- This 50 year old model was going to be difficult. With it's multiple parts and obvious damage I surprised myself by taking it on! - I made a few mistakes along the way but as they say.."You can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs!" - The end result is a beautiful model which is going to look great in my collection. I am so glad that I didn't give up half way through but instead, struggled through the difficulties to come up trumps at the end. Let me know what you think and thanks for watching!!
Cracking video and restoration love it love it love it. FYI the “Sunroof” is so the driver can see the crane jib and load when lifting.
Now I think about it that makes perfect sense! Thank you!
Only you would take the more damaged of the two models and say “challenge accepted”! Then make it look better than when it came out of the factory. You are a true Matchbox Necromancer; resurrecting dead models that others would have chucked. Thank you you for a great video on a Sunday morning.
Really good job on that one. You have the patience of a saint and the mouth of a sailor.
😂
Extraordinary work once again. A pleasure to watch from start to finish. Thank you
Painting the handles, hinges and radiator cap silver was a brilliant idea. Makes the model look more authentic to the real thing.
Marty: “I’m gonna do a restoration.”
Me: “Dude, that’s not a restoration, that’s a resurrection!”
All hail Marty! King of the Restos!
MatchstalkMan agreed
With all respect (I like Marty too), you might wanna watch Paul restorer, a guy from poland that even manufactures plastic parts 😉

Concuerdo con usted, Paul realiza increíbles trabajos
Great rehabilitation job! I always enjoy seeing the paint color on your fingers after you finish coating the parts. I couldn't have resisted painting the tail lights red on this one! Cheers.
Lovely restoration of that model. Love that cheeky Kevin.
Great job. That yellow is absolutely spot on.
Excellent restoration!
Thumbs up!! Awesome work Marty!..as always! Always appreciate watching your videos beginning to end. ❤️
An OUTSTANDING restoration job!!.. Looks better than it did when it left the Lesney Factory!!.. All of the trials and tribulations you went through paid off handsomely!!.. Keep up the great work Bud!!
Excelente vídeo. Mais uma bela restauração. Aula perfeita.
Well, it's like my brother used to say, "When you f--k sh!t up, you really f--k sh!t up!" lol. Despite all the set backs and obstacles on this one though, you managed to pull off an incredible restoration as usual! I guess some cats always land on their feet! Honestly, I loved this video, and you ability to take things in stride, and overcome all of the problems that this model offered up is inspiring! Things were broken, bent, you didn't have the paint you wanted, you doused the stickers in water, and yet you still came up with a masterfully restored Matchbox. You're truly an amazingly dude! Add in your witty sense of humor, and its no wonder that you're the best Matchbox restorer on TH-cam! You're always fun to watch, and I always look forward to your videos, Marty! Thanks a bunch!
Loston, thank you so much for this comment. it really inspires me to continue to upload content when I hear such positive feedback. At the moment I am moving house and so will be off line for a few weeks, I am frustrated that I cannot get things done. I will be back soon , and hopefully you and others will continue to watch and enjoy my content well into the future. Thank you! Marty.
What a beautiful job. Well done, Sir!
Nightmare is an understatement, Marty - - I would have pitched this one across the garage at least three times (and stabbed it with a fish as well)! You're to be congratulated on your patience. You've every right to be pleased with yourself. 😎
Brilliant restore, Marty. Glad you didn't fill that weld - it looks very cool. There is a Japanese word, 'Kintsugi', which means something like 'Golden Joinery', where pottery was repaired with gold, so it stood out, and made the repair as beautiful as the original object. That cool weld is similar to that.
Hi, Marty! Nice to see you doing actual restoration videos. To quote some guy on the Internet, "I'm happy with that!" Your unboxing videos are fun and all, but they seem to outnumber the restoration videos which are the reason I come here.
Well done, Marty! Thanks for including your "broken eggs" as well. They add to the value of the story, at least in my opinion.
“Man stabbed with fish” must have been a Swordfish. Excellent work, it turned out great, keep up the good work.
Then he could have been cut up with a sawfish. :-)
must have sting-ed good, Ray!

or a knife fish
I wonder if the victim went to a 'Sturgeon'?
Exceptional work, Marty! Looks like it’s ready for an antique machine show n shine.✨ It might be time you gave Kevin a dose of his own medicine. Hrs gotten the best of you quite a few times now.😁 Thanks for all your hard work. Have a great and safe week.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
A rather complicated model, but well restored the Marty way - excellent job sir! As for soldering, remember: the bigger the blob, the better the job.
Your trip hopefully is still on?
@@BigLisaFan Howdy Clare! The fine folks at FanExpoCanada say everything is still on for the Expo in late August, but I recall reading in the Toronto Sun that the province of Ontario has banned all gatherings over 25,000 until August 31, so that would cancel the Expo. Have not been able to confirm if that still applies. I'm still planning on coming to the GTA if FXC happens as scheduled. Hope you're doing well.
@@feralcatbrothers Doing well. So far the province is allowing a whopping 10 people! Have not heard anything more though but will keep an ear out.
@@BigLisaFan Yeah, I heard that too - and now people can HUG! woo-hoo! Yes, please let me know if you hear anything.
I love the idea of using a piece of tile to work on.
Yet another great makeover by the legend himself Marty! 🙂❤🇨🇦
Long time viewer and love them all. One day I’ll get to my collection and send you a few. But the reason I’m commenting is about the mounting system for your hemostats. It gave me a great idea for my tool bench for a completely different item. Goes to show that your channel is more than just a matchbox channel! Thanks Marty and take care
Another splendid resurrection! I love how you pick out the details like door hinges with silver paint. That makes your models "pop!"
Thanks Marty for this new video. As always, you have done an excellent job. Compliments.
Thanks Carlo , my pleasure.
Looks very well. Ok, the paint wasn't what you wanted but I certainly think you got lucky with the colour. The windows came up remarkably well. The Muggy Weld looks like a godsend!
I had a feeling this one would become quite a sweary business but these things are sent to test us...
Good looking model, lovely job!
Love the little touches at the end!
You do makeovers after all! make them look their best!
Love your work, Marty. Have a good day!
As always, this vid gets a LIKE before it even starts.
another great restoration
Super restoration Marty !! Really like how this turned out .... 👍
Another difficult, seemingly impossible, restoration, with amazing results. We could use more people with your talents in government - facing the difficult bits with imaginative and creative solutions, following through with confidence and a steady hand, and taking justifiable pride in a job well done! Its a shame that a LIKE is the best we can award...................someone suggest a greater accolade - maybe "Delirious with Admiration"................................
Marty's you should be proud. You did a nice job welding that model up I would have tossed it. Cheers!
Wow, that was a wreck! You really did an outstanding job of restoring this model. I had one of these too and it was my favorite. I always like the Matchbox construction and military vehicle the best. By the way the Tamiya Lacquer Thinner can be used in the Tamiya Acrylic paints too. I have not tried it myself but friends of mine have used it and it speeds up the drying time and gives the paint a slightly harder finish.
Utter genius mate with the bits you had to weld and the finished article is amazing. Great gag reel at the end too chap 😁😄😆
Hi Marty, The right Man for a Tough job , turned out nice in the end. All the best Brian 🤗
13: 33 You should be proud of your efforts, you make a lot of people smile!
That yellow is stunning! Great work as always Marty
Fantastic job Marty 👍🏻👍🏻
Excellent work Marty. The welding work was good. Nice to see there is an option for big repairs. I like the silver details. Just adds a little something.
Fantastic job Marty absolutely amazing..and great job welding...
Loved it. I just picked up this same crane yesterday (6-13) at an flea market. Loved the regular but the king size is so nice. Great job in overcoming all those mishaps and shame on Kevin for giving you hot hands.
Did "Her-indoors" repossess the tomato sauce bottle? I liked that idea for the paint stripper. Next thing she'll want her toothbrush back.
Stephen Howton Didn‘t Kevin nick that bottle for his food truck project?
Bloody Kevin!
Just as well we love him.
Now suddenly, I'm singing an old Christmas song I haven't heard since 1983! *"What are we gonna get, for 'er-indoors"* th-cam.com/video/UCf0JaCfNu8/w-d-xo.html
Excellent job Marty, my compliments to you on a job well done! Great repair work, thank you for the tip on the "Muggy Weld", a great product for repairs on these small items! Overall, a very enjoyable & informative video! Thank you for the entertainment!
another beauty to add to your collection!
Had one of these when we were kids growing up in the early 70’s. Beautiful job making it look like new. Bravo!
Marty, you always do a fantastic job with your makeovers. This one may be your best. I really enjoyed watching you work on this model. Tell Kevin, "watch it we got our eye on you". lol Have a good one from Kentucky, USA.
Superb. Came out really well. These King Size models are great, with many working features. I got fooled by the stickers too. That was on a Major Pack M2. The York Freightmaster trailer and Bedford TK prime mover - the other variant with the silver prime mover and maroon trailer. The stickers are plastic or vinyl, and good quality - better than paper stickers. The looks of the Jumbo Crane reminds me of the Tractor in the Forbidden Planet movie.
Hey Marty. Very pleased to have finally discovered your channel. So many of your restorations are on models I had as a child. I look forward to looking through your videos. Cheers Mike.
Thanks Mike, Welcome aboard!
I think you may get best neat results from your spring punch when mushrooming axles if you grind them square flat the end instead of leaving with he rough cut done with the piano string cutter pliers.As always awesome result.
Thanks for the tip!
Great weld job, you surely did an awesome rebuild
What a great surprise! Was just turning off the telly and heading off to bed and got your notification. Sleep's for wimps! The lad and I stayed up to take this in. Lovely and challenging makeover. 😁👍👍 Good night!
From the scrap heap to the show room. Great work Marty, you got another winner. Stay safe!
i like the visible joint on the crane base where you fixed it, gives it a bit more detail in that area of the model.
Fantastic results.
Trust me, Marty: those hemostats are lifesavers! I've gotten gel paint stripper on my fingers trying to restore model cars and it burned like the dickens (well, more irritated the skin, is more like it).
With hemostats, the piece I'm setting aside temporarily is held in the jaws of locking hemostats and not budging until I want it to!
Another beautiful job from the master
Amazing restoration, Marty !!!!!!!!!!!!!
This makeover is a masterpiece! Lovely result!
I have to say I didn't think this would come out as well as it did. Nice work!
This one gave you a bit of trouble... Great job on the welding. Looks really good. Thanks Marty
Terrific make over. Looks a million dollars! Sweet...
Have watched many of your makeovers most of the models you have done I had in my toy box many years ago, has brought back so many memories, but wished my parents hadn't chucked out my childhood. Could of given you so many cars for spares or repair..
Wow, beautiful job
That was a good save, I love the detailing that you did with the silver paint.
Nice Job Marty ! Congratulations !
Good work Done 👌
.
Thumbs up 👍
👏 👏
Looks good! Great work.
Really well done!
😁Hi Marty & Company!
I just wanted say thank-you for these video makeovers! I love 'em.
Excellent job, it is bettet than new!!!!
Job well done. The colour really stands out.
Let's just say that is master at work anyone they could do that to resurrect deserves applauds Kudos my friend thank you
I think I would have used far more foul language when the chassis snapped in my fingers. Great job once again.
Beautiful job Marty! I truly love your meticulous way of doing things. I do hope your hand heals quickly after what Kevin did... 🐨
I really like that weld!
Great crane work, Marty. Enjoyed it very much!
Always look forward to seeing the headlines on the newspaper liner you use in your spray cabinet!
Super job, Marty. Those welds turned out really well.
Really nice resto Marty great job on original problems but also the additional weld you had to do due to the snapped chassis, love the finish nice work 👍😁
Just brilliant, as always.
I believe the "A" is the position marker that was in the mold.
Just restored one of those myself. Lovely job mate.
great job, well done...
in my childhood I owned one too, after 50 years it's lost in space...😃
Lost in Space eh? Was it stolen by Kevin's hero Dr Zachary Smith?
You know you can look for it in ebay, right? 😉
@@micuentaparaforosycosas3484 yes, you are right...
Excellent model marty love the paint finish and what a jigsaw the model is
Looks like new. You did a fantastic job with this King size model.
Excellent job all round, super work with the welding, really good to know there is such a thing available. I really liked this one and all the challenges that
went with it, must admit I was a little surprised the headline was not" Kevin gets stabbed with fish" following the stunt he pulled off! Take good care and be well.
Fantastic job. Nice patience you have sir
Great work Marty!
Must say you did a top job!
Excellent!
I love the newspaper headlines! I see Kevin couldn't resist himself today!
A nicely detailed model....
I like the silver highlights you've added to this model. Nice job all around..
very nice finish. touch and go a couple of times, but you stuck the landing.
i think you are getting pretty good at using that welding/solder stuff.
one thing, instead of relying on what was left of the rivet you might consider putting a screw and maybe a washer for where the crane is fitted to the chassis to cinch it up a bit.
I love these videos with all the doom and gloom its nice to sit down and dive in to a nice model restoration super satisfying
Always look forward to you posting. 👍
I enjoy all your videos beautiful work
Very good job. Congratulations. Fron Argentina
You did an awesome job on this one. Junked to glorious.
