[@charliedoggcustoms1005]

Both the diorama and car are gorgeous

[@NOName-un5dq]

I love it. VW beetle cars are one of my favorites.

[@bigugly2809]

I am a RBKA and after that weather really bothers me. But watching these videos is therapeutic for me.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

You outdid yourself again Danny!!.. Very Colorful Diorama!!

[@davidneilson3508]

Both the car and diorama turned out awesome. Great job. 👍👍😊

[@alexanderpony4038]

WOW!!!!! that little beetle police car looks great I enjoy watching you restore this and I loved the diorama to makes want to try it I enjoy all you videos.

[@archiepops]

I think a registration plate would really set off this little beetle. Great video as always! :)

[@MatchboxResurrection]

Awesome ! This time the Bug wins.... VW Beetle always a winner !!! Thanks Danny

[@jackozwart6699]

Again MAGIC in a small hobbyroom!! Beautiful Danny 3 thumbs up for this diorama.... Especially the vines😍😍😍

[@bigboy9706]

[@FREEDOOOOM]

A very friendly police station, innit? Very nice, Danny!

[@kevinmyers2237]

Looks like a scene from tv cop 👮‍♀️ show heartbeat great job 👊🏾👌🏾🇬🇧

[@jamessturrock6802]

I am liking your diorama builds to go with the car builds. Gives me some good ideas to explore for some of my customs. Thanks for a great video.

[@cutrockr-diecastracing2773]

I just marvel at your work. Well done, cheers.

[@carlosdelgado614]

Nicely done my friend

[@martyclack8782]

Nice looking good.

[@PaulB19677]

Love the diorama. Happy days.

[@markdobell2677]

Danny!!! One Word, NICE!!!

[@myramadd6651]

Very Cool. I like all things VW.

[@milossacha3255]

Very nice. Another nice diorama, not super hi-tech, but still very attractive, full of some charm. These dioramas make you exquisite in comparison with other Matchbox or other brand restorers and I really can't wait for another one. Thank you, keep well

[@Microman504]

We have the same ruler 😂 Nice work, as always man! I'm working on a 65 Mustang from the Pole Position cartoon, thanks for getting me into restoring old die cast cars 😁

[@timburnette5914]

Looks awesome man. Great job on the diorama dude

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Nice details on this one...

[@birdie399]

A new channel is emerging... Danny’s Dioramas. Fantastic result all round. Thanks for the video.

[@revzillo]

Nice job Danny , l think the centre caps stick out a bit too much ,,but over all it looks great, The diarama ..... All l can say is that police station looks like it's been there a long time , with all,this vines over it 😄👍

[@quickdrawmcdraw7645]

In some third world countries, they do use vw and other small cars for city workers.

[@fumblebee4234]

Ah the good old days when the copper was the people's friend. How time and cars change. Terrific job and another great diorama.

[@lotharrenz4621]

nice work, and lovely diorama. who wouldn't want to go to prison there? :)

[@davidbeeson1178]

You make it look so easy, I want to give it a try. How many dioramas have you done that you're that bad ass at it? You do magnificent work with the cars and then you do the dioramas. Now I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place, I'm not sure which one I like more, I can't decide. Together it is 1 gigantic like.

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

Beauty mate.

[@jona2688]

Very cool .

[@johnkelley9877]

I think you did an outstanding on the model and the diorama. The hand cut bricks gives the police Station an aged look as in the days when bricks were not uniform in shape. Thanks for sharing these techniques.

[@ScaleStreetGarage]

Awesome as always mate

[@Truewhispers40]

This is really will done, it's a joy seeing old toys take on new life...keep up the good work!

[@tapethegrape8195]

Awesome video !

[@grahamparr4710]

Looks like a nice friendly police station.

[@SuperBadVideos]

Omg that awesome 👍🏻🔥🤘🏻

[@williamwittersjr.5569]

Very cool buddy and great vid as always !!!

[@eamonnhaddon5105]

Back to the old days when Blighty had country police stations before been closed and replaced with stone monsters and police services were combined. O for the the good old days.😥 PS Cracking job danny👍

[@stevecann3394]

Lovely bug, Hammer Horror police station!💜😃

[@azrifadli7900]

Awesome

[@bladerunner4583]

DANNY I LOVE THE WAY YA DID THE DECK LID WITH THE VW SYMBOL WORD KINDA REMINDED ME OF MY 1969 BUG THAT I HAD AS A TEENAGER YOU DID IT AWESOME SO MUCH LOVE TO YA WORK MATE ☆☆☆☆☆

[@joeygaming2987]

Love the video good job

[@nathanobrien6875]

Turned out great Danny. I have the very same bug.

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

LOL i was wondering if you actually sent me this one, I'm loosing track, so if you did sry i didn't mention it. I'm hunting hard out for a windscreen for that S&S 57 Chevy ;)

[@nathanobrien6875]

Danny's Diecast Disasters no wasn’t me this time mate. I’m enjoying these little diorama builds!

[@JoseMedina-hs9st]

You do a really good job on doing dioramas

[@nathancook1404]

The Car and the Diorama looks nice VW Bugs were very useful in most places like Mexico they are very popluar as Taxi Cabs probably because they were cheaper on gas mileage and the Germans did use them as Police Cars probably for the same reason cheaper Gas Mileage.

[@gregorytalber2068]

Terrific

[@blkpig6664]

Wow what a find. I never had one of these...

[@jimmyjazz1186]

Good restoration👌Makes wanna go out now,cause trouble only to be driven in the Beetle to the police station😂😂😂😂

[@joeholloway1386]

Great restoration and diorama!

[@smilesfourmiles2714]

😂 They take better care of their police car car than the station another awesome job absolutely love it🔥

[@deepjunkgarage]

Very well done on the beetle, looks great and your diorama makes for a really neat display ! 🍻

[@TheFokker03]

Very good,Danny.not sure if any Police force in the UK had beetle's.abroad,yes,Germany had them,but were White & green with 'Politzei' on them!

[@TheCaptn]

I think this would have looked awesome in a Green & White German Polizei livery.

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Looks like a good casting... Shiny...

[@TimeRider]

This turned out very nice, not a fan of the wheel centers but that just a personal choice . . . if you're happy, that's all that matters!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

Looks like she's ready to go back into service!!

[@RoadRunnergarage8570]

The vines are also quite realistic!

[@OctasLP]

So cute

[@brianartillery]

It's quite a nice casting of a VW Beetle - but what spoiled the model for me, as a kid, was that really nasty casting line across the bonnet. I got my mum to give me a steel nail file, and as carefully as I could, filed it off. I was about 12. Dad took it to bits, and stripped the paint off for me. I painted it bright orange, and when it was dry, dad glued it together with 2-part epoxy.I had it for years and years.

[@AlvarezAzel]

Great work Danny, I like what you did with the wheels, the hub caps are very effective. I used to have a bunch of Corgi whizzwheels as a kid but they were always dirt and monster truck fodder, the nicer Matchbox, Hot Wheels and Dinky's never ended up getting that treatment :D

[@moreshwarpandere8535]

Wow i have the car like This

[@threadsofmadness]

I had one of those when i was a kid. the real colors would be black bonnet, boot, both doors and roof. the only white parts would have been the fenders and rear quarter panels!

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Much better

[@chrismayer3919]

Honestly, the vine/flowers were a tad over-the-top. Everything else looked great.

[@milton1969able]

Vines and flowers? jeez ,I thought it was an alien planet diorama :p

[@helmutquad1960]

Hi, the car looks beautiful but your building oh my goodness it looks like the Jail of the sheriff of Nottingham! Poor Robin Hood, hopeful he's able to escape !🤣🤣🤣🤣 But everything well made. I enjoyed your video !👍👍👍👍👍. Greetings and best wishes!

[@diecastsheriff817]

W🍩W this restoration and diorama is approved ☑ by 🔴Sheriff Chipchase🔵©

[@andrewturnbull5897]

The dioramas are intriguing and well executed. But the casting lines on the bug Danny! The casting lines did detract from the final lovely project! Just a bit surprised! Otherwise great work!

[@tootall5559]

I wouldn't know, but I know this, a buddy stationed in Germany had is Trans Am shipped over so he could take it on the Autobahn, which was much more open then. He was doing like 120 and a VW bug passed him like he was standing still. He got off the autobahn and the next day started making arrangements to have the trans am shipped back.

[@jonoedwards4195]

Same, I had a super worked 350 with a double pumped Quad 850 Holley back in the 90's, nobody ever beat My low geared Beast,, except for this one little Dak Dak an I bent a tramp rod at the next set of lights attempting revenge?

[@udorechner6846]

Very nice restoration and diorama but the plants are way to much. It looks that these policestation wasn't in use since decades! The windows are nearly hidden under the growing plants...

[@tootall5559]

As I understand it, the VW's were mostly used in the cities where top speed wouldn't be a big deal because traffic always sucked anyway. I think you went a bit overboard with the vines, but that's just one man's opinion. I find it interesting how you do that stuff though. I'm thinking a police station of the age this one would appear to be would have a round ball police sign on a bar that holds it out from the building a bit. Maybe it should be Polizei on both the sign and the car? That's the German version of Police.

[@lotharrenz4621]

but then it would have to be either dark green all over, or white with green doors and hoods. I think only the Autobahnpolizei (highway police) used to use all-white patrol cars.

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

They did make a green and white Polizei one as well.

[@arronjones6985]

It was absolutely perfect up untill you added the vines. Bit to much in my opinion but another ther great Danny diorama 👍

[@df6695]

Great video! That VW came out great and I really like it! I am planning on customizing one like that pretty soon, should be fun! One thing me and my brother are wanting to know is what is that floor polish you used at 6:19? Like what brand is it and where can I find it? We've been looking for something to clean windows lately.

[@jensenhealey5653]

Got the earlier husky version the other day with better wheels. Thought it was same casting but no holes for the headlights

[@chezsnailez]

Bonzo reno, mate. Lichen the 'dog dish' hubcaps. One can't help wondering if more metal has been used in making all the diecast VW Beetles out there than in the making of the actual V-dubs themselves...

[@MatthewOfLondon]

I never knew the rozzers had Beetles in England. I had better watch out in case they pull me in for a caper and grill me like a sausage.

[@pimpmydiecastsdiecastandto3176]

always wondered , what did you do to your thumb bud ??? i've customed this one so can't wait to see the result

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Just squished it a bit in a ranchslider door. Didn't really hurt 👍

[@pimpmydiecastsdiecastandto3176]

"Pssst, Hey Meesta, wanna score some loco Dakka Esse?" "Not Guilty Your Honour an My Mate really needs a Doctor?" Awesome Show DDD.

[@DaBoogie049]

When the german police drove these, they couldn't even keep up with scooters

[@oef6975]

Just a suggestion instead of police put Polizei (German for police) on it

[@BulletNoseBetty]

The car looks amazing and the diorama looks incredibly life-like, but they don't work together. The car is too shiny.

[@MetalMania3DTV-TAS-AUS]

Awesome job amazingly fantastic well done Cheers KC Tasmania Australia Can you tell me is that high density foam, or could you tell me please as want to try it, as i use foam board card etc, the one you use looks easier to work with thankyou

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

Its extruded foam, you can get it from Bunnings over here.. Used for insulation and hobbies etc.

[@capatainnemo]

i wish you had got rid of the casting lines across the front of the bonnet and wings :(

[@fireformedwind9376]

Have you worked on dinky toys before any advice for fixing the hood on one

[@DannysDiecastDisasters]

You can find spare parts online.
