Thats a nice simple delivery van. Very nice restoration to a better than factory fresh condition. Sometimes i wish these old models would be modernised with windows and interieur and sold again...
I bet that cats cold someone shaving the poor thing 🤣 nice job Marty looks nice and shiny again can you imagine buying it brand new as a child and the first opening of the box …absolute heaven 👍
I'm watching your channel since the very beginning and I don't regret a single episode . It's definitely one of the best if not the best wee car restoration channel on internet. The commentary is great, funny bits with Kevin and hilarious newspaper details all the time. I love it. It helped me through the pandemic and it helps me nowadays when I need to relax. I used to restore matchbox cars when I was a kid and I do it nowadays on occasion so there is obviously strong connection. Thank you Marty!!!😊😊😊
Still, it remains a childhood memory that I had a lot of fun with the Matchbox cars. The disadvantage of getting older, the young functions of your body decrease. Happy 5th YT anniversary.
Always love the headlines of the NT News! I always use kitchen foil as a gasket between the bottle and lid of Tamiya and similar products. Nice little truck Marty
I'm new to the hobby but I do like restoring the older Matchboxes? Nice to not have to worry about the condition of the windscreen/windows and they're mostly beautiful little models.
Small models require a finer mist, not something you often find in large paint cans. This model is perfectly adorable. Not boring at all. Lots of play value, unlike half of the HotWheels from the last 20 years that are freaked out weirdos only good for the track, and sometimes unsuitable for that.
G'day from Cuxhaven 👋 First the "Trojan" really looked like it had, over years, delivered tons of tea.... 😁 But a little TLC 🛠️🎨🖌️ can work wonders 😉 (And that a resto can take several days, I know only too well 🙄😁) When you have four-legged-mates 🐕🦺🐈 in the house, you always have to expect them to be curious and want to know what "Daddy" is doing.... (I work on models myself and have five sighthounds and two parrots. Now and again there is a nose or a beak "at work" 🤣) Ok, we don't have koalas at the North Sea, but it's still risky to leave the room when there's food on the table.... 😆 (As I said, five sighthounds) But about your work... Excellent, I can't say otherwise 🤩 It's always a pleasure to see a piece of scrap metal turned back into a gem for the display case. 🚗🔎👀👍🏼 What I also like... You're using self constructed tools. Great 😃 (At this point also a shoutout to Paul Restorer in Krakow 👍🏼🇵🇱🤩) Marty, I'm thrilled. Definitely both thumbs up for this 👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks so much for sharing 🙏🏼 Have a great week to you, Julie and all the team behind the scene and stay safe and sound. Keep up the good work, mate 😉 Greetings from the DCcoB at the lighthouse end of the Elbe River. 😎👍🏼🇦🇺✌🏼🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 P.S. Shoutout to Australia's most koalafied jokester 👍🏼🐨🇦🇺
Love the superimposed picture of the real vehicle to compare the toy, please continue to do that. Keep the working hands, it’s a testament to your hard work and efforts. Thanks for the videos.
Congratulations Marty on 5 years of restoration videos. The additional paint detailing of the grille and side lights made the simple model much more interesting.
Happy five years Marty! It’s safe to say without those early videos of yours I would never have been in a position to start out in this hobby. Your thorough explanation of your processes set me away on a journey I never before thought possible. All the best mate and here’s to many more, cheers!
Hi, you did a great job. I love these old models without the windows and with metal wheels, I think the have got something special. Let's go up to the next 5 Years. Many greetings from Germany Mark
#47 was actually may first pick as a Matchbox model, along with #17 light green, the neighbor kid had the (now rare) light blue one!, I think I chose them because I thought they liked more like US vans! Nice job on #47!
Great job Marty! This video was special for me as I have the same model. Mine has been with me from 1961 and in spite of having been played around with, still in reasonable shape. Congratulations on completing five years. Way to go, Marty!
@MartysMatchboxMakeovers you're very welcome. I've been a fan for roughly 4.5 of those 5 years. Here's to 5 more amazing years of awesome restorations 🍻
Marty your videos are ace! Never get bored I could watch these on a loop all day they're so relaxing. Need to have a word with Kevin over his choice of Tetley "tea", there's only one tea and that's Yorkshire. Best in t'world. Best wishes from England. Take care mate
those "locking pliers" we call them mole grips in the U.K In 1947, Thomas Coughtrie went to work for the Birmingham engineering company, M K Mole and Son, and, after the death of the joint managing directors and Mole brothers, became the managing director. In the 1950s Thomas Coughtrie patented his own version of the locking pliers and called them 'Mole grips'.

That's a lovely little tea delivery van and it turned out great!

Well done, Marty! It lurned out lovely in the end. A blind man would be happy to see it.
Congratulations....Great job Marty
As always a perfect work. Thank you for 5 years of MMM!
All this talk of tea reminded me to bring in my sun tea. (It's dark out now.)
Very nice outcome. Great looking model.
Wow, that really is such a pretty van for, as you say, such simplicity! Thanks for doing it!
One of your better headlines there.

Congratulations Marty🎉, 👍
Congratulations! I have been with you for 4 years! You are the reason I started my channel!

Years.
Many greetings from Germany
Mark
Great job Marty, definitely worth a video.👍♥️
Congratulations🎊
Excellent camera work! Congrats on 5 years to Marty, the Mrs. and Kevin.😊
Great makeover Marty, happy 5th for the chanel. In the UK I think we call the locking pliers Mole Grips.
Excellent, Marty - I remember that model from when I was a boy in the 1960s. Nice to see you return it to looking like new!
Happy 5th anniversary off your channel, really hope you do more bus restoration.
#47 was actually may first pick as a Matchbox model, along with #17 light green, the neighbor kid had the (now rare) light blue one!, I think I chose them because I thought they liked more like US vans! Nice job on #47!
Happy 5 years Marty! Thanks for another great restoration~
Nice restoration, details and paint job 👌 👍
Happy 5th anniversary and wish you many more.
Congratulations on 5 years! Such a beautiful model
Excellent. I prefer the longer videos
Nicely done marty ,some hobby spray paints can come out a bit heavy good old Kevin
Congratulations on five years! The model looks quite nice indeed, and is an illustration of your skills that have come with all the practice.
Great job Marty! This video was special for me as I have the same model. Mine has been with me from 1961 and in spite of having been played around with, still in reasonable shape. Congratulations on completing five years. Way to go, Marty!
The early Matchbox models are still the most rewarding in a makeover, with a bit of Tamiya paint and a silver Sharpie.
Congratulations on 5 years Marty. Another excellent job 👍🏻🇦🇺
At 1:52 - "some of Kevin's friends are coming" Oh boy....Great job on the tea truck, looks fabulous. Cheers!
Great restoration as always Marty, congratulations on 5 years 😊🎉
Thank you so much 😀
@MartysMatchboxMakeovers you're very welcome. I've been a fan for roughly 4.5 of those 5 years. Here's to 5 more amazing years of awesome restorations 🍻
As long as it was not original anyway, painting the fenders black, like the real van, would have really made this model pop.
Congratulations on your 5 year anniversary!
Good job Marty and Kev!
Marty your videos are ace! Never get bored I could watch these on a loop all day they're so relaxing. Need to have a word with Kevin over his choice of Tetley "tea", there's only one tea and that's Yorkshire. Best in t'world. Best wishes from England. Take care mate
Happy Birthday MMM 🎉
Congratulations on 5 years of you great makeovers 🥳 looking forward to your next 5 years of makeover Marty
Definitely worth the video!

I enjoyed this one, Marty! This isn't a model that I currently have in my collection, but I need to find one! Happy Anniversary!
Nice restoration turned out nice
Wonderful job and video as always thanks Marty!
I always though Kevin was a Koala. I didn’t realize he was a pig.
That Tea van came out super!
I see Kevin is up to his usual tricks.
And happy 5th year BTW!
It's a lovely result
How time flies, 5 years!
Super. Thank You
Happy birthday !
Happy Anniversary, Marty!
Thanks for all your hard work making sure that we're all "happy with that"! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
