MATCHBOX Restoration No 38c Honda Motorcycle and Trailer 1967

- This upload was a day late. I ran out of time to finish my voice over and then the next day my microphone failed! I got there in the end and , hopefully, as the saying goes, "Good things are worth waiting for!".
This is a 'two for one' video in that this combination included two models so I could not do one without the other. Both models had damage to repair and needed repainting. The Trailer also needed some new decals. There are a few new ideas presented in this video and also an experiment to see if Bronze wool burns like Steel wool.
I had great fun doing this makeover and I am very pleased with the overall end product. I hope you enjoy it! Marty.

This is the channel. This is my go-to channel for sheer relaxation and for getting "re-centered". I can't explain it, but it just works.
Green flame comes from copper in the wool. Copper atoms get excited and when they return to ground state, they emmit the green light
Weird Science!!!!
Man ya beat me to it. Yep coppers your culprit! Part of the alloy. 37% Zinc, 63% copper ish depending on what type of brass. Bronze is typically 88% copper 12% zinc
@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers Sorry, Marty, but you're no Kelly Le Brock!

Great job Marty, was wondering when you would get to do this one 😃
Great video Marty! when I was young there was no money for fireworks so we use to grab a steel wool tie it to a rope, set it on fire and throw it in the air like a lazo. Great times!
Congrats to you and your wife Julie for the great work!
With as much as you know about Matchbox models and how to restore them, have you ever thought of opening up a fix-it shop? I know it's a lot of work, but you seem to know more than anyone about restoring models. I am very deeply impressed with your work.
What a great project with parts being made to repair the trailer and bike ..The finish model looks brilliant and 5 star ..........
Great to see you added the kick stand. Bit off scale with the pull car,but very nice job bringing the bike and trailer back to life
In only three weeks I've gone from not knowing anything about the existence of Matchbox model restorations to wondering where this week's MMM video is. That alone speaks volumes to what you're doing and the quality of your productions, Marty. Thanks for all you do!
"Goes off like a frog in a sock", is my new favorite saying. Thanks Marty, another good restoration.Cheers from over the ditch
You're welcome Chris!
Super great repair on the trailer. Nice decals and kickstand. Another super restoration/build. With all the detail on the bike I might try a custom on one of mine. Thanks
I watch these videos just to read the gossip on the tabloid newspapers in the paint booth.
Keep these videos coming! I love the restorations with commentary.
This had to be one of the toughest you've done. Very creative. Never even knew there was a center stand on that bike originally!
A washer for grinding the nub of the axle is overkill. If you're REALLY worried about accidentally hitting the wheel, just throw a square of painters tape over it, and let the axle poke through.
Shut the fuck up
@@jamesvincent4472 wow, no need for rudeness dude.
Fabulous video mate and i love the snetterton bit at the end.. t fantastic restoration chap.
Cheers Ian!
Marty, marking 0 days accident free with the eyepatch cracked me up, I am also thoroughly convinced that your scenarios/stories at the end of your episodes contain the cure for cancer. Godspeed mate.
That looks sweet, Marty ! I actually like the fact you didn't paint the bike motor. It makes it look "Matchbox original". You're a true artist ! May the good Lord bless you today !
Great job! 2 things I would have done. Paint the bottom floor of the trailer grey and paint the handle bars black. Regardless, excellent work!
Thats an outstanding job on something others would have thrown away. 👍🏻. Well done mate. You get better and better.
MARTY , te felicito por tu excelente trabajo de restauración. Todos estos modelos matchbox de los 60 y 70 junté los 73 or 75 ..
me traes muchos recuerdos de mi infancia y luego los heredaron mis hijos .
de mas esta decir que los destruyeron .
te saludo desde mi país: Argentina
un gran abrazo.
Frog in a sock. That's one I haven't heard. Great job as always, Marty! Hard to believe the finished product looked like it did at the beginning.
Hello Marty.
Really cool Makeover 👍
My Girlfriend and i Love your accuracy!!!
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Green flame would be from the copper in the brass.
Yes, some metals will color flames. Copper (green) Barium (even brighter green), sodium (yellowish orange), Strontium (red), Bismuth (blue) and Magnesium or aluminium (bright white sparks) and Potassium (violet). These same metals are also used for coloring fireworks.
Bronze? Copper + Tin. Brass is softer Copper + Zinc. Both should produce green flame. Brass is more resistant to corrosion which is why it is used as bright work on sea going ships.
Mmmmh...that makes sense, thanks Neil!
@@RichardRenes In the right conditions, flames can even be black: th-cam.com/video/5ZNNDA2WUSU/w-d-xo.html

That little story at the end sounded like some personal experience! What a great lass you’ve got in Julie too! Not only donating her toothbrush, makeup brushes, those pad things etc, she now is your tyre shop too! Hope you took her out for a slap up treat!
I'm getting sort of what upset when; Marty never kept, a real koala as a house pet, he's getting to remind me of Bill Watterson's 'Calvin and Hobbs.' The little 8 year old boy Calvin; never kept a real tiger, as a house pet.😡😕😒😐😤🙃😡
My goodness. The instant flashback to my bedroom as a little guy playing with this toy was absolutely fantastic. I hadn’t seen or thought about the little Honda cafe bike in close to 50 years. Thanks so much.
Haha the same here!
This is one of your best, that drawbar was fantastic. But no bloopers at the end, did nothing go wrong this week.
The problem I see with the drawbar is that it covered up England where it was made.
Was starting to panic haha. Great resto... great to see your diversification of matchbox
Me too Jarrod. Especially this morning when my regular Mic packed in!!! - I thought it was my sound card but I plugged in a new wireless mic that I have got for my unboxings and luckily it worked as required!
I do not collect Matchbox cars , I am a railway modeller. But I enjoy watching each one of Marty's videos because they are very well done, and they are very relaxing to me. It is a kind of relaxing therapy to me. And you always learn a new technique. Well done , Marty, and thanks for sharing your videos.
The moulded detail on that wee Honda is amazing! And with its new coat of paint etc it is ready to be admired for the classic it really is. And the repaired trailer with its checker plate floor and axle leaf springs is a perfect match. Another top job🙂👍
Sounds like you have an eye for detail Anon, or a 75 inch TV to watch youtube on!!
@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers Ha! Ha! Thanks for reply. No, I'm not that lucky 😁👍 Great Channel & resto Mate! Regards to Colin.
This was one of your best yet Marty! Your attention to detail and enthusiasm win the day again. You are a Master Matchbox Craftsman!
Cheers Mike I appreciate your comment :)

Nice work, the tow bar remake came out well.
Awesome restoration. Looks like it came right out the box 👍🏽😎
You brought that trailer back from the dead, this could be your best one yet. Now you've tried customising on that Lightning you did last week, how about painting up the engine, exhaust, forks and seat the way they should be on a future motorbike?
Sounds like a plan!
One of your best!
Marty's Matchbox Makeovers and Science Experience.
I like the Opel Kapitan as well. You could have set the scene in Australia too, since it looks similar to a HR Holden. Your restorations are inspiring.
A frog in a sock, I laughed so hard when I heard you say that my son thought I was having a stroke, I had never heard that before.
:D
Bag of ferrets and my favorite like two polecats in a sack, both come to my sick mind.
My favourite is "Off like a bucket of prawns in the sun."
I had the volume down pretty low so thought he said a throttled Scot
Awesome restoration. Looks brand new, right out of the box!
Beautiful! and as a motorcycle fun, I like it more. High tech used too! Hats off!
One of your best old mate, this is the reason so many others try to copy you, keep up the great work.
Thanks Drop Bear I do try to be a little bit different now and again.
It is a very beautiful motorcycle. Greetins from Chile. 🏁🚦🙋👋👍
Thank you mamo, no too many watchers from Chile, please spread the word! Marty.
Hola buenas noches eres de Chile o hablas español si me puedes ayudar con unos que yo tengo gracias
@Mauricio Puerta Sí, yo soy de Chile y hablo español. ¿Que ayuda necesitas?
A very beautiful restoration.
Nice result with a brush and a firm hand
Really like it when you fabricate new parts. This model looks fantastic now. Thanks for sharing your skills.
Another beautiful job Marty! Well done, and thank you for sharing!
This has been the best video yet!! I love the fact of how much work and different applications you did to make it look great!! Thank you and keep up the great work!
WOW!! - I'm blushing here!
Thanks for posting another excellent restoration by you!
Great video Marty.
I see in the comments people saying you should've painted the details on the bike.
I think it would've looked cool with some of the details popped out with paint,
but the way you did it was a true restore, how it came out of box.
As always, excellent job! You do great work.
Why didn't you detail the motorcycle a little more? Paint the seat black and the engine silver.
Probably because the production model was not paint detailed at all.
Masterful job. Spectacular.
Congratulations!
I probably would've stopped at painting the tank, frame and seat...the buff of the bare metal on the bike engine, pipes and forks would've been near impossible for me to paint over...very nice natural patina.
Nice work.
Marty, I'm always impressed but the 3-D parts are wow. Love the headlines, thanks for that touch, Freddie Starr needs a lashing, poor hamster. LOL
But difficult ...the poor old bugger is dead...
Hi Marty, I Always put a little piece off maskingtape on top off the grindstone to prevent scrats the tires. nice video thank you and greetings from the Netherlands
Good tip VanGoor, thanks heaps!
Beautiful restoration! Excellent job making the replacement parts. Im a Die Hard Honda owner myself.
ha ha ha ! Love the sound of the crickets at the end ! LOL very nice job Marty. thank you
Oh, and by the way, your dental tools should have some small flats to them for adding and smoothing model filler. After all, dentists do the same when they are shaping your fillings. Well maybe not yours ... but you get the gist of it. Easier than using a toothpick.
We done again.. But on the finish bike, it might of been an idea, to paint the engine, & exhaust silver, just a suggestion on the next one..
I was thinking he was just going to leave most of the engine and tailpipe unpainted metal. Then do a black seat and 2 colors on the #7 sign.
I guess he wanted to keep it as close to original as possible. In the before restoration pictures, you can see the whole bike was painted. I thought it'd be neat if he left the engine in bare metal but I can understand why he didn't.
Thanks for another fascinating video! Your talents apparently know no bounds - terrific repairs and restoration. My only issue is that I watch these videos at 02.00 and then try to go to bed.....................but my mind keeps "racing", thinking over the wonders you accomplish.......................its no wonder that I can't drag my carcass from between the sheets on Sunday mornings. And NO, the obvious solution of waiting until Sunday morning to watch your latest content is NOT an option! i admit that I do not possess the self control to wait for anything as pleasurable................
Thanks for an awesome post George, sounds like you approve!
You are getting very sophisticated in recreating parts 👍
You've really outdone yourself with this one, Marty! Very well done!
I' happy with that! - Thanks mate!
I know you like to keep it original but can you do a custom on your next bike and paint the engine and exhaust metallic silver and give it a personal colour choice. Great video as always.
I promise I will, stay tuned!! ;)
Kent 10810 I would let the metal bare in the engine without any paint
Excellent fabrication...Looks perfect!
How can you not enjoy these restorations? Love it.
I’ve been having a bad week and seeing this upload made me smile, perfect timing. This made my day. Thank you Marty you gift from god you.
Great to hear that you liked it. Cheers!
Hope your current week is awesome mate hang in there.
Great job Marty. One of my favourite matchbox's. I still have my Honda from when I was a kid in the 60's (still with stand) and bought a new trailer for last year.
Sorry the colour might not be exact but I tried my best. Marty. :)
Very nice restore. The story at the end makes the whole video. Love it!
Excellent work! I am amazed at how smooth your brush paint ended up.
Brilliant video Marty. But I do think you could have done some more paint work on the engine
I think only a pre-production prototype had the bike in anything but a single color overall.
Brilliant choice for a Resto. What would we do without 3D printers, eh? 😁 If you ever do another of that bike, how about painting to represent how a track bike of the day would have looked? There'd be a lot of bare metal and few parts coloured. Just an idea.......
Fantastic job on this model. The stickers on the trailer look great, and the handlebars and centre stand for the motorcycle were great fixes!
Fantastic as always! One of the days you need to use the 3D printer to fashion a mold to cast you own replacement part in metal! I'm sure you can do it! But until then, you really are a master of this. Thank you for sharing.
I saw a brass wire brush the other day at the store, if you can find one you might try that too.
And you should really look into an SLA a.k.a. a resin printer. For the types of things you're printing, detail is king, and that's SLA's claim to fame.
Just to put the caustic soda debate to bed: you need a tempered glass dish or bowl. Regular glass can shatter from the sudden head change, any plastic will just meld and cause a hazard and using metal will cause reactions you don't want. So don't fear the soda. Just get the damn right bowl! :) Thanks again Marty for all your hard work. I always make time to sit and watch your videos. You're the kind of guy that one can just tell you have a hell of a lot of heart. A hell of a lot.
Thank you Adam
I am astounded by your skills. You are one of the best. I’m just getting into the hobby and have a couple of restorations under my belt. I can only hope that I can do half as good a job as you.
I'm really impressed with that 3d printer.. fantastic :)
Freddie Starr ate my hamster, that’s going back a bit, do you collect old newspapers
Quedo estupenda, como siempre un maestro. Felicitaciones... como jugue con esa moto cuando niño...
Incredible makeover! Best yet.
Oh! Thank goodness! I think I was going through withdrawal.
I wouldn't want that to happen Eric, I need my regulars to keep me motivated, thanks!
Great work, Marty! It was a pleasure to watch and the end model was a sight to behold.
Judging by the paper, all kinds of funky occurrences happen in Australia, huh Marty?
The Sun is a UK paper if that is the one your are referring to
I have one of these, bought for me by my father when I was a child. He used to buy me a different model every week at a small town he passed through on his way back from a part of his job which required him to travel out of the city where we lived. As I was a little girl & didn't take these outside to bash around & leave in the rain, but just displayed them on shelves in my bedroom, all my tiny cars are in mint condition. However, my mother gave this wee motorcycle to my baby sister to chew on, & she swallowed the kickstand. Fortunately, she didn't aspirate it into one of her lungs! I would give anything to be able to get a replacement after all these years (this happened in 1969). I would be willing to pay for one of the little black ones, as well as for postage, as I live in Canada. Your work is beyond amazing! Love your channel! 🛵
send me an email with your address, Ill see what I can do. Marty
Well painted by hand Marty. I've got the Opel that pulls the trailer.
Could have painted more details on the moto, anyway, great job buddy.
Could have but that's the way it was sold.
I was wondering why he didn't do the details too but
he was keeping true to it.
I'm not a motorcycle guy but watch a lot of restoration shows.... It does look odd seeing a painted engine and tailpipe. They live for that shiny chrome work.
Matchbox did another later Honda bike with a separate chrome-plastic engine. It was done as a racer and as a police bike.
I love your channel and this motorcycle is my favourite
Thanks Kanavy, great to hear that this is your favourite. :)
That very fine ribbing as the printer made the new draw bar gives it a nice milled edge look
Another one of Marty's Matchbox Miracles!
I would like to see a tour of your collection of matchbox vehicles.
One day soon Allan probably a mid weeker, I am thinking.
Me too, Mate. 😂👍
A technique used to find small objects dropped on the ground:
Use a vacuum hose ( up right, or shop vac ), Cover the end of the vacuum hose with loose pantyhose (rubber banded and place), and vacuum. Check the end of the vacuum hose to see if the pantyhose caught anything. Good luck, Cheers
Like so he'll see this. Thanks
An old modeler's tip for when the carpet monster attacks.
SEEN! - Thanks for the tip, Marty.
Never seen this channel before. Enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for uploading. 😁👍🏻🇬🇧
300leothelion one of the best channels on here for diecast cars etc, marty was the first one of 3 that got me into doing them myself
Loads of respect to these guys 💯%
Terrific job, very well done. 🇬🇧
Thanks Tony!
"Freddie Starr ate my hamster" lol
The headlines are my favorite part of the video.
One time it said donkey robbed a bank
In a different video
First one!!! Looking forward to this all day
I beat u by a minute!
@@browndoggyntnt4590 :-)
Not quite Clare but very close! - Thanks for watching! Marty.
Awesome story time to go with the awesome model🔥🔥🔥 thanks for sharing Marty
What a work of art.
Thanks Doug!
Fantastic job 👍👍👍👍👍 (I'm officially jealous 😁😁😁)
Is KEVIN still underway in that russian aircraft?
I thought, he would steal the finished motorbike and take it for a quick-spin or ride it to the Nullarbor plains to rob the "Cuisine" of the "Indian Pacific" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Paul Sparr he has created a monster with Kevin. Now you’re actually waiting for him and then NO, Kevin acts like a Cross Teenager and lock himself in the bathroom.
@@TheDarthMushroom 😂😂😂👍
As long as KEVIN don't steal Martys mobilphone, make a hundred foolish "selfies" in the bathroom and post them on the web, well........... I'm happy with that...😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks Paul. Kevin should be back mid week I think!?
Nasty mental picture...
Marty yelling through the House...
KEVIN, STOP SPANKING THAT KOALA!
@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers Oh, by the way......
One of your next makeovers should be a POLICE-CAR......
So you're able to "arrest" Kevin when he tries to steal more eggs for "upcoming airraids" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You're such an amazing storyteller! Fantastic job, I'm so impressed of your work, mate! Thanks again for sharing!
Love your vids, simple and unique and packed with details
Always love your work. I was hoping the chrome engine and exhaust would stay chrome
Love the final result Marty! That one came out very nice!
That brush is known as a "rigger", as it's used in art for painting things like fine rigging on ships. Great restoration Marty
That's fantastic. Nice draw and kickstand you did
A fantastic result and good show all around 🏆🏆🏆
Cheers mate, thanks for the feedback.
