Latest Restoration in Progress: Dinky 295 - Standard Altas Minibus
Previous RestorationAll Restorations

Badly chipped paint but otherwise in good condition. Strip down, paint removed, roof pits filled and repainted. One area of concern was the rivet pillar which was not wide enough to drill and tap, so a metal epoxy filler, small drill and a tiny self tapper worked.

noimage noimage Remember those toys cars from your childhood, or perhaps your fathers or grandfathers toys. They are very collectable now even in poor condition. I have been restoring them to give them a new lease of life using basic tools. I am sharing some of my best tips and showing some of the restorations to help you do the same. The collections includes Dinky, Corgi and rare makes such as Toby Toys, Gilco, Gaity, Kemlow, Londontoy etc. Browse the Collection, view the catalogues, see the box and decal templates box reproductions Compare models in the extensive catalogue research page. Models from 1934-1970 are listed (and more being added). The most recent restoration is shown below
