Oh my days I'd totally forgot about that, I havent seen that film for ages..... for your viewing pleasure here it is.... czcams.com/video/NFCC8jvgKPU/video.html Many thanks as 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
@Muhammad Creed @Moshe Leroy You two uh, wanna be alone together.
Chris I’m with you....Majorette is a hidden treasure trove of classic Euro. I love everything about this, especially the car itself. The instrument panel was well done! -David
Thanks David..... you've hit the nail on the head with that ' treasure trove of classic Euro' 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
That is a awesome Renault and I can't wait to see you build a Serria with engine!!
Many thanks as always..... Hopefully not too far away 😁👍
@@SidewaysKing75 I hope not!! Lol😀
My dad fell in love with the Renault 5 turbo, after hiring one on a holiday in Spain, in the early 1980's, which, according to my mum, made him drive like 'A bloody maniac.' He wanted to buy one when they got back, but mum put her foot down, sadly. He then got the biggest Cortina he could find (he hated Sierras, for some reason), and then, in 1988, swapped that for a big Audi. Which he drove like a bloody maniac. Hurrah!
Oh Brian you make me LOL..... Hooray for the 'Bloody Maniacs' amongst us, well sort of hahaha 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍 great story as always 👍👍👍
Awesome, 1981 Renault 5 Maxi Turbo Rally Model !!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks Jerry 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Great resto !!!! I remember my father, who had a local Renault dealership, once had a Turbo 5 in his showroom. As a little boy I spent hours behind the steering wheel pretending I was driving it...😉
Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍Sounds like great memories!
Chris, great result as always. And looking forward to the Ford projects.
of course its a like, and a massive like for the whole collection at the end
Many thanks as always 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Great job. I remember receiving a blue one if them as a birthday present, many moons ago. Thanks for bringing back happy memories
Thank you, glad you liked it and it brought back great memories 🚗🚙👍🏻
Another great project and another one added to the garage. Keep up with the good work and looking forward to your next one .
Many thanks as always 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
treasure trove indeed. Majorette made models of everyday cars which most have long since vanished off the streets... they also added many details from late 70's on, like gloves on the rear deck, a golf bag in the back of a Golf, suitcases, umbrellas, and so on. and the springed suspension proved to be nigh-indestructable; all I have seen were only corroded, not bent.
you might be right about the baseplates being galvanized, must have ocurred around 79 or something. then again the zamac was special, I only encountered one baseplate with zinc sickness in all these years, which crumbled away under my fingers. even the old ones refuse to corrode... I still have the leftover body. XD
wonderful work on another rallye car for your collection. interesting and rare colour scheme, too. the ref you showed seems to have used a Mk2 front parts to make room for the massive (takes deep breath) HEADLIGHTS. love the wheels, too (though the rear ones could have been twice as wide XD), and the stance. lowriders won't work on a rallye track... ;)
Same tastes Lothar for sure. I don't think there were many Majorettes i didn't like probably more down to the quirkyness of some of them. They did have litle wacky detaisl didn't they :) Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Hi great choice, always loved the cartoon bodywork on the 5 maxi turbo's, wasn't expecting another video so soon after the Rover touring car, keep it up and thanks for the sneak peek at your other projects, Rich
Thanks again for watching Rich its appreciated 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Watching your vids is such a calming, relaxing experience. You've inspired me to start doing my own custom diecast work. Keep the vids comin'!
Thank you very much Sean I really appreciate that and glad I could offer the hand into the hobby. Hope you get the same enjoyment I do out of it. All the best :)
@@smashingblingbling7166 Thank you very much that means a lot :)
Thanks for this surprise!!! I do love this kind of simple builds, but the result just speak to itself. Also I want to point out the decal of the rear quarter, is from an ad from 1989 for the Barcelona olympics, "Hechos para el 92" meaning "Ready (built) for 92" maybe predicting the next generation of the Renault 5 turbo... Anyway I've always been a huge fan of Majorettes lovely details and very good times spent with those bouncy suspensions. Nice build my friend!!!
That is great, probably my favourite since your first Escort RS2000! Brilliant! Decals are perfect
Many thanks I aopreciate that 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Great stuff, you've worked your magic yet again sir. Love it 👍👌
Many thanks Richard 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
I enjoy working with Majorette models 👍🏼 Chris the 5 turned out 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Rob..... they're little diamonds I think, some quirky Euro stuff from the era that I hated when they were on the road but kind of like now :) All the best buddy
Fantastic looking custom here. I am a big fan of the suspension left as is as well.
Many thanks glad you liked it 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Remember the rally one in the 1980's as a kid think I have this somewhere in my collection were lovely cars the Majorette ones great resto mate
Thank you Neil 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Nice build custom
interesting
thank you for share
Thank you for watching 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Learning something every time with your videos...thanks!
Many thanks, glad they are of use 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Nice 1. I recently bought a couple of Majorette trucks. I had never seen them as a youth. I like the quality of them. Even the modern ones don't feel or look cheap and nasty
Thanks David.... They are great quality and tend to have opening doors, bonnets etc.... though this one didn't sadly 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
I love the Renault 5 turbos and brilliant job on the restoration!
Thanks as always 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Another great model 👍🏼 this time done in stealth mode.
Many thanks Darren, a few more people off the bat have watched this in Stealth mode so it maybe a new thing 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Great to see such an iconic rally car, and i can't wait for the Sierra and RS200 (The Sierra was basically the homologation model for the RS200 back then)! The 70's and 80's was such a wonderful era in motorsports.
Personally i like the higher stance better, it makes a car look more dyamic.
Many thanks .... I'm a huge Ford RS fan, well I was more back in the 90's when I had them but still have a love for the cars of the 70's, 80's and 90's too 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
BIG LIKE!👍🏼
Thank you Martin 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Love your videos - came across you on a random CZcams explore and I’ve been compelled. I made a conversion of a Renault trafic van mini into of my camper van and I’m chuffed with the results. Thanks for the inspiration
Many thanks I appreciate you watching them and for the kind words 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Absolutely love it what an awesome build.
Many thanks for watching 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
You cheated, you didn't upload this car on Instagram. Shame on you. 🤣
I had that exact model. In Portugal, Majorette was king.
I really enjoyed this video, it was a great surprise.
Excellent. I never liked the Renault 5 but I love your videos. Will watch at the weekend. As a dedicated F1 fan since Ricardo P was at Williams, I have watched all of your videos so far this year and none of F1 races for the last 2 years!
Thank you and am honored you've watched more of my work than F1..... 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Absolutely fantastic from start to finish Chris. I love the 1980's rally cars. I've got a Tamiya 1:24 R5 Turbo Rally I bought back then. Your R5 end result looks terrific in the red and black, and wow, that dash board. Yes, lower looked more realistic, but nothing wrong with how you left it. I love it! Cheers, Ady.
Thanks Ady..... Yes the Tamiya version, it was very special and detailed indeed, I think I still have an unbuilt one in the loft. I havn't built 1/24th for a long, long time 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
So cool that R5 became. Keep on the Good work that You do.
Thank you very much 🚙🚗👍🏻
Amazing detail as always! You are so skilled
Many thanksJoe 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
I wish I could click a love instead of just a like on this one! an really glad you kept the suspension. Got to with Majorette cars it's a cool feature, with the rally car paint scheme and those extra details and wheels really finish it off. I can't wait to see how the Ford Rs and Sierra's come out, brilliant work as always :)
Thank you for watching and commenting,. Glad you liked it, the suspension isn't that bad in reality but when you watch it back at full scale on a large TV it just increases the look and they look like massive gaps :)
Thank you for another great video. I often think if the car has a good body style without many blemishes, why hide it under lots of spoilers, side skirts and excessive decals. The balance here is absolutely perfect. I hope all is well in Stoke!
Many thanks as always I appreciate that..... from a grey, windy Stoke 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Excellent job - love the colour scheme - looking forward to seeing the Sierra and RS200
Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Absolutely love this. Totally get you with doing a nice straight forward build in between deeper projects 👌🏻
Many thanks Christian..... the simple ones often take the longest too LOL! 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Excellent result , great work once again 👏👍👌
Appreciate it thanks 👍🏻
Exceptional. Always Exceptional.
Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
First class as ever Chris, it was a lovely surprise to see this, just brilliant bud always a joy to watch a craftsman at work! Thanks so much for sharing and I can’t wait to see your other projects come to fruition!😈👍😈👍
Thanks as always Mike, very much appreciated 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Renault 5 turbo and the group B 106 are the best race hatchbacks af all time
Hello From 🇫🇷 great job 👏👏👏👏👍🙂
Hi, many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
@@SidewaysKing75 i have a question for you i texte you on IG ....i love your Channel ....
Doooooode!
I just got to the reveal.
You did a hell of a job on this!
Good show!
Thank you very much 🚙🚗👍🏻
Kept this one secret bro....absolutely love it
Hehe I tried a build with just filming and no Instagramming of Facebooking and it went like clockwork. Start to finish in 5 days👍🏻🚗🚙
I think this i your best one yet.one of my favourites
Many thanks I appreciate that 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Looks great Chris..cant wait to see some.of those Fords finished.
Thanks Les...... I can't wait either, its dragging a bit! Slacking off I think LOL 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Group B cars are the s***! Great restoration plus.
Stay safe, cheers.
Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Classic Renault!
Turned out great!
Cheers
Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
yeahh, the old majorettes always had the best suspension! the renault 5 turbo was always very cool! The new paint is great! would've liked to see one in the Philips autoradio livery as well though ;) Might have to make one myself
Thanks as always 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍 Theres always the Corgi ones to transform into the different liveries too
Awesome custom bro! Love it!💯🙏🏼
Many thanks Tim 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Fantastic work again sidewaysking , I love watching your video's.i cant wait to see your finished sierra cosworth.
Many thanks its appreciated 🚙🚗👍🏻
LOVE IT! And yes I was shouting.
Hehe... Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
I wish I had your skills... Nice take on the Renault
Many thanks, I'm sure you can pick it up, patience is all you need 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
We had a lot of majorette cars back in the day, they really had half of the market, I'm in Chile btw, I still have them but I'm not touching them because of the memories, I even have a morgan in the box, never opened it don't know why, but I remember the day when my mother came home with it for me, I'll ask her
Always great memories of all the cars as a kid, happy days for sure 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Really liked the logo on the roof great build all round Mick Thailand
Thank you very much Mick 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Excellent, really impressed with this one! The stance is great as is, real rally cars aren't slammed. Looking forward to seeing the RS200 and Sierra.
Thank you Martin..... totally agree Rally cars shouldn't be slammed and its only watching this back on large screens that amplifies the look of it all, in your hand it doesn't look that bad 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Very nice! Amazingly, we had the 5 here in the US for a few years in the late '70s and early '80s, when American Motors imported them and sold them as, I kid you not, "Le Car". Of course, we only got the _boring_ models, including a hilariously named "Sport" version that had--brace yourself--51 horsepower. It was a bleak, bleak time for cars in the United States. :)
Haha thats a stereotype right there LOL! Mind you I had a 1.6 Sierra that was 2 or 3 times the size of that little Renault and that had 65bhp!! You guys more than make up for it in throbbing V8's and mostly RWD machines 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Fantastic stuff as always, When I was a trainee mechanic many moons ago there was a guy that had a very modified R5 GT Turbo which he somehow managed to explode the engine on twice in a month, Good times, As an aside I always liked Majorette models for some unknown reason the one I remember most was a blue Citroen Acadiane, No idea where that ended up.
Thank you 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍 All us petrolheads know someone similar to the that guy..... it was usually me in our circle 😂🤣 No there was one guy worse than me actually, forever tinkering and breaking in equal measure LOL
Fantastic work, sir!
Thanks Philip ! Appreciate it 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Turned out great
Thank you very much 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
As a Group B Rally aficionado, and rally fan in general, I love this. Brilliantly done as always. All these race cars would take pride of place within my collection of GrB/Touring cars.
I do think this is an R5 Turbo (or Turbo 1) rather than the Maxi Turbo. The Maxi Turbo had the Big spots on the bumper and bonnet and the boot lid was a bit more square.
An IMSA version of the R5 turbo would be a test....
keep up the good work though. These are amazing.
Thank you and for the correction on the model..... I always thought the 'Maxi' referred to this mid-engine wide body beast, by the sounds of it, it was like an Evo 2 version of the original. All the best
Spot on SidewaysKing75 . The Maxi was essentially an Evo version of the R5 Turbo. Homologated to run in GrB.
Still, the talent you have for these is incredible. Would take them all in an instant for my collection.
Amazing work. 👌🏻👌🏻
I've just realised you're only around the corner from me, I've been following since your first video and never knew. Keep up the good work 👏
Are you an Oatcake fan too Phil? Bacon & Egg FTW all the way with me :) Glad you've stuck around
@@SidewaysKing75 bacon egg and sausage ftw 😀 I want oatcakes now 😆
@@philcarswell125 Bugger I forgot the Sausage LOL.... I'm with you
great work as always. I love it
Thanks buddy as always.... no buckets this time 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
My dream car ! Amazing work mate!
Many thanks as always 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Woooow! Good job bro! 👍😀
Fantastic job Chris, looks better than the "real" cars did. I never trusted the ordinary, production cars in corners. The suspension was weird and the car would lean at some alarming angles; never actually rolled one though. Did drive a Gordini a few times; quick car but that suspension could be scarey. 😁 The Majorette springs look far better. 😂
Wow the Gordini, i'd forgot about that one yes! A couple of friends had 5 Turbo's, one of which was the Raider editon, I remember them going quick 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
apparently, majorette brought this casting for 2021!
Ohh yes
Mind-blowing! Love this video! Is so c😎😎l!!!!!!! 👍👍👍👌👌👌👏👏👏🤯🤯🤯
Splendid....
Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
First time watching one of your videos. I’m very impressed. Such a cool car 🚗. So cool 😎!!!
No hesitation to subscribe and click the bell.
Thank you very much for watching 🚙🚗😁👍🏻
Wow!
Very nice! I like that you kept this one more simple. it gives me hope for my builds. :P Seriously though, it turned out brilliant. I've started to really like Majorette's stuff too. Even some of the old Yat Ming stuff has started to grab my eye since they did more obscure cars. Great video as always, Chris. Excited to see what's next.
Thank you very much, we definately have the same tastes for sure. 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Looks awesome!
Thank you Weston as always 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Nicely done!
Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Very smart, and very interesting video thanks 😊 👍
Many thanks Martin 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Another great vid sir as always !!!
Thanks again for watching 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Very cool, well done.
Many thanks 🚗🚙👍🏻
I've got a couple of cool cars that I don't want to see neglected anymore, I wish I would have all the equipment you have to modify these little gems... Let me know if you're interested.
Hi buddy,
I don't know if you remember I asked if you could do a decal sheet Nissan headlamps, i came across your video again, so checked your site and boom they are there. Fantastic I will be ordering a few sets next Monday... me and my three year old had a routine after nursery we go to the shop and buy a new hotwheel, normally every day. Because of the kungflu we haven't bought any and it slipped my mind. He is having withdrawals I think 😝, and I must admit I enjoyed buying them with him too.
And if you have another spare Peugeot 205 I'd buy one off you, I owned 4 of them at one point had a xs 1.6 gti and a 1.9 gti and because I loved them I had to have a convertible as well. I paid less than a grand for each one I am not rich but this was 10-15 years ago, they was being scrapped at an alarming rate.
Yes I do remember.... ill get round to doing more headlights again soon too.
The 1.9GTi was a great car and arguably looked the best Hot Hatch in standard trim than all the rest of that era. Whilst I was an RS Turbo man a couple of pals had the GTi and they were great 👍
Excellent as ever and what a fantastic collection! Perhaps a TR7 V8 at some point? Happy to send you a donor.
Many thanks James.... it very nearly was the TR7 this time actually so one is coming up fairly soon for sure.🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
A beautifully finished modelled. Great take as the blue car is the most common... fingers crossed for a shell sierra (yes australian raced sierras) haha
Thanks Jarrod.... I'm a big Dick Johnson fan, there maybe one but there are a couple of BTCC ones that I obsessed over in my youth that will come first. The Bathurst days were amazing!!! 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
@@SidewaysKing75 Can't wait!!! I am feeling an Eggenberger Texaco '87' Bathurst Sierra would be on the cards haha... Great to hear you are a Dick Johnson fan....such a legend
Looks great I used the corgi casting for my build :-)
Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
so sweet!!
Many thanks 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Cracking video as usual. Have you never thought about casting wing mirrors? It'd save a lot of time.
Many thanks ..... I'd never given it a thought to be honest 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Stance or not... AWESOME custom :)
Many thanks as always 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍

Great job as always with amazing detail, I have only seen the Renault 5 maxi turbo at Renault World Series (Silverstone) great cars.
Thanks Phil.... Theres always at least one at Race Retro every year doing the rounds.... gret to watch and listen too 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
@@SidewaysKing75 how's it going? Are your dioramas keeping you busy?
@@GENERALWA5TE all good thanks... yes and lots to come, I've learned the hard way now to keep things under wraps, teaser stuff on Instagram and Facebook have resulted in others making and launching so its all on the hush, hush now until I reveal.... oh and someone downloading this channel and uploading it to theirs and not even changing anything 🙈.... 🤣 You couldn't write it LOL
@@SidewaysKing75 seriously, that it crazy. Surely Google should have spotted that.
Can't wait to see what you have in the pipeline, I have you on FB but I don't have Instagram.
Really do think you should enter a few cars into 3Dbotmaker king of the mountain 👍
@@GENERALWA5TE all true sadly...... you're not the first to suggest the 3Dbot race 👍🏻
It looks spectacular! Nice restoration. I have the same car but I believe it's late 80s. Same suspension, different wheels, but mine is yellow, a #22, Elf and CIBIE sponsorships, and opening doors. Not sure if the hatchback opens made by Tomica
Many thanks. I dodn't know Tomica made one so I will take a look at that 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
Hey wait a minute i did not know that today you are release new video but anyway great job SK75 on this Renault 5 Maxi Turbo it's definitely nice retro pocket rocket form the era of group b rally cars (just a little underdog that almost could keep up with legendary names like ford rs200,audi quatro,lancia 037 and many more) so yeah i could go on all day talking about them but for me i got to go so see you next video bye now. P.S. oh i almost forgot tell you that nissan was involved in rallying back in the 80s with nissan 240RS rally car but unfortunately there were not successful as they weren't ready for all wheel drive conquest that was coming to group b rally completion.
Thanks as always Lilliana, glad you could watch and comment again its appreciated 🏎🚙🚕🚓🚗😁👍
@@SidewaysKing75 no problem my friend anyway have good day bye now.
