RESTORED GERRY ANDERSON DINKY TOYS THUNDERBIRDS CAPTAIN SCARLET UFO SPACE:1999 JOE 90

[@thomasbelisle6093]

When I was 8yrs old, a friend brought a small catalog to school. I wanted so much to own a dinky toys. This was the mid 1970s. They were so expensive back then. I didn't dare ask my parents to buy them. Wish I get one. Oh well.

[@StarWarsJay]

Dinky were very strange with colours. Not doing the Eagles in white, but blue and green saying kids prefer their colours, then making the max security car white. I reckon they had job lots of odd coloured paint they wanted to use up. Nice work by the way mate.

[@nickycolt]

Another great movie Mart. These vehicles now have their correct livery and that elusive all white Dinky Eagle now exists, brilliant!

[@BentBrent69]

Nice work on all of these! You've made yourself a top collection of 'color accurate' Dinky vehicles. Any one of them could easily be mistaken for factory finish originals. Love 'em all , especially the UFO related stuff. Straker's car is the balls! Fantastic stuff all around.

[@Spaceman042]

Really nice work - I fancy doing some of this myself as I often see these things at car boot sales. The mobile and the cars do look very good with the proper colour paint applied.

[@2arttoyguys]

Absolutely love your stuff! Started making UFO Interceptors once with large Ribena pop bottles! Didn't finish but you've inspired us to re-try. Thanks!

[@jj68]

Must have had all of these at one point or another growing up, great vid and memories

[@danielrodriguez248]

Wow reminds me of my childhood, loved all all those shows and those toys, made me become a mechanical engineer

[@lazycalm41]

I still own a few of these in original condition like you . I never managed to get the Eagle though...always wanted one. Your restos look fabulous . better than new!

[@Savadorason1]

-As a kid I would've killed for a few certain vehicles from 'Century 21', Gerry Anderson shows. Such as the Spectrum Patrol Vehicle or tank from Capt.Scarlet, the cars & submarine/jet from Journey To The Far Side of the Sun & UFO, some other vehicles from The Thunderbirds, Fireball XL-5 & Stingray. We were then, & I still am nuts for those shows.

[@richardkotorac5423]

Nicely done

[@Hydrart]

Lovely work on the restores. Dinky made some strange colour choices after making such nice molds.

[@tafsc]

Excellent work! I restored a few Eagles and you are quite right “intimidating”

[@ickleshouse]

I still have the Shado mobile ,masked off the stickers and sprayed it grey. Have an Eagle freighter in good condition but a toy dealer had my silver version of Sams car in a deal I regret lol. The MSV is sweet, still have mine but I put the gold somewhere and lost it. Many years ago had a plastic one in a cereal box. Another great video buddy nice one.

[@JMChladek]

I love the Interceptor. It just looks right to me (a toy as opposed to a full on scale replica). Those orange gear skids really are a nice eye catch. All of the restorations look great IMHO.

[@Modmart]

Hi mate. Been a while since I did these so can't recall exactly. I always use car paints so go to your local car repairs or supply shop and check along the rack until you spot one that looks about right. I think I used something like Ford Arctic Blue...possibly something like that. Good luck

[@Oilyrag1963]

The Shado 2 vehicle was done in blue by Dinky as well as green, but it's a rare version to get hold of.

[@Modmart]

TAFSC! Cheers mate. Appreciate the comment. Nice to see you are a Scooterist too!

[@alanhutchins5916]

Sam's car from Joe 90 must be extremely rare. .... 😲

[@TFF1963]

A labour of love! Congratulations!

[@DanielGenis5000]

Living in America makes an interest in these costly. I have an SPV, MPV, Shado 2, TB 2 and Fab 1 (got lucky with that one). Mostly had to deal with Canada. But consider the Ed Straker's in a decent form is $430 on eBay now!

[@addaladder]

Well done my friend, I like what you have done there

[@garythwilliams101]

i had all of these as a kid would be worth a small fortune now boxed

[@ianmccauley6359]

great mate we should creat a club where we could have great nights looking at models and talking about them great food and drink and conversation watching these films gives you a great buz anybody interested in having great nights with models let me know love the films

[@aegisgfx]

My die cast eagle was a prized possession when I was a kid.

[@orlandoswops7863]

always bugged me the Interceptor and eagle were green.they were white on TV. its like they had a surplus of green paint left over from the TB2 and slapped it on everything. as a kid, I loved the Interceptor, but the color was wrong.

[@GNeuman]

Orlando SWOPS agreed! Felt the same way, I had a blue Thunderbird 2 as well, ffs.

[@garythwilliams101]

didnt the thunderbird two have a mini thunderbird four in the pod?

[@rogerpattube]

Dinky's Straker car was gold colour

[@laurentien00]

I did not know that Dinky made Straker's car. I have to find it one day.

[@NEZZA1967]

Good collection but wish the music was turned down a bit so i can hear you better , and ive a shadow 2 but repainted in dinky green

[@RobSchofield]

Excellent little video! Very enjoyable. I have also done the same sort of thing with a SHADO mobile (adding a few details like exhaust, etc.) an SPV, SPC, and Interceptor. As you comment, even bashed up incomplete examples are being sold as "vintage collectables" (eh? Vintage = 50 years old by the definition, I thought) for silly money. It is still possible to get the odd one now and then to super-detail for a reasonable price but it is a real effort. Thanks again - I am quietly envious of your collection!

[@karenpaul1970]

WOW! Very nice work!

[@Paul1510WB]

I've still got 'Sam's car' which I got for my birthday in 1969....it's got no tyres left but I've always kept it! Why did Dinky make the UFO Intercepter green?

[@SharpblueCreative]

I've restored 3 Eagles, found a great die casting place online for the thrusters etc and after stripping and respraying they look great. I did paint the doors white to make them look like the show. I have a Shado mobile unrestored (but have replacement rocket and tracks) what blue paint did you use?

[@kalsolarUK]

very nice indeed!

[@SEGAdude95]

Sweet restoration.. big like i subbed.. :) ;)

[@GravesRWFiA]

missing FAB1 for thunderbirdsand the red courier car from Captail scarlet

[@moodyguymick]

What about the Model T from Secret Service ?

[@MrRalphsworld]

Did,nt know dinky did the ed Straker car tho :)

[@markcumbriauk]

i got some of those

[@AHMproductions-fs8wm]

Wonder what happened to the guy

[@martingainsford3225]

If you mean the guy who made the film I’m fine thank you. Still collecting and pleased people still watch these amateurish old films.

[@GravesRWFiA]

you do understand that if you strip off the original paint, no matter how damaged it was, you DESTROY it's resale value

[@orlandoswops7863]

you can pick up a Spectrum MSV for $10, U.F.O Interceptor for $25, & Shado 2 for $15 with not not much of a value. it's fun to restore them. a MIB Interceptor goes for $250, others go for more.

[@colinp2238]

The music spoils this.

[@paulclow3398]

Love your videos mate, I had/still have a eagle as a 70's Xmas present and couldn't put it down, but c'mon dinky that green colour, lol

[@mikeluxy]

You have done a superb job on these M8...I always enjoy your KZbin videos...keep them coming :) F.A.B.
