Fantastic restoration on the Austin A30, its amazng that it was found by some guy with a metal detector 👍.... Oh by the way Marty the car in the Harry Potter film was a Ford Ang..... oh somebodies beaten me to it 😮... 😂😂
DOH! - I hate that! - I thought I had one but turned out I wwas wrong and now I'm gonna get loads of comments about this I am sure!! :( - Good pickup VGM!
Your right Marty so here goes….. The Flying Ford Anglia was a light blue Ford Anglia 105E Deluxe that was enchanted by Arthur Weasley to fly, as well as to become invisible
Never mind, Marty, to err is human. And I am certein Ms Rowland intended the Hillman Minx to be the HP car, only she couldn‘t remember the name and rhen went for the Ford instead. Take care!
Marty. You have no idea how happy it makes me to see one of your vids when I wake up on Saturday mornings. I had grown used to sharing my time with you, and to have you back is just the best. Thanks for the new run of videos. BTW, this was a fun video - dug up casting are the toughest to resto...
It always amazes me that the same cars I played with as a kid in the 60’s were played with by kids all over the word, Thanks Marty for bringing back so many happy memories.
Thank you so much Marty. Another great episode. This model was my first Matchbox. Received in 1958 when I was three years old from a cousin of my father who married a British guy and was living in Surrey. I still have it, although I managed to break off the tow hook.
Hi there, the display boxes were bought from a japanese knick knack shop called 'Daiso' they have several different sizes and also some double decker bases for two layers of models in one case. Hope you can find them! Marty.
Good morning from Kentucky, USA. We just woke up, and while we are having our morning coffee, I am watching your video. Another wonderful makeover with fantastic results!! Great work Marty, I always enjoy your channel!! Have a great day. 👋☕️
The first car I learned how to drive in, drive a stick in, hand crank and work on was a 1959 Austin A55 MkII my dad owned. He actually had three of them at one time- two of the cars were basket case parts cars that were stripped and scrapped and the other was an old gasser we converted back to stock. Mentioning grants pass, Oregon we lived in portland at that time, a three hour drive north. Dad sold that car and the parts in the mid 90s and I haven't seen it since. I'd love to see it again. Nice restoration on the car!
In my mind I always end up back in the 1960s in 'Timothy Whites' the Chemist, the display cabinet is on the wall and it is full of matchbox cars, all in the little boxes. Still an exciting thought to this day.
I have the same memories but from 'Giffords' in Basingstoke. Up a flight of wooden stairs and there's the display cabinet. I would drool over it , the smell of the wood and wax polish is still in my head.
I am SUPER grateful, for you being in this world, and for being apart of the die-cast restoration and customization, community, Marty!! Thank you, for bringing back your talents to the internet, it always brings me a big smile, and I love sharing your videos with our 3 young daughters. They think you're funny, and waaaayyyy cooler 😎 than me. Hahahhaha Hope you, and your wife, are having a wonderful weekend, enjoying lots of laughs and great health. P.S. WOW, That color is gorgeous, and it's a great little casting.
That's crazy how that paint separated like that, that's like when oil separates from water, looks like the blue paint was oil base or enamel paint, Idk, wow that car was really rough, you brought it back to life and you did good on the color, I like the color on it too, and the display stands you had with the cars on them looked like you have some nice ones, at the end of the video I thought watch he's gonna grab that fence and it will be an electric fence and Kevin will turn it on lol, you got hung up and sat on a barb wire it was funny but maybe more courageous, thanks for a awesome and entertaining video
There is a product in North America, (not sure if it is available in Australia, ) for rust removal. It is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and reusable. It has been used by a number of TH-camrs, though I started using it before seeing it on YT. I'm not one to advertise for a product, but this stuff does work. It's called Evaporust. Comes in a 4L jug. It requires full immersion of the item (i.e. it's not a brush on. ) I personally have used it many times and am always amazed at how well it removes rust. Good for any ferrous metals with corrosion (rust. ) Love the restorations! Miss seeing Julie in the videos. Hi to her!
I built a vintage motorcycle and it had a green element in the paint. I spent hours scouring photos before finally deciding on the color. The bike came out fantastic. Guess what??? The green element on my bike has a different green color shade in ever photograph I take .
Another great video, Marty. Informative and humorous, very entertaining. I like when Australians say their Winters are freezing. Very funny indeed. A product for cleaning rust that I have used with great success is Evaporust.
Considering how long the little one was "buried" somewhere, the resto has become excellent. 🤩👍🏼 With the amount of damage, it's almost impossible to get it back to a new condition. But you can clearly see how much TLC 🛠️🎨🖌️ you've invested in transforming the Austin from a piece of scrap metal back into a gem for the showcase 😉 Well done Marty, clearly both thumbs up for this 👍🏼👍🏼 Thanks a lot for sharing 🙏🏼 A bonza weekend 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 on the rainy North Sea shore 🌧️ ☔ 🙄 😎👍🏼🇦🇺🍻🇩🇪👍🏼🤠 (P.S. Entry in Marty's notes: Next time you climb over a fence, don't just take a walkie talkie, take a pair of wire cutters with you 🤣. KEVIN 🐨🐾)
Marty, thank you for your hard work and dedication. You always put out top notch content, and this restoration was fantastic. I'm currently going through a rough patch in my life, and watching your videos lets me put all of my troubles out of my mind for a moment and bring some relief. Again, thank you very much. Cheers.
Another beautiful restoration. Winter now here in Canada, so I'm playing catchup with videos. I half expected a shot of Kevin napping off all those snacks.😉 Keep well. I'm looking forward to more videos.
I enjoy watching your videos, but I really like to see that you paint the tail lights red something you could do but it really does add to it. Thank you!
For just a second there during the introduction I thought you were going to say that model was sent in by Brian May, guitarist from Queen. He has such a wide range of interests, it wouldn't surprise me too much to discover he's an MMM fan.
This is just incredible work Marty! It seem that the more damaged a model is the more it looks like it just came out of the box after you restore it. Thanks to you, Brian and Darren for making this tutorial possible.
@@andrewparker5121 I do play bolt action! Have the Fallshirmjager as my first army, then British airborne and now working on the IJA army for the Critical Hit campaign Warlord is starting soon.
@RedRockGamerSTG cool, good luck in the campaign. I play Germans, Chindits, 8th army, and British Indians. I want to do more, I just haven't got the armies painted yet.
Talk about risen from the dead, it looks lovely and the colour looks perfectly appropriate. BTW, that's not where the tail lights are. They are circular lights lower down on the back panel above the bumper bar. 😊
Absolutely love that you save models others would just throw in the bin. I've mentioned before (from my personal account) that your work inspired me to unpack my collection and do my own restoration on the Studebaker Lark Wagonair. Ultimately, your inspiration has sent me down the diecast social media rabbit hole and I've never been happier. Thanks Marty!
Love the A50s. I own two cars and seven or eight matchbox models. The tail lights are in the rear panel under the boot lid. Not where you painted them. Really enjoy your videos.
Sir Herbert Austin (1866-1941) would be proud ..Thumbs Up ! 😎 this has me wondering what became of the 2021/22 Austin Arrow Electric vehicle project ..Hmmmm🤔 😇❤
I was about to add that the Harry Potter car was a ... never mind, a couple double-dozen comments already mentioned it. XD seriously, this was close to the buried truck you did a couple years ago, a little less corroded, but still a challenge. :) maybe someone recommended it already, but Revell and Tamiya offer modeler's putty, the only difference is that Revell's stuff is an off-white and Tamiya's is medium grey (cool grey IV, as Faber-Castell would put it). odd thing with the paint. maybe it is like with engine oils; supposedly mixable, but with modern stuff, additives can clash and cause damages. maybe the paint makers use different basics, who knows. but it ended up being a nice green. :) also, interesting "windshield brace". I'd assume they meant hinting at the windshield sealing frame. but that edge there? no idea. as if they wanted to experiment on fastening a window insert, and discarded it without re-retooling the mould again. it has happened before, like then Majorette's VW 1302 lost it's bonnet but the interior still had the boot with a suitcase moulded in. anyway. so you went metaldetecting... what was that beep, then? probably a blop of rusted metal, I guess. and on your way back you had to discover that Kevin can perform a Kevin without even being there... XD

Great work Marty. The car used in Harry Potter was a Ford Anglia 105e, I once had one.
yes, the Anglia was Matchbox #7, in production to 1966, then the Anglia was replaced by the Ford D series refuse truck in 1967.
Marty, so good to be back at your new property again since my hyadis
😂😂😂Marty as always you are true entertainment on multiple levels
Thank you once again.
Love ya, Marty. Thanks for all the years of fun… and hopefully many more! You’re a Gem!!
A fun video Marty, and you hav to tell Kevin that he has to do what you tell him to do, give him a hard time from me. And I like your resto also.
Hi Marty, It turned out fine, you put to much trust in that 🐻, All the best Brian 😃
Thank you
That ain't no bear, thats a fully fledged drop bear!

Thank you Marty, it looks fantastic. You did an amazing job!
Thanks again!
My dad had a real one back in the 60's. I remember being drove around in it.
Another great video Marty, i use my cigar lighter to heat up the metal
Nice of Brian to take time out from Queen to send you the model. ;)
Haha, I get that a lot.
Wow! Love that you did tail lights too. Amazing work as always Sir.
That is one heck of a makeover on a model in that condition Marty, and I love the colour.
So Brian May isn't just a talented guitar player, engineer, and astrophysicist, he's also a dedicated metal detector!
😁
Very well done Marty. And I hope you have Kevin a piece of your mind🐨😂😂😂
Luv your videos my friend thanks for sharing..
This is honestly one of my favourite channels. Please never stop.
Thank you so much Marty. Another great episode.

Great job and a nice colour. Hope you don’t mind me asking, but where did you buy those nice curved display boxes?
Hi there, the display boxes were bought from a japanese knick knack shop called 'Daiso' they have several different sizes and also some double decker bases for two layers of models in one case. Hope you can find them! Marty.
Another triumph Marty! I also went to see the channel you recommended to see the car being found! I left a hello from a Marty fan in the comments
Marty I love to watch you videos I love Kevin keep up all you amazing work be happy be safe ❤
Great job on that little sedan!
I hope somebody brought you some wire cutters!
Brilliant as always. Such a steady hand with that silver paint!

28mm at all?

Nicely done. I am an American in Tokyo.
love your videos .watching from Canada.
Marty it turned out fantastic. Awesome job, that was a rough little casting 🌴👍👍😎🌴
Nice one, the ones that have been in the ground are a real challenge, I have a spot-on Morris Minor to do that was in an orchard.
Stunning bit of work Marty. I can almost imagine the child who owned it having lost it years ago.
Love the A50s. I own two cars and seven or eight matchbox models. The tail lights are in the rear panel under the boot lid. Not where you painted them. Really enjoy your videos.
HA !! cute ending !!
Nice fleet, Marty!
What a find and what a job!! Congratulations!!
perfect mate,perfect colour for the car,thats one of my favorate colours for that period of car,better than some of these restorers on here
Thank you Marty, it looks fantastic. You did an amazing job!. Hi Marty! An absolutely lovely restoration!.
Hi Marty,
I still know the Austin A50.
Thankfully Kevin is standing bay.
awesome awesome mr marty

That is a tiny model. Yet so detailed.
Love Kevin!!!!!😂😂😂

Great little model. I'm very confident that the Harry Potter car is a Ford Anglia. This would be Matchbox No 7B.
