started restoring diecasts around 12 years ago and after watching marty , timerider , etc etc decided to join the fun , my original interests were corgi , although today I just enjoy the scene for all its differing directions , such as modifying , searching for items , learning new skills and trial and error experimenting , not intending to compete as initially only intend to post occasional videos but I hope to go a different direction than others in that i'm not intending on concentrating on just resoration but rather the idea of being a magazine of a channel covering differing aspects of the hobby email loosingmyrag@yahoo.com facebook pimp my diecasts .. leave a comment on a vid incase it goes into my spam area cheers paul model-supplies.co.uk/
That was awesome I was wondering if I could use Play-Doh to make molds to save money you just showed me how thank you so much for sharing gave me lots of ideas
Noice. The Go Pros are a good idea, because you can get the angles without the cameras getting in the way - I might think about that! I'm not doing videos at all because I am crap with the tech, but you may have opened a Pandora's Box!
Very nice, Pimpy. Your paint jobs always get my creative juices flowing. I usually do straight up, restorations. But I think I'll have to buy some Createx paint and let my hair down.
Nice build paul. you can make a warm box with light buld in tin then, put the model on the side and put over it. with card board box, As i did with in dark room doing black and white photographs.
I crushed that thumbs up button on your upload. Remarkable creation, Pimp My Diecasts ( Diecast and Toy Restorations ). Continue to keep the awesome work. Eager see your next one from you.
Salut Paul, la restauration de cette Corvette est trop bien. Le rouge candy est superbe et les chromes recouvert d'un jus noir aussi. Bonne continuation !!
Excellent paint and weathering, I like it rough, like that. You usually end up paying a bit extra for it though. Is that the theme from Kelly's Heroes? Nice touch.
Brilliant Paul, none of us will ever be able to hear Men at Work the same ever again. Amazing transformation, thank you for getting involved, colour is awesome.
What a cracking, transformation. That was one of the best years for Corvettes. One of my teachers had one. Still has it as far as I know. Captain Australia will be proud of your work.
Jeez, man, those starter casting sets were unbelievably crap! Getting ANYTHING out of that was a miracle. Love the Mrs Doyle references, too! You might well have the noisiest bloody drill this side of a North Sea Platform, but the story is good! Scotsman? Round? Why do you think we never wear maroon ties in a pub? Fab result!
Loved the set up with the scale characters - the concept is unique! Those girls know too much! A Pierre! Excellent! The Riviera is a terrific choice of model to restore: they were wonderful cars in 1:1 - your 1:43 is sweet!
Another trick paint job, Pimpy. It looks pretty nice. The Riviera was a great luxury car but they had a 454 CID engine so if you put your foot into it, hang on!
That first couple remind me of the Munsters Coach. Don't get me wrong, I love your Shaky Hands Shed videos but you are entirely too serious in them. Make more diecast videos and cut loose!
