  • Thought I would do up a couple of Matchbox Lesney racing cars. They turned out pretty nice. I could not do one without the other as they were bought as a pair and have probably been together for the last 50 years or so!

    Excellent video, I love reading the newspaper headlines in the spray box. Particularly the "Chimp's head out on a human" which when blocked by a paint pot becomes "MP's head out on human" A Marty classic.
    Another terrific Matchbox renewal as well !

    I think you could retro-fit anything !!! Amazing how you fabricate missing/broken parts and pieces !!! A labor of love for sure !!!

    I was stuck on cutting the numbers for these two cars and look what I find... Marty to the rescue! Picked up a set on hollow punches and the decals came out great! Awesome tip Marty!

    Your colour matching and spray painting are, well, unmatched. Incredible eye for hues. Marty for President!

    @twoblacklabs904 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    They’re racing hard in “Martinsville!” Great job, Marty. The colors are beautiful. I may have sanded down the sharp edges of the new front “tires” (made from those washers) to get them to look like original Matchbox rubber, but other than that minor detail, another spectacular pair of restored cars saved from the race car graveyard. Great craftsmanship...

    Really good Marty. I am five years old again, Jim Clark is driving my BRM, The Grand Prix is playing on the telly live from Silverstone and the noise of the cars on the telly is in my ears. I can feel it all now.

    @kathyflorcruz552 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Couldn't sleep last night so went from watching many Megabatti bat rescuer videos to Marty's Restorations. Both of you are terrific.
    Great rescues & restorations in Australia. One to save the past, on to ensure the future.
    But after all this video binging I'm heading off to buy some lettuce seeds & Qtips.

    @rdk_metalmelter1250 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Marty! I'm a Matchbox fan since the early '60s, living in New Holland, Pa. You have a great restoration video channel! I build mainly 1/25 scale plastic car and truck kits now, and have also restored or reworked Matchbox and Hot Wheels vehicles. One detail I always do to my models is to black wash grilles and openings, and add flat black to some areas. Since you add some silver to the grilles and other areas, a slight flat black wash would really make them pop. I love your work, and having a supportive wife is awesome! Thank you!

  • @John-vu8bo
    @John-vu8bo 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Marty! What a great idea to work on two at a time. Since you have all the decals printed, paint mixed, and wheels made, you should make 5 or 6 at a time and sell the others to us fans of your show!

  • @sonofagunner50
    @sonofagunner50 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm very grateful for your superglue/baking soda fix, Marty. It saved my favourite pair of glasses, which I inadvertently sat on. Good as new (or even better!?) thanks to your technique. Cheers!

  • @captaincoyote1792
    @captaincoyote1792 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    My God, Marty....I am constantly amazed at some of your solutions to restoration challenges....in this video, the broken exhaust. When watching these, and you initially identify a “challenge”, I try to think “how would I address that?”. An inflating needle would never have crossed my mind! Outstanding, amigo! Incidentally, I have all of my Matchbox cars (200+) from my and my brother’s childhood in storage. These Formula racers were some of my favorite....planting an interest that has lasted all of my 64 years. If memory serves, I also had a red Ferrari....complete with the “prancing pony” emblem. I am going to have to open the sealed boxes where my cars are stored to investigate....and visit the idea of restoring them. (The three of them would look nice displayed on a stained walnut base!) Another well-deserved “Bravo-Zulu” for an especially enjoyable video!

  • @johnkelley9877

    In these educational videos; the one thing I learned is that, you have to follow step-by-step instructions. Especially in the very way when it comes to restoring Matchbox or Hot Wheels toy cars.

    It may be a small corner of the internet, but Marty really is Grand Lord of Matchbook restoration.

    Proof that the best complement is copying the masters work.

    I have a Matchbox Raceway set that I recieved as a lad years ago. It uses regular house current ( here in the states it's 110v) with a small transformer. Two small motor houses drive a long spring that gets put in the track when you put it together. A pin tapes to the bottom of the cars to drive them around the course. I had two of the green cars and spent hours running them.

    It unfair to choose a favorite Matchbox Makeover as each offer unique challenges... but this video is awesome! I'm real happy with your driver helmet and would keep it like that! I don't skip any step watching each new video! Never change the music as it's making me calm and relaxed to watch each makeover! Would like to see a video of your collection cabinet now! Well done! I'm happy with that!
