MATCHBOX Restoration 9a Dennis Fire Escape 1955
Рет қаралды 66,714
4 жыл бұрынThis is another fire engine model, the third that I have done. This is one of the oldest models that I have made over so far. Built in 1955 this means that today this model is 64 years old!! - Small and cute, this model was definately not a push over. Thinking I would strip this down and repaint in a couple of hours, how wrong I was! - The paint stripping, repairs and re-painting took much longer than I had anticipated. I am glad that I saw it through because now I have another beautifully simple original style matchbox vehicle for my collection.

I believe there are some of our heroes over there helping out as I write this. God bless them and keep all of the fire fighters. And it’s nice to hear that Kevin is helping his mates out too. Nice little restoration. It came out beautifully. See ya next time.

@@MartysMatchboxMakeovers This would almost make you cry! Years ago my father in law was helping a recently retired friend clear what had been a toy shop to turn it into a tobacconists. Rain had got into a storage room at the back and there was a pile of wet cardboard on the floor. As he shovelled the cardboard into a bucket it turned out to be wet Matchboxes and their former contents! He picked up a handful but didn't have time to go through the whole pile! They weren't worth much back then ........

Hi Marty! You are right= sometimes the small things are more complicated (and challenging) than the big ones. But your lovely restoration job is exactly the needed for this early Matchbox Model. Top notch result 🤩👍 Only a minor color suggestion: metallic surfaces in this class of emergency vehicles are Brass, not gold. You can notice at the end of the video when both machines are side by side. Aniway the final result is a real resurrection model job! 😍 Kudos Marty!

Marty, have you ever considered using a product like Milliput putty to make and repair small little details like those ladder ears? It's a two part epoxy based product and can be cut, drilled, sanded and even tapped with a screw thread, and is water miscable before it cures. It's great stuff and isn't expensive.

Yes Indeed Marty, I was fortunate enough to watch and participate with the Epping Fire Brigade doing a back-burn when I visited back in the early 1990's. Hat's off and a salute to all out First Responders worldwide. For those not familiar with the term, a back-burn is purposely done to consume the brush and dry bush that could spark or help a wildfire spread. A fire break. Tom USA
