Marty - BEAUTIFULLY DONE! This model is one year younger than I am! Absolutely love it! Great finishes, very well done! Thank you so much for this project, very entertaining!
It is hard to believe it is a toy over 70 years old. Once again you have taken a piece of toy history and restored it to how it originally looked. The model looks fantastic and the tailgate looked straight as an arrow That was a good idea to add a drop of oil to the screw as it will help in keeping the rust off. Thanks for making and sharing this tutorial.
In a book Savage Continent by Keith Lowe, there were stories about orphan children in Germany having a blast after WWII. It was horrible most of the time, but sometimes kids would play games others would dream about. For example, they were trying their luck avoiding mines in minefields, playing with leftover military equipment or even put an unexploded bomb into fire once. I wonder how they lived to tell a story, but some people have fond memories of after war (non)childish games.
Good video Marty, glad to see something from the last century and not from the 19th century! It looks really nice, not like a miniature truck/lorry but clearly a durable toy for children.
That tipper is one your best, Marty! Beautiful, original detail only made better by your makeover skills. Love the sand-blaster. Thanks and hope you and your family have a great week.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
A beautiful restoration, Marty.. The tipping system of this Dinky truck, which you have so carefully cleaned and lubricated, is simpel and at the same time an ingenious system, beautiful.
Great job Marty, I used to use a sand blaster weekly when I was In the United States Air Force. Basically was Rosie the riveter in the service. Really enjoyed airframe work. Now diecast restoration/customizing is my passion. Love the restoration and the fact you left the casting details, keeping it original
You do wonder who put these little toys together in the first place. Soldiers and service men back from the war? If so, it's an honour to consider that you are restoring something that had been so produced.
Outstanding!!! 🚚 As for your sandblaster plastic panel being pitted & cloudy, you can use furniture/plastic polish to fill the gaps & make it last longer. Used to do that to the shields on the lathe at the dental office where I worked.
Marty! What a beauty of a Restoration! That truck predates even me. ;o) Great modification of your existing techniques. Always a better way. Stay safe, Folks!
Hi Marty. I’m an Englishman living in Austria (no kangaroos in Austria) and have only recently discovered your channel. Bingeing now, so catching up. Lovely work and, as a 68 year old, you are bringing back so many memories. Well done.
There was also an olive green rubbish collector that could tip and with two sliding hatches on one side based on the same truck. What a lovely model this is and I think it is one of your best restorations yet.
Nice Job Marty. I have a Dinky I am getting ready to restore. An Austin Healey Sprite, I used to have a real one and I can't wait to get this little Dinky restored.
Beautiful model. What I'm impressed with is the tipper mechanism! Those tipper gears and such with the manufacturing technology they had then is amazing.
You got a sandblaster! Recommendation: Watching sandblasting is incredibly satisfying. That's a good zen moment to simply say nothing and let everyone watch the process in full.
Awesome video, beautiful resto job! 🤩 I like Dinky, Corgi and off course Matchbox from Lesney. Thank you Marty for this good time! 👍 (Look back over your shoulder & watch out Kevin! 😜) Hope see you soon in your dear channel
Dinky Toys was the brand name for a range of die-cast zamac zinc alloy miniature vehicles produced by Meccano Ltd. They were made in England from 1934 to 1979, at a factory in Binns Road in Liverpool.
Another lovely restoration Marty, I think I preferred the grill just black as well, but if that's how it was then so be it. The acid in lemon juice is what removes the rust Marty, I prefer vinegar though, a ding baking soda neutralises the acid and it won't work, use the lemons to make lemon curd, wonderful on hot to toast.
Hi Marty. Thank you for your channel which I have been watching for about 2 years now. You inspired me to get out the old box of matchbox cars I had in the shed and look at them, and in doing so rekindled my affection for them. I have been inspired by you to expand my collection, and have been restoring quotes few, referring mostly to your videos for guidance. I am now definitely a collector, but trying decide whether I am a collector of originals, or a restorers trying to get a good collection of restorations. I think you are the latter, and think I am too, but I would enjoy hearing your thoughts. Thanks you hours of entertainment, and some humour! Ashleigh
Excellent job mate. Looks fantastic. You could make lemonade with your lemon tree for the Australian summer time or make lemon preserve and call it "Julie's Jolly Jams" haha. Nice toy the sand blaster....
Hi Marty, besides Matchbox models I had a number of Dinkys as well. I had the sixties model of this truck and the tipper mechanism was of course great fun in the sandbox. I was born in 1953, so my childhood was in the haydays of Matchbox. So good to see my old toys on your channel.
Nice work on the Dinky Truck! And the sandblasting machine was a good investment it'll help you cut back on paint stripper a bit and I seen people use them to restore older toys in their videos and Nick's Toy Garage has one and he does some good work with it.
It's a rinky, DINKY doozy...Great job Marty keep up the good work always very interesting and enjoyable watching your videos, take care, greetings from the Isle of Man...
Cleaning Vinegar will do the trick as well. Takes a couple of hours, depending on how heavy the rust is, but it works a treat. No agitation necessary, but it always is worth a try.
Use walnut shells next time in your blasting cabinet. They will take the paint off but not damage delicate parts. Also it’s the citric acid that does the removal. Vinegar works as well. Nice restore and keep on keeping on. Grats from the US
Wow you surpassed yourself with this one Marty, Really enjoyed the video from start to finish, Also nice to see your mixing in a few of the other makes from the same time period because as kids we did not have any loyalty to a particular brand all we wanted was a nice interesting toy so we had what we had, Keep up the good work. Thanks for the vids.
high tech wow you up date your standard its amazing work really like your cam angle and effect nice sand blasting is cool toooo much ....i am happy with that ...lol
Hi Marty, I had one back in the late 40's , A very nice restoration took me back in my back yard with the Spitfires over head , Good old days , Thanks, All the Best Brian 🤗
Love to see the Model saved. 1st time ever not content with the silver and the bottom. This is scale 43. Deserves preservation of the original smooth black bottom by clear paint (colorless). Happyness with it from neckarcupdreddyfan.
Damn you! Lemon, great source of Vitamin C. I bring about 10 lemons a week from my parents house tree, extract the juice and freeze one part, the rest, I use it to cook. Meats, fish, drop three tablespoons of lemon in them while cooking, not only tastes great but protects you from colds. Haven't had one in 5 years!
Love. The. Tree. Wish. I. Had. One. So. Very. Sweet 👍😊. Brother. Love. The. Work. U. Do. Love. Watching. Your. Videos. Mary. Lee
Marty - BEAUTIFULLY DONE! This model is one year younger than I am! Absolutely love it! Great finishes, very well done! Thank you so much for this project, very entertaining!
This restoration was made possible by viewers like you. Thank you. 🚛🐨

You're a wonder! I might be an old girl but I love toy cars and trucks. I enjoy watching you bring them back to life and beauty.
Imagine the joy this would have bought to a kid that’s just been through the hardships of WWII

@@exlibrisas Really, it's amazing so many kids made it through their early years - but we weren't as coddled by helicopter parents either.
@@kathyflorcruz552 Good point.
A sweet little truck, and for its time a joy for any kid to play with.
Good video Marty, glad to see something from the last century and not from the 19th century! It looks really nice, not like a miniature truck/lorry but clearly a durable toy for children.
Great job Marty, paint job looks wonderful. Back to new.👍👍👍
A FANTASTIC restoration job!!... Looks better than it did when it left the Dinky Factory!!... Keep up the great work Bud!!
Awesome restoration of an beautiful, but well played and warn down little Tipper Truck. Now it looks better than factory fresh..
*Sandblasting for little die-cast vehicles, Marty would you ever think one day you would use that kind of tools? Bravo for the restoration! 👍👏👏👏*
That tipper is one your best, Marty! Beautiful, original detail only made better by your makeover skills. Love the sand-blaster. Thanks and hope you and your family have a great week.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
the restoration jobs keep turning out better and better!
What a finish Marty good things come in little glass bottles and tins. 👍like the sand blaster no more rushing to the tap.
My absolute favorite....stay healthy and best wishes!
A beautiful restoration, Marty.. The tipping system of this Dinky truck, which you have so carefully cleaned and lubricated, is simpel and at the same time an ingenious system, beautiful.
Oh boy! A Sandblaster. so satisfying. 👍

Colours look spot-on! Beautiful job.
You do wonder who put these little toys together in the first place. Soldiers and service men back from the war? If so, it's an honour to consider that you are restoring something that had been so produced.
Regardless of which brand has the vehicle you decide to restore, the result will always be absolutely exceptional!
You're number one Marty
Super. A vary attractive model in blue and yellow. Might be oldest model you have restored.
I like that you're branching out into brands other than matchbox for restorations.
That sand blaster is perfect for stripping paint. Awesome looking toy truck Marty!
I would have loved one of those when young. I still want it today.
Brilliant work
A super Dinky model Marty....absolutely my favourite of your restorations. What lovely toy for children...Incidentally 1948 was a vintage year!
Outstanding!!! 🚚

very nice mini bedford restoration
You do amazing work! Best resto/makeover channel I've seen. I like that you show mistakes,
Great restore. Always expert work on this channel. Thanks for posting. Goodbye.
22:13 That "plonk" made my day.
I always get a laugh out of the headlines in your paint booth.
Very nice the kids in the day would have loved this truck !! As we do now 👍❤️
Beautiful truck design. Great restoration
what a beautiful back garden!
Much respect from South-Africa.
HOWDY Marty! Thanks for posting all the great resto videos. Matchbox or Dinky, who cares. I like watching all. Keep up the great work.
Great video Marty. Glad to see your successful use of a sandblasting cabinet. Rather enjoy sandblasting videos! Cheers!!

Eccezionale restauro!👍👍
simply gorgeous!!! Thumbs UP!!
There was also an olive green rubbish collector that could tip and with two sliding hatches on one side based on the same truck.
What a lovely model this is and I think it is one of your best restorations yet.
The hatches were dark green! I remember that so well.
Nice Job Marty. I have a Dinky I am getting ready to restore. An Austin Healey Sprite, I used to have a real one and I can't wait to get this little Dinky restored.
A beautiful Dinky, a little before my time, but the fact remains that not many of us ripped models apart and stuck the corkscrew in our eyeballs.
I like the silver paint on the grill. Your videos are always great, Marty!
Utterly fantastic, 10/10 yet again!
Beautiful model. What I'm impressed with is the tipper mechanism! Those tipper gears and such with the manufacturing technology they had then is amazing.

Beautiful as ever. Keep up the good work
Nice job, again. Keep up this good work. I love it.
Beautiful restoration work.

Vinegar works just put in vinegar cover it and leave it over night. I do it all the time. Love the videos
Yay! 'Nother restoration video from MMM!!! I'm happy with that.
Brilliant makeover Marty, and a cool model. Keep up the good work

Hi Marty all ways like reading the head lines on the news papers. In the spray booth lol

Mr Hobby is the company. Mr Color is the product.
