Thanks Martin. I remember looking at my Airfix kit, all the parts and instructions, and several times I tried starting to build it, but it was too tricky for my limited modelling skills. I still don't like building plastic kits! 😄 Good to hear that you got yours built. Have you still got it? I kept the box lid from mine, it's got a great picture on it.
Not mutch there of interest I was never really a fan of matchbox whizz wheel's to be honest dinky and corgis were mutch more realistic but I was curious what was in the parcel none the less. Cheers for posting. 👍
@davidmclellan5438 Agreed, it's not great, a lot of it is a bit crap, but I'll find a use for some of it. I probably didn't need to make a video of opening it, there's a lot of parcels I get that I don't film opening, because they aren't that interesting. I'm probably going to have a break from doing unboxing videos. I'll just stick to Corgi and Dinky, making less frequent videos of models that will be of interest to a wider audience.
Always interesting to see and be reminded of different vehicles, although in this collection, the Talbot was the most interesting to see, especially in a larger scale 👌😁 . .
Hi my name is Lee I love cars and enjoy your video's I was wandering would you like a dinky toys Austin A40 Devon for your scrap yard diorama as its already in barn find/weatherd look if you are interested please let me know regards Lee Ruddock
A better way to do this may be to take some thick tinfoil and copy the panel you want to dent then add the damage, once it’s dented or crushed cover the back in fast drying superglue - baking soda or Zip Kicker CA Accelerator dries it in seconds - and then add a layer of filler if that’s not enough, then cut out the metal part on the body with a hacksaw and glue the tinfoil one on. That way you can crush them to look properly accident damaged. If you paint the dent panel and rub at it you get the metal showing through the paint.
@CycolacFan That sounds amazing and definitely worth a try. Really good tip, thank you, much appreciated. I might have a go and see how I get on with it.
they are some really cool cars . ive never seen those before . im in the states i collect hot wheels . really enjoyed seeing these corgis.. cant wait to see more.
@tommy9900 Thanks so much for watching. I think these old Dinky and Corgi cars are great. I'm so glad you liked seeing them too. I'll keep doing videos of any more old diecast cars I get, watch this space! 👍
Great scrapyard its looks realistic from when I was young i used to go to our local yard and buy the badges of certain cars a morris minor badge was my pride and joy .thanks for letting us see your model 😀👍
@davidmclellan5438 Thanks so much. I used to love scrapyards when I was young too. I had a small collection of car badges as well. Shame those places are all gone now. 😔 Glad you enjoyed the video. 👍
Yes it was a bit. Probably because the schools hadn't broken up for the summer yet. Worked out well for me, I got about 16 rides in at the Pleasure Beach, 5 of those on the old wooden rollercoaster! 😃
Really nice selection of vehicles, the roller is great, and the monta is another good one ,we can have a chat about the paint on that one .excellent video
@martindaredare Thanks Martin. I might have a go at the paint myself on the Montiverdi, but it's not something I'm confident doing well. I'm looking forward to tackling the corrosion on the Rolls, I really like that one too.
That's looking pretty neat and is getting better with every viewing. Mind you, there are some salvageable castings in there, so you are sitting on a wee pile of valuable scrap! Great fun and terrific effort: love it! It needs a bad dog, a scruffy bastard and a tractor with spikes on the front!
Thanks! I deliberately haven't damaged any castings for that very reason. The scrapyard would look even more realistic with crash damaged and dented up cars, but I don't want to do that, so they could still be restored in future. There's a couple of crushed and damaged cars, but that's it. I'm keeping an eye out for any extra details I can add to it. 👍
The scrap yard looks really good bob,lots of interesting stuff, and you can have a bit of fun.scrap yards were dangerous places back in the day . Loving the wall art ,that mercury front end is brilliant. All the best Martin
I think there's 2 long bolts at the back, and 2 at the front. Undoing those 4 bolts should release the bodyshell. The first dodgem I had was just the shell. But this one was a complete car. However, it was missing the seat, steering wheel and the rubber bumper tyre, and so I only wanted the bodyshell. When I collected it from the fairground yard where I bought it from, they had already taken the bodyshell off the car for me. But it still has 2 long bolts at the back that are mounted into the fibreglass shell at the top. I think the front is the same. So, one bolt at each corner. I hope this helps.
Some real gems in that box you did well I've never seen the Basil brush car before lovely piece of nostalgia. As previous comment junkers plane had bomb which worked with a cap great fun i remember that one thanks for posting 👍😀
Thanks for watching. I'm going to get the canopy and propeller for the Junkers and get it looking really nice hopefully. I'm amazed it still had the bomb with it.
The bomb on the German Dinky plane is spring loaded as it was designed to take a single 'cap' from a cap gun so that it made a 'BANG!' on hitting the floor.
Hi 👋 I had a collection of Dinky's in my childhood in the 1960s. I remember owning a Mini in red with a black roof. It's doors opened and it had jewelled headlights. It was an automatic because it was written on the back. I also had a Volkswagen Beetle in blue. Doors opened and bonnet and boot.
Hi, that's great. I think the Dinky and Corgi toys from the 1960s are the best. So well detailed with working features. So much better than diecast toys these days. Thanks so much for watching.
Hi i have just started watching your videos i love the idea of the scrap yard dierama i have a barn find condition dinky toys Austin A40 Devon if you would like it for your scrapyard dierama its £5 kind regards Lee Ruddock
