Matchbox Lesney No. 5D Routemaster London Bus Restoration - 3D Printed Parts

[@stephaniehamilton6217]

I absolutely love seeing these little cars from my childhood getting a new lease of life. It reminds me of when my uncle used to take me to Woolworths every week to buy me a little Matchbox or Dinky car.🚗🚌🚕

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Hi Stephanie, I love to hear that, the memories are the main reason I do this. My Grandma would get me a Matchbox when she'd take me shopping on school holidays. Thank you and thanks for watching.

Great restoration Peter, the diecast gods made you struggle with the lower deck but in true cpt Australia style you got it done . Its really great to see how much you and your channel have progressed from the first video, 3d printing, decal making and box making. Superb. All joking aside i have a lot of respect for you and your channel. All the best Martin 👍

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

A few cans and NOTHING can stop the Captain. That's very kind of you to say Martin and may I say that the respect is very mutual, thank you.

[@Skaramine]

Oh, brilliant move move making a 3D file for the seats! I love your narration as much as your artistry on restoration.

[@Skaramine]

Okay, the collector box is just showing off! 😊

[@Skaramine]

More buses are welcome, and because I accidentally tapped another video in the scroll, I popped back. I skipped to where I jumped off, but rewound so you could get a full watch to the end.

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you Douglas! I was lucky to have an original to create a file from. Appreciate the feedback on the narration, I often let self doubt creep in about stuff like that so it means the world to hear that you like it.

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

That's very kind of you. I guess if there's anything better than listening to me once, it's listening to me twice 🤣

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Oh! And yes, more buses are coming!

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thanks KC, hope you and CC are doing ok too. They said it was snowing at Cradle Mountain?

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

@PBsRetroRestorations our pleasure guys, and yes had our first snow for 2024, ❄️🏔☃️⛷️🏂❄️❄️❄️ 🍻

[@scottwilson2959]

Beautifully done PB. Bring on the buses!

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thanks Scott, I'm restoring one of those other ones to 'factory' and the other is a tribute to a British magazine I've been reading for a long time. Hopefully they won't be too far away.

Hey PB, From basket case to Crackalacken. Great job and neat save. DD buses are neat and plenty to be had. 3 d printer to the rescue again. Cheers JV

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you very much for the donation again JV!

[@theaussienurseflipper.8113]

I was thinking PB. I was thinking U were actually going to get through the video without any grief. Sounds like you got a pet gecko. Got love the Temu products. Good restore cheers Graham

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

You should know better than that Graham. I got a colony of geckos in that shed. And something else that's messing up the floor and one of my paint jobs. I have to do something about it. And stop shilling Temu mate, you'll send me broke😉🤣

[@LaziLowcollectables]

Nice one Peter,great results on the 3D printing ,decals. I love restoring these buses ,I'm up to 4 now ,cheers Laz

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Hi Laz! Thank you, I've developed a new appreciation for them while doing this one.

[@LaziLowcollectables]

I think they are not too popular or were popular but I do like them .

[@gravesendaustralia]

Fabulous restoration Pete. No wonder Stan Butler was always in trouble with blakey he had to keep rebuilding the seats when he got to the cemetery gates.

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank You Michael! I'm glad you knew what I was talking about.

[@hellboy1959]

nicely done PB I've often seen these little buses in a forlorn state nice to see to see you tackle one the 3d printing is getting really good nice one 👍👍👍

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

I think they get overlooked because there's so many of them about. I know I hadn't really given them a second look before. Thanks Neil.

[@septiccalling8341]

Classy stuff PB......lovely finish. Buses and fire engines always have that little 'something' when they're done well like that. I don't think it's just the red; there's just something..... Anyhoo, like we used to say over here when we had proper transport services, there'll be another one along in a minute....or two, by the looks of it in your case 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻 Mind you, we also used to say 'you wait ages for a bus, then three come along at once', so maybe it wasn't all so rosy back then....🤔

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank You. Things always seemed better in the olden days, whether they were or not is hard to ascertain sometimes.

[@lotharrenz4621]

lovely. :) I heard it can be hard to get a seat in one of them buses; didn't know it was that hard. XD bus away, I don't mind them, especially the colourful ones. :)

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Thank you Lothar, more buses on the way. Eventually, well I'm working on them right now, we'll see when I get the video finished.

[@diecastRR]

It looks like new. Good job. Did you design the interior yourself?

[@PBsRetroRestorations]

Hi! Thank you and yes I did, I use Tinkercad to do my 3D designs. If you need / want a copy zap me an email and I'll email it to you. It might need some tweaking though 🤣
