Looking very nice .nice one

Looks nice! I just love the fact how aging diecast cars kinda reflects how actual cars are aging in a scrapyard. I got some of my older Matchbox/Hot wheels cars that are more than suitable for this and i always wanted to make some dioramas like this, if only i would have the time for it.

Like.

That's a good price Bob, considering the amount you got and especially for what your going to use them for ,and a few for spare parts ,all good stuff .

I think for £20 you did OK...Its good to have spare parts..That first one just the base could make a skip bin for your scrap yard..

Nice old van. 👍

You need a brakedown truck hanging around. Mate and some fake puddles and mud and a forklift or old crane coming on well. 👍👍

Nice

Your doing a great job of this Bob, giving me plenty of ideas, I like your weathering techniques. Excellent

Starting to look nice and busy. You'll be thinking about stacking some of those motors, and maybe stripping a few of them back and whacking the remains with a hammer! I do like that caravan! Next up, a forklift to start stacking with!

Looking very nice...If you need to restore a car after you can..

I use grease wipes to remove residual glue or pre paint wipes. 👍

Hi 👋 Im viewing from New Zealand. Growing up in the 1960s i had a selection of metal diecast toy cars. Dinky , Corgi , and Spot On models. I like the Princess and the Honda sports car is cool with the orange interior and sunroof. Sad about the damage with the Opel. Otherwise it could have been a good model. From Carl.

Good detailing there

Ronson Lighter fuel?

Nice selection, I have to say the bedford truck is in great condition and a good price my one needs work ,and they certainly aren't cheap. You're not alo. e I have been out bid on loads of castings this month, some are going for stupid money. All the best Martin

Very cool my friend...Have you tryed lighter fuel for that Transit van... .

Great idea 👍

Cool..Your scrapyard will have some cool models....

Nice work ,it's certainly took the shine off

The great thing about dioramas is that no one. no one, can tell you it's wrong! Beavering away and looking good! Old tired herbs - you know the pot of coriander flakes that you've had for five years past the sell-by date - get it on there. Bit of a balsa lean-to for the outside of the barn..? Maybe get a pair of nippers and flatten some tyres? Cars are coming on great! Crashed any yet? The Triumph Herald/Vitesse was a component car: the roofs on the convertible, coupe, saloon and Courier van were all interchangeable so you could easily remove the roof from the Herald and it would still look the part, as long as the upholstery was manky and had a big dog living in it!

Nice like it.

The scrapyard is looking great Bob.....

This is looking really good, Bob, the yard is coming on nicely, and the cars with the worn paint are excellent, like you mentioned there is a tendency to go over the top with the rust , because rust works from the inside to the outside. Keep it going

I love the underground train bookend and your other underground trains . Regarding giving to Charity if you buy items from charity shops you give to that charity

I have a collection of diecast models . Why do I collect them ? Because I like them and it takes me back to earlier days . All the best to you

Fun vid,got a great purchase there with the amount of cars,some good restorations possible.

Coming along nicely Bob, 👌

Make as many videos as you like! It's all of interest! Save all your dust and muck, Bob: it is useful later for - err, dust and muck! The 'field' is brilliant! On the weathering, I struggle too - I reckon 'less is more' based on the experience I have attempted. I would not scrapyard those Commers, or the Thames, though! The Transit could be the scrappy's wheels - so keep it as a mobile unit, and the caravan is the office! The Austin A35 in black is quite rare, I think: I'd hang on to that! Remember the Range Rover is aluminium, so careful with the rust effect!

Looking good..That model stuff is very expencive in Thailand..

I am looking forward to that developing too. Scrapyards and workshops are great fun to do because you can't really get anything wrong. I scratch-built an Airflite caravan out of plastic card as a static office, 'fitted' with a stovepipe fire and a log for chopping other logs on! Sometimes, you can get carried away... The scrapyard is a great place for keeping models you don't really like but can't bear to part with - like you Ghia L64, which, if closely surrounded in due course, would barely be recognisable! I put a Range Rover P38 in a bag and drove my car over it after stripping and removing some of the components. A liberal coating of hairspray on the remnants, and with it placed carefully, and still tacky, on the garage floor, soon had it appropriately aged as I swept the floor around it!

Just subscribed! Martin Dare recommended and he was not wrong! That little AA Land Rover Hardtop was a bit of a peach, and it'll restore well: quite rare, I imagine. Bonneted trucks were generally for export as the FC units were difficult to work on. That Imp'll do nicely! I got an excellent donation of the Jeep Conveyor truck from Martin, which came without the conveyor belts, and ordered replacement belts. They lasted three months in good ambient conditions, despite my location, so be warned if you need to replace! I need to get some more already, and i didn't even get to pay with it! They are a bugger to meddle with and rebuild, but quite satisfying in the end. I liked the Spot On Wraith too. I liked the Corgi Healey and Mini Van - it would be interesting to look at this and the Spot On side by side to see where the scales differ... The Bike is a Triumph, I think, and should have had a sidecar. The Trans-o-Lite P6 Rover is a great base for Code3! The King Size Caterpillar D9 does makes a good prop for a low loader: I have mine sitting on a Bedford. Send the Chitty to Kev for a proper Banger racer! The TK cab is always useful: you should keep that! Great video, and interesting haul. Thank you for sharing your bargain!

Nice little video Bob, looks a nice place to visit.

Love the ferry master lorry

Fantastic lot Bob ,excellent cars for restorations, I love the side dump ,that could be bice restored, the motorbike is a Britains and the police car is Budgie toys I believe, awesome, cheers Laz

That will look good as a scrapyard Bob...lol I had a fort as a kid and played with it with my cars...

This will be a fun long term project Bob, glad you half demolished the house it looks better ,those pencils look handy. I member my dad built me a wooden garage for my toy cars .excellent

same again for chitty bang bang, easily restorable..

Waiting in anticipation as I see a fab1 , thinking worth the £20 by itself !!

Amazing collection of novelty / gadget die-casts !!

on IMP if you push down slightly and roll backwards and forwards, rear seat folds / unfolds

Firstly Bob thanks very much for the shout out, you did really well with that lot really well ,crecent/lone star / benbros excellent, looking forward to seeing your ideas for a scrap yard ,man after my own heart ,used to love roaming around those old scrap yards getting bits for my cars .if you want that spot on rolls doing drop me a line .

You got a bargain there

You got some cool diecast there Bob.....

I swear this Austin Holland’s Super Bowl

Lovely. I’ve got the big Bruder crane , they are very good. 👍

That's a good size

Don't worry about it You can do it.

That's a great looking truck, impressive .

5:27 I recently picked up one of those K9 Firetrucks at a flea market in mint condition for $20 aud. Nice bunch of ambulances; I don't mind that fantasy one. 👨‍🚒👍🇦🇺
