Nice restoration Martin, I found those side decals were very delicate when applying mine.

[@martindaredare]

Cheers Kevin, yes thay were a bit thin ,but odd that the 2 long ones were stickers .

[@PlayApps2Day]

Awesome job Martin. I have never seen that Corgi before.

[@martindaredare]

There's a few about on ebay now and again. Worth getting one if you can. All the best Martin

[@marksinthehouse1968]

You’ve got for it’s time a really nice model ,a BMMO midland red C5 motor way coach I think introduced to use the then new M1 in pre Barbara castle days they flew up and down between London and Birmingham,I drove a brand new enviro400 MMC not so long ago between Stanmore and Luton on rail replacement 68 mph in a double decker on the M1 that’s plenty fast 😂😂
All the best mate
Mark 😊😊

[@martindaredare]

Awesome restoration Martin. I like this model very much. Best regards Paul👍

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Paul it means a lot my friend, all the best Martin

[@davidwelch6796]

What a lovely transformation. The grey seats are a big improvement. If you ever swap the glass you might want to redo the front number plate as well, unless its a nod to our Australian friends. . .

[@martindaredare]

🤣🤣 number plate is now the right way up ,it's because iam a wally and didn't check it .
Glad you liked it 👍

[@andysgaragediecastrestorations]

BMMO CM5T!Built at Midland Red's Carlyle works these travelled over 70 mph on the M1,when it first opened. Nice resto,Martin.

[@marksinthehouse1968]

Smashed that one pal

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Nigel.i appreciate it my friend

[@MapleLeafCustoms]

Another beautiful restoration, Martin. You’re truly very skilled at this. Strangely, I’ve got a bus on the bench right now too. Started wth a brand new casting (I never saw this Corgi in my search) and I’m turning into what you began with. I’m going for a post-apocalyptic rolling mess. Weird how our hobby takes these different turns! 🍁☕👍

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Andrew, I appreciate it my friend, and I look forward to seeing another exciting and well built futuristic model from your good self ,though iam a bit behind on watching videos, I still have your double casting of the Mercedes to watch .all the best Martin

[@geoffmower8729]

Hi mate I see your getting BUS-Y get it. 😁 Bus Oh never mind.😝 I love the colour combination and the decals bring it to life. Yet another way of fixing the base on that I have never seen before. I see the old Biscoff biscuits there on the desk, I looked here in Aus to see if they made those Bush biscuits I told you about but NO they stopped making them years ago.😥 Just as well they were a bit hard on the toothy pegs, definitely needed dunking. I hope the barbie went well and the weather turned out ok. It's been brass monkey weather here at night went down to 0 last night Brrrrrr.🥶 Catch you on the next one mate.👍🏻\

[@martindaredare]

Hi Geoff, glad you liked it my friend and don't give up your day job 😀.
The biscoffs are a must for restoring thay have a multitude of uses, apart from dunking.
The barbecue went down a treat and the weather was in our faver .
Keep warm old son .
See you next week

[@frasermartin6728]

Quite a mixed bag of processes there, with the stickers, decals and two-toning: looks simple enough until you get started, eh? Nice result, though, Martin, and a great candidate for the shelving! Nice one! Great finish on the paint! Grey interior much more convincing, too, I think.
Now, are the Biscoff references a hint? Should we all be sending them?

[@martindaredare]

Thanks Fraser, the interior is definitely better in the grey ,good all round colour.
The biscoffs are a must when restoring and modelling thay have a multitude of uses 😉.
All the best Martin d

[@LaziLowcollectables]

Looks fantastic Martin,this is the reason you've never sent me the glass for my bus. What's with the posh accent? "I don't know " 🤣🤣🤣 nice details ,lovely finish

[@martindaredare]

Cheers laz ,yes unfortunately as you can see both windows were damaged and it wasn't worth sending you a damaged one ,when I get one with a good one I will send it ,only the best for you laz
