Corgi Restoration No420 Ford Thames Airborne Caravan

[@andrewturnbull5897]

A beautiful restoration. I wonder, does anyone else see the sad little face in this lovely camper? So sweet!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

At 74, I currently live in a 38' motorhome (caravan) where I construct dynamic dioramas (each powered by Tesla battery cells) and work at a solar electric company. I like your videos - your work. Thank you for sharing...

[@diecastdungeon8970]

Really a superb job on this camper van. Like the upgraded seat. Can't wait to keep watching your videos.

[@walfrnks]

Incredible Restoration

[@peterdeknijff1973]

Very nice job it brings back my youth

[@Winterchylde]

I have no hesitation in saying this is one of your finest restorations yet. Would definitely love a full-size version of this! And those transparencies came out a real treat.

[@chargoldsmith5651]

Very nice restore, love the paint job.... 👍

[@nathanobrien6875]

That’s fantastic. Great job Danny

[@pedrodelacabra1855]

Excellent restore. Lovely greens & awesome interior. We had a green VW pop top camper when i was a kid. Funnest ride ever.

[@helmutquad1960]

Hi, your camper- van looks fantastic ! And what I always love is the lovely background when you present the finished model ! Great performance!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Greetings and best wishes, stay healthy!

[@rajak4865]

Awesome project. This is what I will be doing when I retire.

[@LarryBees]

I had one!! the seat was just a bit of foam , but your upgrade is much better .Good restoration !!

[@stevecook7984]

Fantastic work,well done.

[@rockatansky1305]

From distant memory as I had one when I was a kid, the seat cushion was just a piece of yellow sponge and was stuck to the base. The camper was also available in a purple finish as well as green. Great job you did !

[@jb3222]

Spot on - I still have my model (bought in 1964) and it does indeed have a piece of yellow sponge!

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Love that olive green, a superb job mate. Truly.

[@tarestorations]

Very Beautiful resto,corgi got some nice models !

[@derekwhidden9730]

I have seen a Thames van here in the States, at an auction. Honestly this one started in much better condition than the real thing. I like those cool, odd cars because its not the everyday thing, I had to take some pictures. This is a beautiful restoration.

[@steveadams96]

Really like what you have done here

[@HammyTechnoid]

Really nice restore job... you wouldn't know it was the same toy if you hadn't shown it first... incredible..

[@hestheMaster]

Beautiful restoration! Looks like it came right out of the box. Quality workmanship always pays off in the end.😍

[@Jack-tu5zf]

I've never had toy van's growing up but they look cool.

[@johnkelley9877]

That was a very rough looking model but it looks great now. Thanks for sharing this.

[@Jasminethelovelycat]

You did an awesome job!

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Very different casting . I like it a lot . Nice work as always . Mike Espo.............

Very very nice

[@grahamparr4710]

Nice one Bruce!

[@Ritterdrachen01]

Beautiful casting, fantastic restoration. I enjoyed this video very much.

[@motercycle80]

Looks good! And cool casting

[@TisBestinDiecast66]

Had this as a kid in this colour too, and it was a foam/sponge seat on the left that rotted with age so very few seats survive. Great resto fella and it comes in two other colours too so a collection to be made.

[@udorechner6846]

Cute little Camper Van. Very nice restoration and a fine result. Looks beautiful.

[@anthonybollini3699]

Well done very very very good I can't tell you how much I appreciate it

[@grandadsshed]

Nice Job. Just about to start restoring a white and blue one. 👌👌

[@djrose3]

Beautiful restoration! Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@terribelbliss9646]

You wowed me again! 👍😁

[@shaneellasdaicastrestorati3675]

That has to be one of the coolest car ever I'm now going on eBay to get one

[@gailraby1722]

Nice job.

[@crapaudnicksdiecastrenovat1739]

Awesome restoration, looking all like brand new and in original colours, love it! Your fake rivets look like the real thing too, great idea, nice one Danny👌👍😊 All the best, Nick.

[@Robs-me6mb]

I really love these little corgi’s. The scale the detail everything about them. I’ve said before that they’re so underrated and somewhat over looked by a lot of restorers. It’s great to see some being revived on KZbin. Cheers Danny, for the great content. All the best Rob 🇬🇧

[@bencoleman1893]

This is a fantastic restoration for sure. Love the blinds and the two tone paint

[@mauro6676]

wow nice work !! congratulations !!

[@tuxpowerpc]

Nicely done!

[@tredici72]

Cracking job Danny, I'm digging these larger scale corgi restorations, top stuff👍

[@jcetrangelo]

Fantastic work as usual. What a great casting, great detail.

[@revzillo]

Very smart looking Thames Camper Van . Great restoration Danny 👍

[@westonward735]

Beautiful work, I always enjoy watching your work.

[@hodgeshotwheelsanddiecast5192]

That is a really neat casting, and a top notch restoration! Plus its number 420,and green, which makes it even cooler!🥴👍

[@bryanharrell6894]

Great job on this restoration, and a rather well-produced video that is enjoyable to watch.

[@carlossantana5557]

[@ArtistAnnex]

[@originalfiremancancelled7303]

Beautiful I liked it so much I just went to eBay and ordered 114 bucks it looks like it's complete about the same shape as what yours was😁

[@Tiger351]

Top job Danny! Nice colour match on this one, it definitely looks a lot nicer than what you started with.

[@bingokitty5822]

wow! superior work. very well done.

[@michaelmccue72]

Looks great Danny! Made me laugh when you were cleaning the wheels, because I misheard it as "a damn cotton bud" instead of "a damp cotton bud"! 😄😄

[@davidsalinas7280]

🤔👉AWESOME casting and restoration!! 👍😁✌🚙

[@marccxxshammer6643]

simply awesome

[@briansdiecastthailandstoth6747]

Looks good Danny well done Brian Thailand

[@2ahdcat]

Dan the diecast man does it again, lol. Love it.

[@nigelcharlton-wright1747]

Hello Danny, the restoration looks better than when the model was new. Only one thing, the only thing missing was a thin sliver of foam rubber that perishes overtime, but the seat you created looks so much better, I don't know why they used foam unless it was meant to be a cushion.

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Right, yes I was thinking it may have been a real cushion of some sort.

[@RJDCR]

kool , thanx...never seen this car/van before....neat one , Happy Friday Robert

[@jp2246]

really nice!

[@matchboxmark8191]

Nice Danny! I love how Corgi did the blinds. Great detail!

[@renante4395]

I don't know what it is with restoration videos like these but they were fun to watch. Must have been a nostalgia thing with these old toys. By the way, new subscriber here. Keep up the awesome work in your future resto/mods.

[@Mr77Malibu]

Holy cow,so many fiddly bits to work with. Looked more like diecast surgery. LOL. Brilliant restoration.

[@stevenwithanS]

4 20, lol. That turned out very nice.

[@2H80vids]

Nice, neat job Danny, looks great. That looks like a particularly good casting; some of these Corgis were excellent models. It always amazes me how well these 50/60 year old toys stood-up to decades of play. Imagine if the manufacturers HAD used primer; many of these cars would still be perfect underneath the chipped paint. Keep up the good work, I do enjoy these restorations. All the Best, Dougie.

[@marlonricardomonrroydelgad8689]

No

[@a.mikasaan]

Nice leafy green paint! Wonder if it matched anything this van’s seen in its past life... 😎 Beautiful resto

[@SpockvsMcCoy]

This model came in multiple different lower body colors besides green. Collecting every color of them would be fun.

[@jhonistein5347]

Hay man very good gob I like the restoration u do it looks good 👍👍👍

[@johnhohman7847]

Nice job Danny very clean crisp beautiful as always keep up the good work 😺👍🏿

[@joolsfreeman4359]

Vantastic!

[@margaretnightingale7486]

superb resto DANNY as good a finish as corgi would have done in the 1960/s and probably better more corgi and dinky resto/s excellent work sir.

[@TheFokker03]

Awesome,Danny.i don't know why Corgi never made a van version,as before the workhorse transit,these were used by many traders.

[@a11csc]

a1 job danny keep it up
