    This time, I tackle one of my very own models from my collection for the first time. I dug this one up remembering that years ago I had pestered my dad to help me fix this little Corgi Ford Sierra, or at least fix it for me! We never did try, so now is my opportunity. It was a non-roller, so it was never one of my favourite play things. It also had doors that didn't sit correctly and drooped down. Despite this, I still loved the mundane day-to-day family saloon of the 80s and 90s. My aim was to fix these issues and revive the car to a decent standard, as I had wanted to all those years ago.
    Hopefully this series will track my progress and aid me becoming a better modeller. There are plenty more videos to come and I have a big selection to choose from for future restorations. Please like and subscribe to be informed of new content first.

    Brilliant job on the Sierra Jason, it looks mint now! I can't believe how nice those wheels came up after a wash and a repaint, every one of the Corgi Juniors I had as a kid had the wheels totally trashed lol, maybe not being a roller saved them.

    That turned out really nice! It looks so much nicer now and I was surprised how well the windshield cleaned up too. Thanks for sharing this.

    That turned out great, a bit of blue on the badges would've really added something nice.

    Check out Wheeler dealers on facebook they just completed the Merkur version and sold it to a man in the UK. Nice work on this model.

    • @DieCastRestos
      @DieCastRestos  Před 4 lety

      Finished up around 2 weeks ago maybe? I’ve been having to do them a bit in advance lately due to other things going on!

    Hi, great job, one question, what kind of astonish? there are many different types of them

    • @DieCastRestos
      @DieCastRestos  Před 7 měsíci

      Thanks! Astonish wood floor polish is the type I use - it’s a white looking solution rather than clear

  • @geauxbearsdiecastworkshop149

    Nice job
