hi Bertel ,
that car transporter is one I have not seen down this way , I am impressed with how it looks going to start looking to see what I can find. all the best Shanehi Flemming,
I have a few projects on the go at the moment , a green Vilmer scooter , a Molberg tractor very good parts from Peter and the white Jaguar I almost shed a tear when I damaged this white metal model kit the roof was crushed but I am getting there slow process , luckily I airbrushed the white paint so once repairs are made I will be able to blend the paint together without any problems.Attachments:
hi , these are made by Tri-ang UK as Spot-On , scale is 1/42 issued mid 1960’s these two I have recently restored , parts are readily available cheers Shane

hi Bertel yes wheel nuts need sorting , I had to use these off another model its only for my collection so may get sorted out one day .Dinky El Camino I restored 5 of these just recently only have one of each version left I will post a picture soon .Haven’t been near the Vilmer yet I keep looking at it but paying customers restorations or repairs keep getting in the way ,like this Spot-On Rover

Bertle ,Even if thats not quite right it certainly looks better than nothing in that area as
it looks like something like that should be there as it would have been needed to tow heavy vehicles with, I will be making one of those thank you my friend .very nice , do Tekno Holland produce these models or are they outsourcing them to other countries cheers from down under
Thank you Strøget , I appreciate the time you took to add the history of the red carpet model that gives it a little more meaning to me and now that Bertel has found a well played with model I will leave the one I have as it is and look forward to restoring the model Bertel has found for me .All the best Shane
thank you Bertel , I still have not touched the Red Carpet yet so now I can leave it alone and sit proudly on display . I hope the parcel of Trucks will be with by
Christmas , all the best from down under .hi Bertel . good verity of models you found , must be quite a few Elvis fans in Denmark , a pink Caddy is always a nice looking machine
hi Stroget ,not so much a professional restorer buy I do make a few dollars from
restoring any type of model , Tekno collectors of the older models are not that plentiful here in Australia . I do most of restoration work on Corgi 267 Batmobiles
from 1966/67 along with many other makes but no Tekno’s yet except for my own little
collectionAttachments:
have not made a start on them yet , I have way too many models to work on for customers before I get to play with these models
thanks Bertel for that information I have left them as polished metal ,I will post an update later this week of the finished products
Peter , that is going to be a wonderful way to expand the availability of some
hard to get parts , thank you for your efforts.hi Michael , to get the two parts back together I drilled out the holes the pins had to go into just enough so the fit was loose then glued into place and clamps used for wood work to lock it all together . Glad you like my humble effort I have a couple more to restore one day hopefully be even better .
Hi Bertel ,
thanks for the information I use a similar method but use split pins as the source of
the new pillar , lots a different sizes (width) , one curved edge and one flat . I too managed to obtain from Peter one of those catalogues , love it , makes restoration and purchases a lot easier .
