Corgi restoration Ford Thames Ice Cream Van No. 447 for sale of ice cream. Model toy.

[@rizmirza1829]

Your very skilled and professional, brilliant restoration

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much

[@mikaelabowen5781]

This is another really lovely job, well done! You're inspiring me. It's perfectly timed, too, as I have a scruffy one sitting on my workbench and looking at me imploringly! I still have my original one from childhood - I remember putting the stickers on with my Dad. Sadly it's in need of much work now.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much. Good luck with your renovation

[@GTyoutube]

Bloody marvelous - I had one of these as a kid in the 60's /70's - brings back great childhood memories.

[@PaulRestorer]

Cool

[@JamesMosesJr-y8h]

Like the Sky blue paint Paul.

[@williamharris8367]

That looks amazing! I cannot imagine how much time it must have taken to recreate all of the decals and the canopy on the back -- there is so much detail.

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much William

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Beautiful restoration Paul. Always love the box too. Thanks for saving another car.

These Ford Thames vans were based on the Anglia saloon car.....an icon of my childhood. I don’t remember seeing one as an ice cream van though 🤔 Beautifully done and a joy to watch 👍🏻👌🏻👏🏻

If you are not a jeweller then you must be a very good surgeon the way you operated on that ice cream van with those miniature stickers. A JOB WELL DONE!!!

[@byrontaylor9235]

Just a friendly suggestion but if you want to get the yellowing out try this. 1rst get a sealable container that's clear 2nd wrap all areas but the lid with tin foil after placing part in container add hydrogen peroxide i think a 10% variant cover and place a uv light over it and let sit for 24 hrs and your plastics will be white or clear there's a few toy restorers that use this one or 2 use a paste i think its like a hair care paste

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much . I have heard about it, but I have also heard that plastic crumbles after such an operation. I will try to use this suggestion. Best wishes

[@TheToyBoy1978]

@@PaulRestorer I think that's a bit of a myth Paul, from what I understand, its actually reversing the effects of UV light exposure, bonding back together the formulation of the plastic that has become unstable, I believe its a retardant chemical in the plastic that has become unstable and turns the plastic yellow. Its extremely popular with toy and video game console restorers, which surely wouldn't be the case if it was going to cause harm to there prized possessions.

[@PaulRestorer]

@@TheToyBoy1978 Thank you very much for your clarification, I will definitely try this process during one of the films with yellowed plastic. Best wishes

Vielen Dank Paul. Ich habe diesen Aufkleber nicht aufgeklebt, weil an dieser Stelle ein Tankeinfüller steht, der herausragt und technisch unmöglich ist. Leider ist es auf weißem Hintergrund schwer zu erkennen. Schöne Grüße. Ein schönes Wochenende wünsche ich ihnen

A really good restoration ! I had this model as a child and never thought it could be restored ? Only one small criticism. I would say that the blue is just a shade too dark. I also remember that mine had a wind up music box, this one doesn't seem to have that feature ?

[@PaulRestorer]

Thank you very much. You had a copy from 1966 that had a different model number, it had a slightly lighter color and of course a music box. Best wishes

@@doveronefoxtrot4417 No one paid attention to the identity of the shades It is enough that an employee does not rinse the tank after a different paint and the shade was already a bit different I am sending you a link to a movie about different shades, for example matchbox.
