The best 3D printer resin. I don't have money or time to figure out what is the best resin, but this guy does. I have now moved exclusively to Siraya Tech resins, and they are certainly the best I have used.

Hi, Timo! A valiant effort on this toy. It was so completely trashed, it took all of your considerable talents to bring it to where it ended up. Printing the parts is still a mystery to me, and I'm not sure about how the details and proportions work. It's great to have your voice and presence back on You-Tube. I enjoy your work very much! Best, Stephen

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thank you Steppoify. By the way, I love your logo, or whatever they call it.

Outstanding, Timo!👏🏻👍🏻✊🏻 What a great way to wake up of a Saturday morning. Basket case to beautiful in 20 minutes 😁
Oh, well..... Off to work. Be seeing you 👌🏻

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks Septic 🚽. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Expert level work, Timo. All of the replacement pieces you made were spot on. The end result is something to be proud of. Very impressive restoration. That's a Lucerne Switzerland license plate. And Ursula Andress is Swiss. Some Bond trivia! 🍁☕🇨🇭👍

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks Andrew. The license plate number was actually one of the plates from Bond's rotating DB5 plates. But I suppose Lucerne has a certain "je ne se quois". Parden my French.

[@rodgerkelly]

Nice restoration! Did you consider filling/covering over the hollow back on the front seats?

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks Rodger. I didn't worry about too many details, like the hollow behind the seats, because on this one, I wanted to go for a traditional restoration, with minimal detailing. That's why I didn't even paint the interior. I figured the many parts I had to reproduce was enough work. Cheers

[@rodgerkelly]

@@timosdinkydetailing Fair call!

[@robertdragoff6909]

At first I thought you were going to fix up a James Bond Aston Martin, but when you said it was a convertible, I knew it wasn’t THE Aston Martin!
But it’s okay since it was interesting to see you salvage another Dinky Die cast.

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks Robert. I did, sort of, make it a Bond DB5, by putting one of the rotating number plates from Bond's car on it.
If you want to see the Bond, Corgi version of the Aston Martin DB5, I did one recently at

Cool

[@diecastflashback]

Great job Tim, I just got a 3D printer, one of my kids was tired of it, I haven't made anything yet maybe you can give me some pointers. You are the 3D daddy, lol. Later Don✌️😎

[@timosdinkydetailing]

Thanks Don. For some free sources of printable items, I suggest Thingiverse. You can find a lot of cool things to print, including my designs for Dinky parts. I also strongly recommend Siraya Tech resins, particularly "Simple". They are easier to print with than any other resins I have tried, and will save a lot of headaches. Cheers
