Lovely! I've been looking for some Dinky models, particularly the Thunderbirds merchandise.
Great job with this! I wasn't fond of the green either. -

Hi I have an Eagle made by MECCANO LTD dinky toys EAGLE ITV LICENSING LIMITED 1974 AND I WOULD BE UNCOMFORTABLE TO DO THIS TO MY EAGLE BUT LIKE THE IDEA OF IT LOOKING LIKE THE SHOW I DO NOT LIKE IT IN GREEN BUT MY EAGLE IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITON MY ONE HAS RED THRUSTERS AND BOOSTERS SO I WILL BUY AN OLD WRECKED ONE
I YOU LIKE THE EAGLE 1 TRANSPORTER KIT I AM NOW A PROUD OWNER OF THE 22" MPC PLASTIC MODEL KIT IT IS ABOUT £133.00 BUT WELL WORTH HAVING IT IS A STUDIO QUALITY KIT AND LOOK LIKE THE ONE IN THE TV SHOW
GERRY ANDERSON USED A 22" INCH AND A 44" INCH MODELS IN HIS SHOW BACK IN THE 1970'S SHOWS -
Have you ever tried or thought of using a small sandblaster versus using the solution? You did a fantastic job but if the stuff is that dangerous maybe need a different method?

Hi, Have you made a landing pad for an Eagle, i want to make one.
-
Thank you for your videos love them!!!!!
-
Why did they release them in the green colour?
-
I found using Nitromors a lot easier for paint removal.
-
I have restored several of these too.
-
Fantastic post. Shared it on my Space: 1999 Merchandise FB page. Can't wait to see the second vid.

Nice lab coat!

Don't you miss how toys used to be made. I remember metal toys throwing them about hitting them against walls leaving them in mud come back days later and playing with them all again. If you did that with toys now they just break.

I must confess . I've never seen Space 1999 . :( Have you ever seen Galaxy Of a Terror ?
