German Diecast Siku Super-Serie V 291 Cement Mixer Restoration

[@roadstar_na6]

The wheel that turns the drum actually show what happens if you turn it in either direction. "Mischen" means mixing aka, "Leeren" means emptying. So you can actually mix cement before pouring it out of the drum. Pretty cool

[@Saebb]

Yes, I was also amazed by this kind of detail. So you could really use as a scale concrete mixer.

[@wowdogeful]

Siku makes the highest quality die cast toy cars you can find, please feature some more of them on the channel. Growing up in Germany, Siku toys were a huge part of my childhood.

[@canadiancatgreen]

Loved how Siku had sets about the car on the base was somehow just cool even as a kid even if half the info didn’t wasn’t understood

[@80saddict79]

Always preferred SIKU to Matchbox as a child, although they had two drawbacks. 1. They were considerably more expensive. 2. They didn't make those cool american police cruisers like Matchbox did.

I had no interest in hot wheels or matchbox cars before finding your channel but since then, I have been heavily enamored by the amount of work, the process, and the before and after you’ve shown time and time again. I like this channel a bunch so keep up the great work!

[@westonward735]

Awesome truck, it's nice to see something different every once in a while. Rattle cans are tricky. I've had pretty good luck but I probably waste a lot of paint. I tend to spray from a couple feet away. It seems to work for me. Maybe you could airbrush the other one and show them side by side? That would look cool.

[@FaceBreaker-BitoJoose]

I like that idea of putting them side by side. Future update?

Stuck around to the end and glad I did. Brought back memories of loading my 70B Ford grit spreader -- the one you showed to illustrate the difference between 1/55 and 1/64 -- with salt and happily spreading it, probably all over the kitchen ~50 years ago. :-)

[@PACKERMAN2077]

I am so proud that you appreciate the difficulty curve and skill level required to master aerosol can Art. While yes more mainstream commercially impressive pieces can be made by basic airbrushing on a small scale, the grand history and elaborate massive set pieces that spray paint in graffiti art have achieved, _given the crippling technical limitations of such a primitive instrument by comparison,_ over the years cannot be denied. Thank you for not demeaning spray paint artists, like the majority of Outsiders and _"classically trained"_ airbrush elitists do.

[@icenesiswayons9962]

Yes you can definitely see the paint graduation in the red and green. They would make cool salt and pepper shakers.

[@tomheckhaus7617]

I follow 6 other die cast artists on KZbin and I think yours are the best my reasons? NO MUSIC is #1. You do excellent dictating explaining very well your processes and procedures and other than the tiny advert at the beginning you don't ask for donations, or please "like" or "subscribe" which is very annoying and the main reason I unsubscribe to some. You seem to do these videos because it's a hobby and you enjoy doing it an I enjoy watching same. Regards Tom

[@Jesse__H]

Looking at the build quality of that beast, I really don't think the plastic gears have anything to do with obsolescence... Probably they're there to prevent binding or rusting or some other benefit, right?

[@hobbitilius]

Could also be for self-lubricity i.e. keeping themselves running smoothly by the mechanical properties of the polymer itself.

[@murrij]

The plastic seems like it would be more smooth. Buried in there the way they are it seems like it would take a lot to break them?

[@Epinardscaramel]

I love watching you bring these beaten up diecast vehicles and fixing them and making them beautiful. You most certainly deserve a sub.

[@chrispile3878]

My airbrushes are single action Millers. I bought 2 of them in a kit that featured a compressor powered by a sewing machine motor, 4 different size nozzles (2 fine, 2 medium), 2 glass cups (baby food jars), and a cheap aluminum paint sprayer that I threw away after 1 use. I bought the whole kit for $19 from K-Mart back in 1975. After 45 years - the compressor and airbrushes still work. I have gone through a couple little V-belts which drives the compressor. I used them for scale models for years, and still use them in my guitar repair shop. They result in a professional looking finish job anyone would be proud of.

[@Tim-57]

The paint tones work well together and the truck looks great. Liked the ending very much.

i used to have a bunch of redlines that my grandpa had. i had a perfect mustang as well as a lot of other perfect (unrestored) cars. i didnt know the value at the time, but i donated them to be auctioned off for charity. even though i regret giving them away, its good to know that they were going to a good cause.

[@diecastgarageisgone...9531]

Nice to see something from a different manufacturer. Good job!

[@MatchboxGarage]

That's a very involved build. Good job mate

[@GalaxyStranger01]

It's not that it's a spray paint that takes a long time - it's the oil in the enamels. I have a theory on how to mitigate this. You're pretty much screwed with spray cans unless you decant enamels first, but if you let the paint sit - like in the 1/4oz Testers bottles, you'll see the oil separate and float to the top. In theory, you can sop most of that up and thin it back down with mineral spirits. This is what a lot of guys are doing with artists oil paints to get them to dry faster after application. I haven't tested it yet with enamels, but I'm sure it's better than nothing.

[@baremetalHW]

That is a good point.... I have not played with enamels all that much as I like urethane so much more but I could give that a try.

[@GalaxyStranger01]

@@baremetalHW I've been using PPG automotive urethanes - I love them but you gotta act quick before they set in your airbrush!

Testors enamel is really bad, cheap paint. Not all spray cans are created equal, try Tamiya TS series paints, you'll be a believer. Krylon works well too, and is inexpensive for the amount in the can.

[@nokiot9]

Krylon? Yeah rusto and krylon are friggin terrible companies. The simple fact that they both use proprietary cap fittings completely ruins them for most applications. And their pigment load compared to something like belton or MTN is garbage.

PAKTRA PRODUCTIONS I’ve never used testors. It just bothers me they don’t use standard male euro stems like every other major brand of spray paint. They did it to kill off the graffiti culture and it’s a hamstring not a feature.

"Like painting a car with a firehose". Great analogy! You did better with a spray can than the vast majority of us could, but I readily agree this paint job leaves a lot to be desired. It must be pretty disappointing after all of that work. I hope you post the repaint as an update in a future video, even if it's only an end cap. Thanks for another great upload. :-)

[@johnkelley9877]

It looks great! It is a very well made model and has some neat features to it. I can understand your frustration with spray cans as over the years when I have used them you do have to figure out a technique that works. Flat colors are fine to spray but gloss colors are temperamental when being sprayed from a rattle-can. I will not be giving up my airbrush anytime soon either.

[@timelessgamer883]

The salt and pepper shakers idea actually seems pretty cool in my opinion.

[@Boerharms_Manta]

That is awesome!! I love the classic Siku's! This one is quite a cool casting. I have a couple. Siku made a lot of interesting cars and trucks back in the day. From a US 70 GTO, to a Toyota 2000GT, they made a wide range of cars, most cars being german brands like VW, Porsche, Opel, Mercedes. But also a bunch of really nice fords, like the capri. For those interested, I just restored a vintage Siku Opel GT, video on my channel

I have a small advice for painting. Take a srew through the hole from the frame and hold the end of the screw with your tool and then paint. With these way you have no places without colour.

[@Boomtendo4tw]

I hold the spray can pretty far from the object I’m painting. Extra distance helps. Very nice truck! Maybe the gears are plastic cause they have some give to them and cast metal would snap. Germany makes great stuff!

Killer restoration! You did a fantastic job!!!

[@TimeRider]

I absolutely love this "out of the box" casting and the project in general! Just so you know, the Matchbox #70B is 1:85 scale, not 1:64. Not a big deal or relevant to the project for that matter, but it's true! I was surprised by a couple of things though. One, I don't think a simple cleaning of the wheels did the job, their final condition detracts from the end product, just my opinion. I'm not sure if painting them would have helped, or buffing them with Mother's . . . . but in the end it was the first thing I noticed. Two, the gap in the grille on the left side of the finished product surprised me. I see that it's there in the before pictures but at 5:02 it looks like it's gone, then it's back at 12:02 and looks more pronounced than the before pictures. If this were anyone else, I wouldn't have said a thing about these two issues. But you are generally such a stickler for details and your work is the true "Gold" standard of this hobby. Thanks for all of your work, I have learned a great deal watching your videos. ~TR

[@elwyndavis339]

Try baking that enamel in an oven at around 100 to 150 degrees for an hour or so. Make sure you support it like you do when you paint. I have found that commercial floor stripper ( wax remover) strips paint on metal and plastic. It's all I use. It's not as fast as the aircraft stripper but it won't burn your hands either. I use it bare handed although I probably absorb it into my body. That's a cool truck. I wish I hand a 3D printer but I probably never will. I also use the floor stripper to clean the plastic. It's also a degreaser. Its wonderful and almost unknown product that so many restorers would love if they would just try it.

Great tip for cleaning out spray nozzles. One thing though. I use rattle cans to prime up the games workshop minis and I have no problem with runs and detail loss. And I use a printer that's designed for cars. I know they're not the same, but my point is that the detail's a hell of a lot finer than on die cast cars.

[@brianclark2119]

Nice job! I have to admit when I see rattle cans in the wings I tend to cringe... But you managed to end with a finish that was better than a lot of airbrush jobs I've seen. I noticed a bit of uneven coverage on the drum but that is much less of a negative than heavy orange peel. The cement mixers in service now compete in showing off creative and eye catching paint schemes and it might fun to see a friendly spray off on these monsters of the highway by you talented workmen.
