Wasn't sure what to think when you started removing pieces off the body but WOW it turned out awesome! Great resto-mod. It looks like this is another version of this truck that Matchbox created from the factory. Great work! Thanks for sharing!
As soon as I saw the pen marks I knew which car transporter you were going for. It looks fantastic, superb results and I doubt anyone can call it damaged or ruined because of what it has become
Looks smashing Tony, much nicer than the stock original truck. It's a lot easier working on the larger scale diecasts, I loved doing the restos on my trucks. Better late than never, fab work 🤘
My initial reaction to your plan was to tut and roll my eyes. But what a result. It looks magnificent. It has a touch of the Ecurie Ecosse about it... well done.
Wow !! What a transformation. I would say that's a more interesting model than the original and, quite possibly, the best of the "shop trucks" that I've seen. Maybe just a little busy with the decals and the back number plate's maybe a bit iffy.☺ The blue looks awesome. I thought you might have gone with bare metal for the corrugated bit on the front but that might have made the headlights "disappear".What about some chevrons/long vehicle decals on the rear door, would add a splash of contrasting colour? Your butchery of the metal came out perfectly, looks like a factory casting. The only other things I might add would be some sort of beacon/light bar and a big set of chrome air-horns. All in all, a superb job - you should be right proud of it. All the Best from sunny(ish) Plockton, Dougie.
all great ideas, I actually did a facepalm when I realised I printed the numberplate too big, and paintwork is a bit patchy close up because it was rushed.
Great video I remember I loved playing with this model when I was a child when I would go round my grandparents house and play with my dad's old cars, my other favourites were the dinky merry weather fire engine with working fire hose and the dinky tow truck.
First, dude. I love the trucks. I really really like the color of this one. I was wondering how you were going to fix the back door, but I guess you did.
Je m'abonne. 👍 Tes vidéos sont vraiment sympathiques et j'adore ce que tu fais. 👏👏👏 Je collectionne des Ferrari 1/18 de mon côté et je fais aussi des vidéos de musées, salons, et rassemblements. Abonne-toi à ma chaîne. 🙂
Awesome transformation.
WOW!!, what an amazing custom, great paint and color.

Tony that's some of your best work yet. The paint makes the van look much more modern and I love the TDR decals.

Glad you liked it, I have just gotten two more of these. I will restore one and do a custom on the other.
