[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Bit tricky, but your patience paid of Martin, nice work 👍 🇦🇺🍻🏔🪃🦘🤝🇬🇧🍻🍻

[@18Reading71]

Excellent job Martin, well done.

[@anthonyobersteller1556]

Another fantastic restoration to add to the collection you need 3 Jaguars to make a load.😊

[@jeffbaker2897]

A hard fought but nice restoration Martin, as always you adapted and overcame, and a steady hand doing the raised embossed letters very well done 👍sound advice about a different brand of lacquer coat and removing the spring🧐,enjoyed watching my friend take care, looking forward to your next resto. 👋😎🛻🚚🚗

[@JohnHatwell]

Hi Martin done great it thank you for describing how to do spring great restoration lovely colour cheers my friend thank you for sharing enjoyed it very much xxx

[@IanHulley]

Well worth waiting for Martin looks absolutely fantastic you have the patience of a saint my friend. Exquisitely done.👍

[@tomhiggins4124]

Hi Martin !!!!!, tricky !!!!!!!! , the glazing looking very complicated cast , excellent restoration sir !!!!!!!!.

[@PaulRestorer]

As usual, a class in itself, a beautifully refined model has gained a shine better than when it left the factory. All the best Martin

[@frasermartin6728]

Now that brings back a few memories, some good some scary! But you have made a lovely, proper restoration of this one. I still look forward to the Jaguar Code3, obviously, but a standard motor looks great. Thanks for the reverse shout out - the name swap is my own fault! That glass was a recalcitrant bugger!

[@richardhayward2899]

Fantastic restoration Martin. 👏🏻👌🏻 You painting skills are really top notch, it's great to see. I can't wait till you do the fully detailed one later in the year!👍🏻👍🏻

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Awesome casting. Big like 👍. Great work as always. 👍👍👍👍👍👍 Mike

[@vernadare3062]

What a nightmare to do..(headaches) thank goodness its done..lovely job and finish..Martin has boundless patience 😊

[@PlayApps2Day]

It's a really fabulous job. It is one of your best restorations. 👍

[@MartysWhiteSuit]

I remember looking for one of these models a few years ago. A lot more expensive than average. Beautiful model, though, and you've done a lot to bring back the era of classic racing with this result.

[@MrModelworx]

Fantastic work Martin. I've always fancied one of these but they don't come up cheap very often. Enjoyed this video.

[@kevintookey2469]

Fantastic job Martin that was a challenge that one but looks absolutely awesome and you have great patience 😊😊

[@Diecastbryan]

Hey Martin despite your trials and tribulations with this one it’s come out absolutely beautifully. I had this as a child and had hours of fun moving cars from one side of my toy garage to the other thank you so much for bringing back so many happy memories !!

[@Scaledcustoms]

Stunning Martin excellent restoration well done mate 👍

[@ulfgrimmsson1468]

I see the Biscoff bandits have struck as your Tonka's empty . Your guard dog must be asleep. Great work . No point rushing these things as that's when cock ups happen . The more detailed one will be certainly worth waiting for.

[@gordonwebster3809]

lovely model they are i have seen them in different shades of blue thanks martin.

[@Tim_English_Loves_Diecast]

I believe that turned out great, very nice work. Would love to see how the other turns out. Take care and have a great week Martin, cheers!😄❤👍

[@crapaudnicksdiecastrenovat1739]

Lovely job on that one Martin, plenty fiddling to be had on this model by the looks of things, this one still on my shopping list. With all that hard work you did on it and the finger print in lacquer syndrome surfacing it’s ugly head, you must have been absolutely gutted, done that on several occasions twice being able to smooth out the finger prints by leaving the models out in the hot summers sun ( no good at this time of the year) but such a shame after having done all that hand painting on it but your end result was one to be very proud of. A great tutorial on how to take apart and reassemble this model, I enjoyed your video very much! All the best, Nick🐸🐸🐸🐸

[@icw2025]

Great looking casting and top class restoration !

[@chrisparkinson1351]

Martin Dare the marathon man🎉🎉 this was a real challenge for you and the gold medal 🥇 is yours. Great job, a big casting love the details and perfect colour. Take a rest you deserve it. All the best my friend. Cheers Chris 🍻🇦🇺👍🏼🦘🏆

[@wallyrator]

Hi Martin, your hand painting f the letters was outstanding, most impressed 👽👽👽👽

[@mikeking2539]

I looked on the web and I liked the one with the gold letters, but like you say there were a few different ones,. This mdel is a couple or so years before my time. Another nice restoration !

[@LaziLowcollectables]

Well that wasn't easy Martin but you've nailed it. Looks fantastic and I cannot wait to see the code 3 version of this car . 2 thumbs up Martin , well done

[@jg24diecast41]

Very steady hands there doing that hand lettering! This is cool and look forward to a full blown Jaguar Racing version!

[@dennismllerosbck2476]

Great job, as always. Love it.👍

[@jjmac3561]

Great work Martin. As the Ecurie Ecosse raced D Type Jaguars as well as Tojeiro and Lister cars, that's what should be in and on the transporter. I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time in the real one as a kid as my father was at Ecurie Ecosse. Years later when the by then dilapidated transporter was being rebuilt and restored Chris Keith Lucas was kind enough to give me a tin of paint from the mix of Royal Flag Metallic Blue that went on the real one. Ecurie Ecosse... E cure eh E Coss 😀 There is also a much larger plastic version out of Hong Kong by Clifford toys.

[@lostonwallace1396]

Sometimes there are struggles, but slow and steady is always the way to go. Springs in these old toys always seem to be a bit fiddly to put back in and take out, but you managed well, Martin! I appreciate you demonstrating this one. I've never worked on one, but it's nice to see you trailblazing in case I ever do. Tight windscreen to remove, a fiddly spring to take out and put back in--these are all important things to know. I appreciate it, man!

[@diecastRR]

It's nice to see the restoration of such a great diecast model. Super restoration 👍💪

[@AgungSetiawanDiekeshter]

Vintage casting 🙏👍👍 awesome Restoration

[@thescalemodelcarguychannel8681]

I absolutely love it Martin and I can't wait to see you build the other one with a couple of jaguars on it ❤😊

[@oxfamshop]

Wonderful work

[@Buster-jg9zg]

Nice job Martin as usual, very detailed, nice choice of paint colour. 👍👍

[@ramblers69]

Amazing work Martin, turned out awesome buddy, 😎👍

[@Claymore5]

Great work on the restoration - fiddly but she is a beauty.

[@diecastflashback]

Good video Martin, great restoration ✌️😎

[@jimmyjames6267]

I'm gonna have to try one of these, Martin, would love to see this with the proper race cars on it....😊

[@septiccalling8341]

That was a fiddly so-and-so! Patience is a virtue, clearly. Very nicely done.......she looks a treat 👏🏻👍🏻👌🏻

[@SoMoDiecast]

Very fiddly piece but excellent restoration Martin.

[@jesterger]

A bit of a struggle but still, in the end a beauty! I love to get hold of one of these but they are few and far between. Well done Martin!

[@popsreclamationstation2542]

Awesome as usual... I've been wanting to get one of those carriers! 😎👍

[@thekingstone8632]

Wow Martin I paint 🎨 but your hand was super steady painting the letters ,well done looks great xxxShaz 🎉

[@mickmanly1479]

Another triumph,well done Martin 😊😊😊😊

[@jontaylor1652]

Excellent job mate, that turned out really well.

[@andysgaragediecastrestorations]

Excellent work Martin. Not an easy one.

[@michaelthurgar6431]

That looked like a real challenge. At the end it looks fantastic.

[@PouletJacques]

Great job Martin !

[@geoffmower8729]

Hi mate, quite a large casting that one. It came up beautiful with the blue and light blue. When you said that they had changed the paint formula I had a dreaded thought that if they had gone to enamel your clear coat would crinkle up witch is what happens when you try and put acrylic over enamel. The custom one for jags will be a good one to see, might be a bit of a job filing the raised lettering off the side though.🤬 Funny you mentioning canal boats I been watching a channel with a lovely couple who are on there boat all year round, there boat is called Rhapsody in blue and they travel all over England in it, beautiful scenery and wildlife and a wonderful couple. My brothers and I had a 16 foot cabin cruiser in the late 70s and because of our last name Mower, we called it, Moah's ark.😂😂🤣🤣 catch you on the next one mate.👍🏻

[@briansdiecastthailandstoth6747]

Great job Martin as always.....

[@marksinthehouse1968]

Very nice my friend translated means ‘stable Scotland ‘🤔 All the best Mark 😊😊

[@peterrichardson5664]

Looks amazing

[@johnnyvscustomsgaragetassie.]

So good Martin so good. This is one model I'd love to get my hands on. but still evades me. Cheers JV

[@neilbedford5082]

Another lovely job

[@ianb6415]

Hi Martin this one made us bite our nails, you could here a pin drop when you were fitting the ramp. We can see a fleet of these coming up. All the best from Ian b & the girls.

[@colinstimson2582]

Nice video thank you

[@phill2009c6]

I have a original a few chips and some minor play wear with box that's rough. If l use the tamiya l coat it with 2k clear, comes up fantastic give it a go. Mine has gold writing and no strip. Nice job l like it

[@terrybeechener5992]

Nice,Martin. i have one,but I've not done anything to it as yet.need's a couple of D type Jags.

[@deanaustin996]

[@nigelford936]

As fiddley as a tekno to restore pal lovely job

[@northernohiodiecast2908]

I would love to have me one of those in a custom Porsche livery ❤❤❤

[@ThrottleAddiction]

That was epic!

[@JHartModelworks]

Very cool

[@lotharrenz4621]

challenges upon challenges. :) but nothing can stop one of us! looks great, love the extra detailing! ^^ The effect of the paint not drying reminds me of back in the days where I made the mistake of thinning down a cup of enamel paint with lighter fluid. apparently that destroyed the hardener or binging agent, and it took a week to dry and never really got hard. it was just a larger detail on one toy, but still. ( I use lighter fluid to clean brushes and thin down a bit of enamel for washes or small mixes. it also works in the airbrush. but long-term thinning isn't working out.) anyway, does anyone have an idea what they used as a base for the original truck? I'd assume they based it on some modern bus with a tube-cage body, somethign from the 60's; those can be pretty modular and easy to reinforce. no NEOPLAN, though. maybe a Guy or a french Berliet?
