Another well presented video PB, no annoying background music and plenty of hands on action, proper job.

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Kev, someone told me they missed the music lol, but I have had more people against it than for it. I appreciate the honest and constructive feedback.

@bigkeg9173 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely love it 👍 23:30

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank you BK. This one came as an extra in a box of cars I bought years ago, I didn't realise just how early a version it was until I was doing the history stuff on them.

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Asko! I know I haven't had any Mopar builds for a while, but I'm working on a Chrysler themed build at the moment, hope you had a great weekend too.

@jesterger 10 месяцев назад

Nice to know the history behind these cars. That turned out really well in the end. Even though the wind screen gave you a struggle.

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank You Gerry, Thought I'd wrecked the screen for a moment there.

@PBsRetroRestorations 8 месяцев назад

That's kind of you to say, I really liked how the paint came out, less so with the silver details, but I'm pleased with it overall.

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank you David, still not sure what the answer is to the 'cracking' of the colours along the fold lines is, but it looks nice on my shelf, thank you very much. If you'd ever like any of the carton files to make your own, just shoot me an email 😎

Rubber mallet knocking the wheels back on and no marks 😎👍

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank You Dave! You see, it's tips like this I need because I'm too simple to think of them myself, to make things worse I've actually GOT a rubber mallet and didn't think to use it 😔You must have cringed seeing me use the hammer 😂 That tip has come too late for the Renault Floride I'm working on, wait till you see what I resorted to to get those wheels back on 😳

very nice result and really liked the history at the start

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Stuart. I hope the history was reasonably accurate, I don't profess to be the world's greatest Corgi guru. I never really thought about how many variants there are out there.

@benvanwade1096 10 месяцев назад

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Michael! I've got started on the EJ! Question for you: Is the interior 'glued' to the glass piece from the factory? They did not want to separate for me....

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thanks and lol, we ALL saw it coming, I suspect folk would've been disappointed if it HADN'T broken off. It's up there with the Bond and Batmobile cars for longevity in the Corgi line.

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank you. I really liked the finish on the blue, I should have heated up the bumper but I didn't think it was bent that bad at first. Oh well, got there in the end.

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Terry, I've got just this one and an early RAF one from my Uncle's collection. Doing the history research has given me a new appreciation for them now.

@DisjointedConversations 10 месяцев назад

From one Peter to another I love your videos. The paint work on this car seemed to be exceptionally good. I did miss the talking though. Have a merry Christmas.

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Peter! The stream of consciousness style dribble / waffle will return, I wasn't sure if my talking put people off but it seems I was wrong. Except for the Tarzan screaming, that wasn't real popular 🤣 The shine on the paint really was better than usual, I wish I could nail down what causes the difference, sometimes it seems to be the colour, the humidity and sometimes nothing at all 🤷‍♂️ A Merry Christmas to you and yours also, hope you get some time for yourself and family.

In spite of what you think of your work, I think you did a great job! Even the detail work…. Anyway, I’m looking forward to the next two videos.

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank you Robert, that is very kind of you to say. I don't know why I'm so harsh on myself , I look at them sometimes and think 'someone is going to think this about it, I'd better say something about it first' Well next weeks video is all set to go, but I'm still trying to come up with stuff for the Christmas video, so don't get too excited 🤣

@frasermartin6728 9 месяцев назад

I don't know about you, but when you were straightening that front bumper, my buttocks were clenched! Great result and the captions on action and materials are really handy: nice one! Interestingly, the original Land Rover on which the 406 was based, was probably a 107", as seen on the doors and doortops, from the Series1: it morphed into a Series 2 later with a smoothing out of the door detail, but never got the original 5" sills, instead going straight to 2a sills, at 3". I'll just get my anorak...

@PBsRetroRestorations 9 месяцев назад

Man, it was like I know this is going to break, I know what I should be doing, and yet I still keep going and break it anyway >sigh< And thanks for the Landy info, that really is some hardcore detail noticing 🤣 But you know what? accuracy is accuracy and if you're going to bother at all, bother to get it right. Of course I don't follow this advice myself, but am happy to dispense it to others.

@neilcummings9939 10 месяцев назад

amazing vid this version was 1 of the 3 I liked the most of what you showed. the dark gray or black and the rcmp versions. not sure if these made it canada being a 77 baby but I'd they did they were unfortunately before my time. very cool casting. hope all is well

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Hi Neil, all is well here and I hope that it's the same for you and yours. I've got an RAF one in my Uncle Phil's collection, I like the early ones too. Not a big fan of the Whizwheel era myself.

@markoconnor1186 10 месяцев назад

Looks lovely,I like your relaxing voice,talk more,and no more tarzan screams please .

@PBsRetroRestorations 10 месяцев назад

Thank you very much Mark. Man, I really did question if the Tarzan bit was a good idea. I did it a couple of times, and it sounded stupid on both occasions, which seemed to fit so I left it in 🤣 BONUS TRIVIA: I had to reduce the volume mix on the scream or you would've REALLY hated it. No more screams, I promise 😊

@andysgaragediecastrestorations 3 месяца назад

Just watched this again since I have one on the bench for the DMC challenge- mines well corroded though

@PBsRetroRestorations 3 месяца назад

I reckon these Landys saw more sandpit work than most so I'm not surprised. I've got an RAF one with the tinplate canopy from my Uncle Phil's collection that's a bit that way, but I don't want to restore it.
