Commer 2500 Holiday Camp Special Bus. Renovation of Corgi Toys model no. 508.

The model I am renovating today was manufactured by Corgi for two years. I had a very incomplete copy, but I decided to make the missing parts in resin based on the molds I made based on the twin model called Commer Camera Van. It was also sold by Corgi and I made the decals that were missing and was very surprised that the original lettering on the car was only on one side, but the door flags were on both sides. I also made a copy of the original box to make my design complete. Thank you for watching the video, I publish car repair videos on Tuesdays and Saturdays. You can turn on subtitles in your language with commentary on the activity in the video.

Questo è uno dei restauri più belli che hai fatto. Sei partito da una base in condizioni disastrose e hai realizzato un piccolo gioiello. Come sempre, alta qualità del restauro, manualità esemplare e originalità nelle tecniche e nelle scelte progettuali. Tra tutte, l' idea del portapacchi sul tetto è spettacolare. Ancora una volta vivissimi complimenti! PS: non conoscevo questo modello, mai visto

[@PaulRestorer]

Grazie mile Pirata

Another outstanding restoration Paul!!! Thanks for sharing your work with us. I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that has issues with mold release NOT releasing when making RTV molds! Not sure what you have available in your area, but a mixture of mineral spirits and petroleum jelly (Vaseline here in the States) makes a much better mold release than spray silicone. Keep up the outstanding work!

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

Mucho trabajo, mucho conocimiento de materiales y habilidad para sacarles provecho, y un modelo hermoso. Como siempre, el plus final está en los detalles, que le dan veracidad al metal, la pintura y los sintéticos.Valieron la pena esas horas de trabajo, el original era interesante y tu versión renovada lo hizo más importante aún. Una belleza que debe tener un lugar de lucimiento en tu colección personal.

I've watched most of your flee market Videos. If possible could you add a clip of you picking it up, if you can remember where and if you videoed it. Probably a difficult thing to do though.

[@PaulRestorer]

this is quite a difficult thing because I shoot these videos with a phone which has problems with focusing when there is a sudden change. Sometimes I have to move quite quickly if I like the model very much. That's why I don't always manage to get a shot with the models I buy.

[@roberttemple8462]

Great job Paul. Just a quick question, what is it that you spray through the airbrush after painting please?

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much, after painting, I clean the airbrush with acrylic paint thinner

[@caronte93jd]

Compa, que tipo de resina usa. La que he encontrado es totalmente transparente 😢

[@PaulRestorer]

Actualmente estoy usando resina FC 68, es una resina de poliuretano.

[@alessiobenbourahel5739]

how and\or where did you find the original box?

[@kjamison5951]

The artwork can be found on-line. Some folks will sell a digital file with many scanned originals. With some practice, old scanned originals can be retouched in graphics software, to remove any blemishes. They can be printed on semi glossy card using an inkjet or a laser printer. For the ultimate look, a printing company that take a digital file for a single print can be used. I typically use 600dpi as the resolution but for higher detail, I use 1200dpi.

[@dejanmilovanovic1281]

hast denn sticker auf der anderenseite vergessen oder gehört da nur einer?

im Original gab es nur einen. Beste Grüße
