Anyone else laugh at the headlines of the newspapers in the spray booth?

1. Marty for President of the world. 2. I like the ending scene with your current project in its imagined natural habitat.

I'm glad that the double decker bus made it safely to you! Also, this truck looks amazing.

That little yellow truck is so happy to be loved once again. Excellent job.

You didn’t just restore this. You brought it back from the dead.

Well done Marty, that showed your skills I had no idea it was that bad but you brought this little chap back from the dark, again well bloody done cobber

Marty is that cool uncle we all want but don't deserve. You're a gem mate

Lazarus, the quarry truck, back from the dead....great restoration!

Oohhh A Thurday treat.🎅🎅🎅🎅 i was in stitches when the paint brush fell appart🤣🤣

This restoration is courtesy of 'Steve Burrows'. - Thanks mate!

That was one sad sorry truck that most would have given up on. Fantastic work.

Marty, you certainly brought this one back from the dead! Well done, mate.

great,well done,taking a lost toy and bringing it back to life.well done sir.i too was rather taken by the newspaper."watch me lose my clothes", needs further investigation.great watching your vids marty.well done my friend

I paused at 1:04. Do it in two colors! Do it in two colors! It's awesome that it was even found. OK, back to the video. Edit: Done watching. Thank you for all the work and putting gravel in it. Toys are only happy when played with.

Thank you, Steve we enjoyed watching Marty repair the tipper lorry. One of his most difficult resto to date.

Another great one! Love seeing all of your work and seeing the channel keep growing as it is well deserved

Hi, im from Brazil!!! Thanks for another vídeo!!! Amazing!! Thanks!

Hello Mr. Marty's, I found your U-Tube channel by accident. I have watch you remanufactured several Matchboxs. I have determined that you do OUTSTANDING WORK, keep it up young man. Anthony. Inglewood, California. U.S.A. 🐢🇺🇸🐢🇺🇸🐢🇺🇸

Your videos calm my anxiety, thank you!!

Beautiful restoration! It was in really bad shape but it looks brand new. Thanks for sharing this.

Great work. Just shows what can be achieved with a bit of swearing and a lot of skill. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Great work! You give these mass produced toys the value they deserve. The design work you reveal in the tear down is so surprising. These were such desirable, pocketable and inexpensive toys and they survived a hard life, in most cases. It would be fun to remake the little yellow boxes they came in too. The most amazing Lesney Matchbox toys moments included the masses of them donated to Blue Peter appeals. They raised huge sums of money. I feel like collecting some just because they are worthy of huge respect. Thank you for recreating that box fresh moment we got when we tipped our latest bijou toy out of its tiny yellow box and loved it like a friend. Your channel is full of lovely nostalgic surprises.

I love the way you present your videos with your unique gentle humour and always look forward to seeing them. Please spare a thought for all girl households in the 50's and 60s who were never given cars as presents. Your videos more than make up for it. Thank you. 👱

Marty you take this to new heights. What you do is well beyond restoration! The repairs you do are pure MAGIC. And love the sense of humor, and your commentary is also extremely therapeutic.

wow your dedicated, and that truck is happy not to be forgotten anymore.

Not only are you a brilliant restorer Mister Marty you're quite the comedian also keep it up please.

Amazing work! I am constantly surprised at the level of detail those old Matchbox cars and trucks had. No wonder I loved them as a kid... :)

Love your videos, really enjoy watching your restorations and your jokes are an added bonus. 👍🏼🇬🇧

I think those wheels were already cracked by the expanding rust...

lots of flux and flat head soldering iron tip. You do a great job and I'm envious of you skill!

Another great job! Always enjoy watching you make diamonds out of coal. 👍

I had this truck as a kid, and it is an absolute pleasure to watch your restoration skills my friend. Thank you for that Sir 👍 Tam.

You are getting very good at the refurbs!! Good job Marty. Looks like Marty's Mixture was a wee bit too strong🤣🤣🤣🤣. And yes yes yes to bloopers!

Mate, your videos are the best on KZfaq! I can't wait for each one. Keep up the great work and keep the humor coming!

Amazing transformation! I was born in 64 as well. Wish I could be rejuvenated like that. I too look like I’ve been buried in a forest for decades, but I’m betting it’s gonna take more than some sanding paint and glue to do the job.

Wow a true resurrection with this one...but at least you didn’t have to struggle with any pesky decals!🙂👍

Great job Marty! Reforming and re-drilling the broken hinge on the tipper body is a brilliant repair. I will have to revisit my Matchbox K11 Fordson Tractor and trailer and do the same. I repaired the tipper by glueing a piece of metal next to the broken hinge to put the pivot pin through - but I'm not happy with it as a repair. I was strolling through ebay, when i found the K11 set going for very cheap: tipper body missing off trailer, all tyres missing, and the trailer towing eye missing. Steering wheel bent. Later, a job lot of tipper bodies came up for sale: one of which was the correct one. I got this and sold on the other tipper bodies I did not need. Repro tyres and a towing eye got the set coupled up again and rolling. I used a rivet nail for the hinge too. Carefully straightened the steering wheel, and another Matchbox model was saved. Probably ended up spending more on it, than if I had bought a different K11 set in better condition.

I drove a 50 ton Euclid haul truck,when I started at the rock quarry. They were all Euclid green, ugly color actually. Great job Marty! Great video!

Another gem, Marty! Thanks! Roy

This is less of a makeover and more like art.

Mesmerizing work Marty! Hope the wifes TEETH are hanging in there!

Greetings from snowy and cold Canada!! Outstanding restoration, Marty! A great way waiting for the motorway to open after a crash early this morning. Your tipper lorry looks brand new!!

That was a great Restoration Marty, from the forest floor to the top shelf, what a struggle you had with this one. Great finish.

Смотрю все ваши ролики и теперь сам ремонтирую свою коллецию..... спасибо, вам респект и уважение..

Very impressive Marty!

Epic restoration mate. A bit touch and go at times I imagine too

I have that Euclid truck, I paid a dollar for mine and sanded it down and painted it lime green including the center of the wheels. Those trucks were built 25 miles from where I live. Beautiful restoration.

Great job, looks brand new.

that was good work. to get it from what it was to where it is is impressive. well done sir

The 'Hide & Seek' champ took the 'hide' part of the game too seriously!

I wouldnt mind buying a bottle of Marty's magnificent paint stripper. Nice job!

Looks like this one was perhaps your biggest challenge ever. Well done as usualy!

Awesome Marty a lot of work in that one.

Well done mate, you are getting well known and liked in the diecast restoration world, you turned an absolute scrapper in to a bloody decent little model

Hello from the United States. Nice to see another successful restoration. Keep them coming

This one should be titled, Martys Matchbox Miracles.

☠ RIP Hide and seek Champ ☠

Hi Marty! I love your videos and I recently recommended your channel to a friend who became an instant fan! Coca Cola will eat rust; I’m not sure how long it would take as compared to the WD-40 but it’s worth a shot. Great makeover and I look forward to the next project! Cheers.

Now that was the toughest one yet!

nice recovery on the broken pieces!

Well done Marty, another great restoration. I would probably have given up on that one and chucked it in the bin. Or re-buried it in a forest in New South Wales. There's a word for that, but I'm buggered if I know what it is. And if there isn't then there should be.

Oh again a beautiful model, I also had as a child. To solve rust, cola is also good. But you are very handy in restoring, compliment.

It makes me happy to see a long forgotten and broken toy come back to life.

Mate, you have the patience of a saint.

A good test if your skills there Marty

Restoration *par excellante*

WOW! A true labor of love!

Thank you so much for doing your videos I just lost my Golden retrievers to today and I was so sad but when your pant stripper eat your paint brush I had a laugh and then your out takes you are awesome I Watch your video all the time thank you

I have always loved die cast cars and love to restore Hotwheels, but you have renewed my love of Matchbox and I can't wait to restore a few. What is a great resource to learn more about 1-75 Matchbox? I love the learning as much as I love messing about with them...

I didn't realise hide and seek could be lethal.

Another great restoration

"Covered in missing paint..." Sorry, but that line makes my head hurt a little. :) Very good job as usual, Marty!

Instead of paying top dollar for 'polystripper' most store sell there own version, which is MUCH cheaper and does the same job (I get mine from Wilco's). also try using vinegar to dissolve the rust, it works fine.

Ok.... Brought that back from the dead... Are you related to Mr Frankenstein by any chance ??

An incredible makeover! I love it!

Again you have brought a matchbox vehicle back to life! Great work, Marty.

Have you tried to recast them with a mold

I love your channel! Is there a Guide stating the rare models?

As always , I am amazed. Your work is wonderful!

good job Marty didn't think it would be salvageable but once again you have worked your magic well done . you would not think that it had been buried for years

nex time use white vinager to loosen the rust

that was funny

another gem.....for what it is worth when soldering I coat both ends to be soldered with flux the using cored solder just heat the iron, coat with solder and touch the joint to be soldered-seems to work a treat for me....great restoration with just enough silliness -helps us get by in these weird times we live in!

I remember that 🚚! I love these restorations, Marty.😀

The poor child who lost this toy around 40-50 years ago.

LMFAO Sunday Sport, Hide & seek champ found dead in cupboard, Reminds me of the headline they ran in the 80's, World War 2 bomber found on the moon.

Another Damn fine Restoration!!

This is by far your best video yet Marty......once things started breaking I woud have given up and opened a tinny! But you cracked on and ended up with a fine restoration thanks to your skills. Cheers for sharing mate !! 👍👍

Hold on, mate! Let me just go snatch my second dose of caffeine (and my second dose of nicotine) and I will be able to indulge THREE of my favourites at the same time.........................

I don’t think you should give up on your stripper. I suggest a name change to make-up remover, it’s all about marketing.

Marty, you're an artist to be sure.

soak it in 50=50 vinigar and water for about 10 days the rust will be gone,,,, criky marty ya have restord just about every matchbox toy i had as a kid thank's mate ya bringing back a lot of memories for an old 55 year old bloke

Absolutely amazing work here Marty! That repair job for the broken box pivot looked great! Always enjoy watching your videos👍🏻

Beautiful Restoration excelent

It would be great to see all your make overs together in a video.

Miraculous restoration! Even with your skill that had to be tough. *applause*

Another great job well done sir!

Brightening up a wet and miserable Winter's night in Ireland. Class act.

Newspaper headlines used for paint cover are hysterical! Thank you!!

Hi Marty, thank you for sharing your Matchbox restorations. You have awaken a love for these cars and trucks I enjoyed very much as a young boy in the 1960's. My collection has been lost for many years. Watching your show has brought back so many great memories. I like telling my wife which cars and trucks you have restored that were in my collection. My first Matchbox was the army half track my grandmother gave me in about 1964. Thank you so much for restoring these wonderful memories. Wishing all the best from Dallas, Texas. Robert.
