Best restoration so far! Thanks for your help in getting me interested in this hobby.
Thank you, John! And good luck with starting out 😉
Better than new. One of my favourite castings....always liked thd Matchbox cranes for some reason. Nice tip about shortening the screws....top marks to the guy who gave you that hint. Simple ideas like thst are just genius! Love the resto and looking forward to the next one.
It's because of tips and tricks from subscribers that I learn tons of new things. The cranes always look nice, indeed. Thanks for the kind words!
You've certainly mastered paint application. Looks great.
Well it certainly doesn't feel like that at times, but I keep on learning new things everytime! Thanks for following the episodes!
Fantastic restoration - terrific paint job - thanks for sharing your tips!
Thanks, Paul! Thanks for following the episodes! Most of my tips come from people that commented on my videos, so credits to them!
The paint job just pops. Great work!
Thanks! Pretty happy with the colors myself 😊
You get better with every restoration. Great job keeping the colors matched on all those parts. I learned that on my Pontiac GP I did painting the doors separate from the car. Somehow I ended up with different shades of red.
On my Pontiac GP resto, the doors came out the same shade, but the red ended up being too dark on the whole car, when I used a grey primer. I'll have to strip it back and do it again. Another model I did, #51 trailer came out the right shade of red, using the famous Tamiya fine white primer.
Sometimes I get lucky, sometimes I have to redo it. It's part of the process. But we can only learn from it by trying different things, so that's what I do.
Nice resto sir and that tip about using the angle iron is just way too cool!! Thank you!
Thanks, Richard! I'm glad Motormodelsports shared their idea and I hope I did my share to spread the word 😅
This is one of the most beautiful restorations I've ever seen great job sir
Wow, thank you for the kind words!
Your restorations are great, thanks for sharing your channel with all of us!...Bill
Thanks for the kind words, Bill! Always nice to hear some positive feedback!
With all the diverse parts, this was certainly a difficult restoration. Still, you did a great job and took tremendous attention to detail. The result was truly fantastic.
Thank you, Bryan. That was indeed the most challenging part of the project, getting all parts the same color.
Very cool. I have not seen this casting before.
Thanks!
Great memories, nearly 50 years ago. What a feeling, thanks for this video.
Interessant model, ik heb deze nog niet eerder gezien! die cilinder is heel leuk gedaan! Weer een zeer geslaagde restauratie!
Dank je! Ik ben ook best tevreden over deze. Groetjes!
Looks beautiful. Great restoration.
Thanks!
Nice. Very authentic restoration
Thanks, Tony!
The jig for reducing the length of the screws is a great idea.....I will be doing that myself.
Great job on the resto as usual.
I really enjoyed this video.
Thank Modelmotorsport for that! Glad you enjoyed the video! Stay tuned for more!
Looks superb! Excellent job!
Thank you, Paul! Stay tuned for more!
Totally loved this one and that tip for the screw - brilliant!
Thank Modelmotorsports for that! Thanks for the kind words!
Nice job like always. I remember having one of these when I was a kid. Now if I can only find it.
Thanks! Great to bring some memories back!
Great restoration, keep up the great work, looking forward to another custom job.
Thanks Sean! I'll be thinking about doing another custom. Stay tuned 😉
Awesome, good for another 50 years, well done.
Haha, Steven, let's hope so! Thanks!
Very nice restoration. And great idea by your subscriber. I'll use that tip on my modeltrains... Keep 'em coming!
Thanks, Roderik! I'm really thankful for people that take the time to share some of their tips and tricks. It helps me a lot and I hope I can help many others in return.
I have been watching your videos for a while now and you are getting better with every one. The crane turned out AMAZING. Just a suggestion to get a set of pliers just dedicated to straightening out your castings that have rubber on the jaws as to not leave teeth marks on the casting. Just a thought. Have a great day!
Good advice. I'll be looking for some of those pliers. Thanks for the kind words and stay tuned for more to come!
the final effect looks great. well done.
Thanks, Jorge! Glad you like it!
very pretty model mate, good work
Thanks! A bit of a challenge, but it turned out okay 😇
I have perhaps 20 Matchbox 'Heavy equipment projects that I hope to get around to one day.
Looking forward to watching those projects come to life!
Nice Work...Looks Great!
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Great job, thanks for sharing.
Thanks a lot! Nice to see you following the episodes!
Looks great!👍🏻
Thanks, Martin!
Sharp piece of work!
Thank you, Paul!
Great video with great tips. Thanks. Do you use an airbrush with rubber 'o' rings? Does the Tamyia Acrylic paint damage them?
Hi Martin. I use a cheap airbrush so it probably has rubber o-rings. So far so good, but I've heard people have issues with them after a while. We'll see. Thanks for the kind words!
That looks really nice!
Thanks!
Looks great. Thanks for sharing
Thanks Charles! Glad you like it!
Nice Restoration
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Very nice job. Have you thought about colour-washing the wheels to brighten them?
Thanks, Mik! I thought about it, but never applied it to my restorations. I might try it in a future video.
looks great. did you fix the hook or buy a new one?
I bought a new one from model-supplies.co.uk. Thanks!
Greetings again from South Africa, Thank you, wow that turned out great, take care
Thanks, Val!
Fantastique!
You are very adept!
I have several of these to restore.
The same model? Cool! Thanks for the kind words!
Looks great!
Thanks man 😉
Great Resto fella, and you went with Yellow, now there's a surprise HaHa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haha, sorry 😅 One day I might go crazy with the colors, but I probably will put a "CUSTOM" tag on it the last minute before I upload it 😂
Great idea with the thinner to find the true colour
I was surprised how much it changed the appearance of the color.
Cool casting!
Thanks, Jonathan!
Looking pretty spiffy!
Had to look up "spiffy", but thank you 😊
Excellent!
Thanks, Bonnie!
Nice job!
Thank you!
Superbe. N'y a t'il pas moyen de sécuriser ton outil à la base de ta drill press quand tu perces les faux-rivets? Parce qu'à un moment donné, ça bouge tellement que tu risque de passer à côté.
Je vais cherchez pour une solution pour ca. Merci pour le conseil!
Marvelous
Thanks again, Scott!
You missed the details, the lights, the grade on the front, more details = more beautifull, great video...Like
I didn't really "miss" the details, I choose to get it in the original state. It's a personal choice in my projects. But thanks for the kind words!
A+!
Thanks 😉
Que buen modelo, saludos !!
Gracias!
Very nice
Thanks, James!
Thanks, James!
Nice job. I have one of those but mine is missing the crane boom. I've had it for 50 years.
Weer een prachtige kraan geworden, dus hijsen maar weer!...En dan bedoel ik geen Belgische pintjes natuurlijk he!,...;-) Geetings from the Netherlands
Haha, bedankt! Hij kan er weer tegen! Groetjes uit België.
Chicks Dig Matchbox vehicles!
I had to remove my doorbell at some point of this restoration. Couldn't get any work done... 😂
Matchbox Restoration It’s like that for me when I work on my quadcopters. 🤷🏻♂️💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻everywhere!!!
Het ziet er bijna uit als een grote tractor, met een achterstevoren, op het dak gemonteerde, kraan.
Had je nog nagedacht over mijn aanbod van de DeLorean, welke ik je via facebook aangeboden had?
Ja, ik heb je net een PM gestuurd 👍
Dit model heb ik ook.
Eigenlijk maar de helft.
Ik mis het kraan gedeelte en bandjes.
Het contra gewicht is van de mijne rood.
Het rode contragewicht werd later toegevoegd. Je zal dus een iets jongere versie hebben.
Zou goed kunnen
I wish the new ones were all metal and had moving parts like this, Now there mostly plastic, but I guise they have to if they want to keep the $1 price.
This one looks odd but its very accurate the the real vehicle.
Yes, I know what you mean. Some look very close to the original, some are a real compromise.
Excellent work linked that a lot .
Great tip buy one yur subs
Thanks, Martin! I find tons of great advice in the comment section. Very thankful for that!
I was looking at the newspaper in the paint stripping scene, trying to figure out what language it's in out of idle curiosity, when I noticed the one English word on the page: "Mindfuck". I really want to know what the heck that article was about now. :)
ZGryphon Lol, I had to read it myself to be able to tell you. The article is about words that aren’t in the dictionary, but that should be created for some situations. The word “mindfuck” was mentioned because it hasn’t a real translation in Dutch. 😉👍
@@MatchboxRestoration Ha, that's great. Thanks for checking. Great channel, btw. I recently stumbled across this whole concept of people restoring 1:64 diecast on YT, and it's really scratching an itch. I had a substantial collection of the old Lesney MBs when I was little.
nice work, I'm not very familiar with this model.
Thanks, Ben! Others also have said they aren't familiar with this model. I didn't think it was rare or something... I hope it isn't 😅
Nice resto . . . isn't the hook backwards? 😉😉
I think Time Rixer is right. The hook seems to be backwards. Great Restoration though!!!
@@davidparker8221 Actually, if you look at photos on the internet, it was backwards in the "before" state. But Nick and I "talk" a great deal on FB and I couldn't resist the urge to "bust his chops" a bit. This is beautifully done, as is everything he does! He and I are planning a couple of like restos in the coming days, not the same castings but similar castings.
Thanks, Time Rider and Dave 😉Time Rider sure did a great job to "bust my chops". I immediately went online to see if I made a mistake 😂But the hook is just fine. Anyway, always nice to get feedback. Don't hesitate to let me know what you think!
Where did you get the hook?
I got it from model-supplies.co.uk They have a lot of parts and decals!
proportions matched in a spot - exactly 3 drops of x7
Sometimes I get lucky, sometimes it takes hours 😂
For the crane you could have hung it on a wire.
Great advice! I'll keep it in mind for the next time I come across that situation!
Hi from England
There's a few in here making Utube videos on doing these matchbox models....and it looks like a nice hobby and craft...
I'd be no good at it...as I'm too heavy handed and it'd all just turn into a yellow blob with wheels on it...
Too fiddly for me...
Hi Glenn! I hear that from a lot of friends when I show my projects. "You really like to fiddle, hu?" It does takes some patience at times.
@@MatchboxRestoration
All my stuff is antique machine tools...
I started a channel highlighting the cars I have restored over the past year .check it out
Cool! I'll have a look!
Seems that you forgot to use the tire wash. But the result is still impressive.
I haven't used that technique before. Would you like to see the tires in better shape (more black) on the restorations? I'm not sure to include it, but let me know what you think.
@@MatchboxRestoration I think it could help in some restorations, and here the tires seemed to be a little worn out. But it's not a big deal, I still like what you do.
The repetitive background Musak drives you mad.
Sorry about that. Some love it, some hate it. Removing the music does create a whole different atmosphere... I don't know if I should do it. What do you think?
Nice video, but you could probably lose the ‘70’s porn soundtrack background music.
I'm an 80's kid, never heard such soundtracks from the 70's 😅
H😄! H😄! H😄!
😊
Praat je ook wel eens nederlands?
Yeah, sure. Soms gebeurt dat wel eens... 😇
Could do without the crappy music.
Would you suggest no music, or just different music? I tried no music, but that gives the video a whole different atmosphere when I'm not talking.
@@MatchboxRestoration It just sounds like 70s porn background music to me . Just my opinion. I know you can't please everyone. Believe me I know.
