that behind Powderham ? Hope you had a good day picking your Winkle ! Best regards to you both .Take care !
Just down the road from there mate 😉👍
24:58 you put it in upside down Bob. Doh.!!!
The roof would drive me mad I’d have to get it level somehow so it closes flush.
How, bent the metal spring tiny bit?
Think this & the 270 both had tyre shredders in the back wheels
No mate the 271 versions never had them fitted as they only came with the later moulded plastic whizzwheels so no hollow rear axles fitted unlike the 270, out of the 3 versions made being the 261, 270 and 271, only the 270 did ` sorry .
@@BobWilliscorgi cheers Bob. No worries. Thanks for setting the record straight
hi Bob big fan could you tell me where you got look from paint from you using in this model
Hi John the paint I used was just a basic Silver from Trago Mills called “ Silver wheel trim paint” it’s quite a big can and was fairly reasonable priced at just £2.75 a tin👍
@@BobWilliscorgi was it HYCOTE make ???
Hi Bob,I am thinking of getting a tap and die set for diecast restoration.what particular manufacturer and set would you recommend?Thank you.
Really enjoy your videos very informative.
Sorry Paul but I'm no expert on tap & dye sets , I just look on ebay for the cheapest ! Lol
Another great resto. Shame about the decals. Industrial scale theft on the cockle beds here in Kent. Nobody gets charged, nobody seems to care.
The table is not level :-)
Why so ugly wheels?
The model is really well done but not wheel done! ;-)
