Good to see you Bob. You are a man of many talents, good save on the Range Rover with the old can of cider. The old cider had 2 uses that day..lol. Today's resto turned out a charm. Painting the wheels was a good choice. Nice to see all these old toys we played with come back to life again. Ian B said it best ,you do seem more content, maybe the pressure of not rushing for a video is paying off. You and the Mrs keep warm and well. See you in the next one Cheers Robert

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Thanks 👍

[@garrythompson2110]

A brilliant job mate!! I always wanted one of these when was a kid. All I got was my brother's hand me down with no tracks or a missile. Keep up the brilliant work!!

[@brianthornton8312]

Very good Bob; the paint looks great well done. Keep warm 👌

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Thanks, will do!

[@johnkelly5816]

Nice work Bob, enjoy all your restos.

[@popsreclamationstation2542]

Good word at the beginning Bob. A lot of viewers don’t know about what the little arrow Is for at the bottom right hand side of the small screen... ^ to then touch it to get your info you add in the description section. Also you do this in your spare time, and you are good to try to answer. But you’re right, do some research yourselves, it’s all out there on the web. You’re a good man buddy, as a fellow builder, I did it by trial and error and learnt by watching people like you! Appreciate you man! 😎 Keep going and don’t get stressed about it... 🥳🥂🍾 Blessings mate!

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Thanks 🙏

[@paulb4uk]

Superb job looks great .

[@johnnythys7428]

Superb restoration on that shado 2 Bob! It looks better than ever. Every time I learn more from your amazing restorations. That bumper on the Landrover tow truck was again a brilliant idea. I hope the weather soon gets better so You can come out very soon. See You on the next video. Stay all safe. Greetings from Antwerp 🇧🇪

[@ady-uk7150]

It's looking fantastic Bob. I've always really like these Shado 2s. I like it when you show the paint spraying, a transformation takes place then.

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Thanks 👍

[@peterhoughton1589]

Hi Bob, another nice restoration Bob, I'm not normally into Sci-fi and UFO things but I did enjoy the video. I'd like to donate a model to your channel, as a way of supporting it and thanking you for the ideas and handy tips I've learnt from watching your videos. I'll be in touch with you by email shortly. You're looking well Bob, I hope Mrs Bob is keeping well, take care and see you in the next video. Best wishes. Peter.

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Cheers buddy , looking forward to hearing from you !

[@crapaudnicksdiecastrenovat1739]

Beautifully done Bob, I like that green too and the wheels look much nicer in that red than the original colour, lovely restoration as always and good fix on the landrover bumper👌👍😊 All the best to you and Mrs. Bob, take care, Nick.

[@steveadams96]

Would love to do one of these. Came out like new as usual Bob. The wheel colour was a great choice. Fantastic mate. The fabrication on the land rover bumper was a perfect solution. Thanks for the upload Bob great to see you again. Take care mate

[@ickleshouse]

I am lucky enough to have 2 large storage boxes of my old Dinky , Matchbox and Corgi models, try looking on Ebay, can get a Shado Mobile for only a few pounds, Bob inspired me to start going through mine.

[@BobWilliscorgi]

I wish I`d kept mine years ago !

[@archeryman62]

Bumper from a Cider can....ingenius!.....hic, hic,! Xmas all over again, eh ,Bob!...For what you do ,with the bits you have got , amazing,mate!...not sure about the painted wheels on the Shado2 , otherwise brilliant!.....thanks for the mention , hope your enjoyed the parcel......some odd stuff in there!

[@paulw9516]

What about putting in the driver and co-driver? I know that they did not have them, but I always wanted to have a driver inside as a kid. I also took off the treads to keep them in good condition. Oh, most importantly there are 2 washers that hold on the missile launcher. The top one is a regular one but the one underneath is a wavey spring steel. It has 4 high points and 4 low points. This allows the launcher to rotate and lock into one of the 4 positions. You could just place a light weight spring with the proper diameter to fit. You might find something to fit at a hardware store or in your spare parts bin.

[@jeffbaker2897]

Nice job on the Shado 2 Bob, always enjoy 😉 your restorations , take care buddy 👋. 😎👍👍🚗🚘

[@williamdibruno2847]

bob stay warm and we love your restorations

[@robertgarrett4046]

Great resto as you usually do Bob ,I have three of these Shado 2s to do .Rob.

[@n2awa]

Nice job. An admirable little beauty that reminds me of the Thunderbirds TV series vehicles.

[@DiecastMediaNetwork]

Very cool resto, Bob. Those treads are super cool. Thanks as always for sharing your work. Best wishes and safety to you and yours.

[@johndavey72]

Hi Bob. Know exactly what you mean about the weather . I'm making any excuses not to go out to my garage ! Great result , as usual, and l agree, do a video when you're in the mood . What can anybody say ? Thanks Bob. Best wishes to your good lady and "see you soon "

[@petermclaren2565]

Great to see you back Bob. Great upload. Loved it.

[@Adriansmith805]

Amazing job turned out Perfect bob well done 👍

[@keefidee]

Lovely work Bob, great attention to detail.

[@paulrobinson6168]

Great job Bob another one in the books, keep up the great work.👍👍👍

[@michaelreece458]

Beautiful work Bob, a true gem better than new.

[@RestorationAustralia]

Nicely done.

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@1971ufo]

Hi Bob, I’m a massive UFO fan. You did a Fantastic job. Keep up the good work 👍

[@schuey089]

Great job as usual Bob, got a couple of them that were re-issued about 10/15 years ago along with the interceptor!

[@peterriggall8409]

Glad you fixed that Land Rover bumper Bob, I noticed that straight away.......ok I lied 🤥

[@jerrybailey5797]

I re subscribed Bob, but that was because l had to get a new tablet as my old one was starting to get slow 🐌.... Anyway l also got a new You Tube account on this tablet to enjoy Your videos and others l subscribe to. Nice restoration on the Shadow vehicle 👌👍

[@johngarvie6782]

Another great project Bob! I liked the colour change you made to the bogies. That brown tone didn't suit the model! And I think you were right to not take apart the trapdoor assembly. It might have created a lot of trouble to put back together. As always... Looking forward to the next video. Be well and safe! Cheers mate!

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Less is best I always say ! Why make work when you don't need to ?

[@TheFokker03]

Hi Bob.just to say,you've done a great job on this.but....it would look better finished in a mettallic blue,like the later version.also,iirc in the actual series,it looked slightly blueish/silver.Anyway it does look ok.i've seen a lighted version of this.someone obviously made a code 3,as it had a Shado 1 decal on it.

[@marksinthehouse1968]

Superb loved UFO ,Gabriel drake in her purple wig on moon base wow ,it was made in 1969 and was meant to be 1980 well 1980 came and wasn’t much different hehehehe ,hope your ok mate and family be safe ,Mark 😊👍🏻😂

[@martindaredare]

Nice work Bob looks very smart, thanks for the box link 👍

[@BobWilliscorgi]

No problem buddy ! 👍

[@frasermartin6728]

The Land Rover rescue was a good one. The beer can alloy is really good - I use the really thin ones to make Armco barrier for dioramas. The Dinky and Corgi Special Editions /TV/Movie vehicles are not my cup of tea, I'm afraid, but it is always enjoyable watching how you deal with the breakdown and work, whatever the model. Thanks for that, and stay well.

[@briansdiecastthailandstoth6747]

Great work Bob that looks great Stay safe mate

[@colp441]

Top job as always Bob. This is a real classic Dinky and lends itself well to customising. The UFO Tv models was actually a blue/grey colour but as we all know now Dinky had barrels of green paint on the cheap so they painted this, the interceptor and the Eagle transporter green. I’m sure youve seen the custom colour ones, got a few myself. Youve done this model of yours proud though as the darker green colour is better than the metallic one Used by Dinky. Great to see you back after the holiday break👍 I’ve also had to stop painting until the cold weather passes. Anyway, best wishes to you and Mrs W and hope she’s feeling well. Keep safe both and thanks again 👍 😉Col P

[@glynstimpson]

Hello Bob.never seen one of these before,great restoration.happy new year to you and mrs Bob, hope that you are both keeping well regards Glyn

[@stompingfreak8980]

Really been looking forward to this one.

[@mark5659]

Happy New Year to you & the Mrs Bob, the Shadow 2 was a fantastic resto mate, I had to laugh at that bloody Tow Truck Bumper as I never noticed it wasn’t there either lol, until the next one, stay safe & enjoy the cold weather. Regards Mark!

[@metalguru01]

great to see a new vid great work really enjoyed

[@ralphcooling7583]

Hi Barb I'm glad you did this one as I have a shadow 2 on the waiting list to be done I made a note of the Colour paints that you used so when I get round to doing it I'll be able to to get the paints and get started. Just one thing Bob can you possibly change the battery in your clock behind you as it stopped I think in December at 4.25 lol 🤣. You stay safe and the wife hope she's getting better. Ralph Cooling

[@derrickroe9791]

Looks great but to me anything Gerry Anderson related is great!👍

[@alansaxton5412]

The colour turned out really well I thought - a nice little resto indeed. Although I think the real deal had a front bumper - perhaps you could make one - I'm sure it will look excellent. 😁 Stay safe mate - don't get vaccinated. 👍

[@BobWilliscorgi]

Ha`Ha` very funny ! Don't worry Al, I`m not getting the crap pumped into me !

[@Rebel_Lee]

Fantastic restoration Bob,really enjoyed watching this.Looks like a good few weeks of work went into making this video for our viewing pleasure Look forward to the next video

[@AlexHonsalesModelRestoration]

Great job!

[@ickleshouse]

as a note there where various models of this, smooth roof black or green , square paneled roof black or green.... Been looking on eBay etc...would be interesting to know which are more rare etc..either way great models to work with..I was always gutted that there was not a model of the actual UFO... or CID for that matter, would have liked a SkyDiver model too.... scratch build project on standby lol...

[@ianhow100]

Listening to the chat & prompted to respond. In my early days, I did the Bently 224 & chucked all in caustic soda. Not screen or seats I hasten to add. The soda seems to crack spun wheels. Same for polished wheels hard fixed to axles. Didn't notice before I dipped, but afterwards notice back wheels very sloppy on the axle. Think the caustic soda shrunk it. Stall off restoring chassis' if wheels dont come away

[@johngreen-sk4yk]

Great restoration, I wonder if anyone else has found good alternative paint equivalents for the original forest green & biege green paints like bob has ? 🤔

[@BobWilliscorgi]

You're flattering me now :)

[@jointgib]

i still have 2 of these somewhere

[@kennybacchus6400]

Dinky. UFO. Shado. 2. Restoration okay

[@raybritton2923]

Can I just check a detail out. I want to peen axles the same way you did in this video, but were you using the drill with hammer action, or just using rotation with no hammer?

[@BobWilliscorgi]

I was using the hammer but I don’t think it makes a lot of difference 👍

[@kennybacchus6400]

Dinky. UFO. Shado. 2. Restoration. Okay
